Macand Murphy who both have very impressive CVs are left behind for Kitching who’s a slightly above average championship centre back.
Heimir needs to watch football outside of England
There wasn’t a single right back in the squad this past break but we still haven’t capped Empolis 18 year old starting rightback at U21 level. Ogbene plays 30 minutes a game in the championship but Doherty who averages a goal a game in Norway is in the U21s…
Matteo Egan was set to receive his first Ireland U21 call-up but ankle swelling has delayed that. Chance he joins up with the squad if the situation improves.
Sometimes you just watch a player and know he has it. Rory Finneran certainly has it.
It’s been an incredible couple of weeks for the 18-year-old, who made his competitive Ireland U21 debut against Slovakia and immediately looked at home in the middle of the park.
He carried that form into the Kazakhstan game before producing an outstanding display against England on Tuesday night, picking up an assist and running the show alongside Devaney. Watching the two of them together, you couldn’t help but think we could be looking at the future of Ireland’s midfield for the next 15 years.
And the frightening thing? Finneran is still eligible for the next TWO U21 campaigns. That’s how young he is
Today, I watched him make his return to Notts County against Oxford United, coming on at half-time, and he was simply a level above.
In possession, out of possession, his passing, his ability to receive the ball on the front foot and drive his team forward, his defensive positioning and awareness. Everything about his performance screamed quality.
And then came a moment he’ll never forget. A stunning left-footed strike in the 91st minute to score his first senior goal.
Despite County losing 2-1, I came away from that second half thinking about just how outstanding this young lad could become.
To be just 18 years of age and look that comfortable, never mind dominate a game at League One level, is exceptional.
Ireland and Newcastle United have a top talent on their hands, and we’re only scratching the surface of what Rory Finneran can become.
