Mick McCarthy insists Beginning Aaron Connolly at the Republic of Irelands European Qualifier at Switzerland on Tuesday would Nt be a Threat.
Even the Brighton striker scored two before the break in their 3-0 win over Tottenham and won his first cap off the bench as he came on for the last 11 minutes of the 0-0 draw in Georgia on Saturday.
But requested in his pre-match press conference at the Stade de Geneva if itd be a gamble to start him against the Swiss, McCarthy explained:Well, that is the question, is not it?
Asking me would I risk him, there is a hint that theres. I dont believe theres.
He has now made his introduction. He had a cameo and also did well in it and that I believe he will be feeling familiar with himself, so no, I do not think that it could be a danger at all to begin him.
McCarthy did admit, however, that he would not utilize the adolescent as a striker, the James Collins of the part Luton happened in Tbilisi.
I wouldnt want him to be more isolated up there, thats for certain, added McCarthy.
They play three at the back and I think putting Aaron into that, when I made a decision to take action, placing him on his own would be a huge ask I think on his very first full launch.
McCarthy was asked on several events concerning his team selection that was potential along with McCarthy took exception once a journalist asserted that Connolly would start in Geneva.
If you are able to subtract that out of my tone of voice and how I appear, then fair play to you, stated McCarthy.
I would just drop him you today.
As for Switzerland, McCarthy believes that they were the best team against Denmark despite the side asserting a win in Copenhagen, at the weekend.
I watched the game the other night and Switzerland were so fantastic. They were the best team, he concluded.
[Kasper] Schmeichel produced three world wide saves to help keep them from the game.
Denmark needed a goalkeeper who created three world class saves. Denmark then needed a player who chose on a pass, whos capable of picking that pass, Real Madrid have been after him, and that is – [Spiritual ] Eriksen.
He watched its beyond me, and also how he implemented it is beyond me, though thats because Im not really as talented as himand the finish was great in [Yussuf] Poulsen, who is a very good player.
That happens in games but Switzerland were far and away the best team
