FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[Dag Dog]

He's average. Not much improvement on what's already there.

[Baile Brigín 2]

Great to get another player but more importantly, is he much good?  Will he start.  Has he potential

Looks to have gone down badly with the ole ole brigade. He turned Ireland diwn before and looks a long way from being worth the hassle

Looks like they copied Ireland merchandise from Aldi and Lidl.

I see some chat on radio and online re whether Ferguson starts v France. How is there even any debate?
If Kenny doesn't what is the point of the development chatter.
As a manager he should be looking to get him and Obafemi up top.

Unless he is wedded to his own style and systems. Then we hear we don't have the players to play a certain style - one that he doesn't want to change....

I think you have hit the nail on the head. Kenny has a system and Ferguson doesn't fit. Question is does he t**ker to accommodate his only on form striker who happens to be in form in the Premiership or stick to the system that is doing so well. If he doesn't I think that is him refardless of results.

Wasn't the system developed because he didn't have an out and out striker  ?

Which he now does

[seafoid]

When the facts change does he not change his mind?

[Captain Scarlet]

How strong will he go tomorrow?
Like he surely wants whoever is going to be close to Ferguson v France starting. Allow some game time together.

For France... 3 5 2
Bazunu
O'Shea Collins Egan
Coleman Cullen Knight Hendrick/ Smallbone Doherty
Obafemi/ Ogbene Ferguson

We won't have much ball anyways...

[seafoid]

France are in transition. Deschamps is building a new team.Lloris and I think Varane have retired. 

[Capt Pat]

20 minutes into his debut and Ferguson has a tap in. 2 nil up and Latvia don't look up to much.

[Blowitupref]

That was some strike on the Latvia goal.
