Paul Green to start vs Sweden

Green is in there as a tackling, defensive, busy-body to break up play. And also to protect the back 4 and to allow Coleman to get forward more. Thats not the job you would expect from Mccarthy or Hoolahan. If we are going for defensive tactics (as always under Trapp), then Green is a good choice.

Lets give Green a chance. I'm not a massive fan, but I havent seen that much of him lately. But the coaching staff have.

I do think that apart from Green, its probably the team that most people would pick from the players available.

Yet Warnock plays him on the wing

Still he s average at best. No pace or anything really, just works hard

We signed Ian Rush and slapped him on the wing - long before the days of NW ......

as you talk a lot of sence forestlen trap will never be sacked they haven't got the money to pay him off well that's what they'll tell you
what a poor state irish football is in not playing players that should play but the likes of robbie keane playing out in disney land the mind boggles hopefully when traps contract runs out this time it won't be renewed

Not sure if we have been impressive the opening 20 mins or Sweden are just bad.

Greeny got a Yellow

Cmon Greeny , Get a Goal now !!!

He even made a forward pass
Green is just terrible

Paul.

he was a bit of a tool though, already on a yellow, bit of a soft card tbh and Gunter made a meal of it, not even sure it was in the box
