Our under 21s are second in their qualifying group with a game in hand. We’ve had youngsters playing for Liverpool, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Manchester City in pre-season. Wales would probably call them up to the senior squad. That isn’t a jibe, it’s just not how our management set up selects younger players. Our under 17s and 19s sides are very very good. Declan Rice looks set to stick with Ireland and is a hugely talented lad. There are several lads aged 21-23 who are playing regularly enough in the Championship. Many of whom will be likely to be mainstays for years to come. Ryan Manning (22), Callum O’Dowda (23), Alan Browne (23), Robinson (23) Conor O’Shaugnessy (20/21) Josh Cullen (22) are all decent players coming through and are already established decently at their clubs. Sean Maguire has just turned 24, which isn’t exactly young, but he’s been in shit hot form when fit in the Championship. Our domestic league is now providing half decent internationals every few years too. Why aren't any youngsters in the squad considering your injury crisis Because all the youngsters are all choosing to play for England....

Who are your brighter young players, don't think you have any players under 23 in the squad. kick them when they're down why don't you.... guarantee we lose tonight now!Opta stats Wales are without a win in their last eight meetings with Ireland in all competitions (D4 L4) and have never beaten them in a competitive match (P4 W0 D2 L2). Law of averages surely.....?!

Stats and history are bollocks. We beat Israel 0-3 away who hasn't lost at home in 4 years beat Russia who we'd never beaten 3-0. We are favourites and rightly so but if we lose or draw it won't be because of our last 8 games against Ireland. If black comes in on roulette 100 times in a row it's still 50/50 with red on the 101st spin (discounting green 0).

Weird starting elevens from both teams imo.
Ireland playing a 3-5-2 with Coleman playing centre half!!! Even though we’ve several half decent centre backs on the bench.
Bizzare.

No one can accuse him of being too cautious! It's not far off a fan's XI imo, we'll see how it works!

Apprehensive but very very excited by that starting XI! This is going one of two ways - real bad or real good.

Great performance so far.
Great goals against a very poor ROI.
NOT MANY ROI SUPPORTERS EITHER.

Will gladly take a hammering if it means we get rid of Martin O'Neill and management.

Giggs making Chris Coleman look very ordinary here. Euros look like it was the Bale and Osian Roberts show

Giggs making Chris Coleman look very ordinary here. Euros look like it was the Bale and Osian Roberts show I could say a great many things about Coleman right now, I shall just summarise thus: Thank fuck he's gone.

We were magnificent tonight. We could have had 7 or 8 we were that good. Ireland have got absolutely nothing going for them.
Ampadu and Brooks fantastic.

Oh yeh behind him now chatting rubbish typical eh I was very anti Giggs, to be fair he’s come in and done well, it’s a pleasure watching Wales but that’s not to say the ‘anti Giggs mob’ didn’t raise valid points at the time. Everyone was going to get behind the team and Giggs when it came to the matches.

Teams largely irrelevant With Bale back at home - We play we win They stop us playing draw or defeat No different than 11 months ago ! Up to us really who is or isn’t available for them isn’t relevant Oh yes ! False 9 ? Quality 9 ! Great team performance- Ampadu outstanding !
