The Irish boss says he has no concerns about the match sharpness of experienced duo Séamus Coleman and Robbie Brady ahead of next week’s showdown in Prague. Sammie will give us dimension and the same way Robbie Brady gives us another dimension. A physical team, big energy in that team, tall players, good at set plays. "How they have been speaking in the press conference is he picks not only good players, he picks players that are ready for war. Defenders: Séamus Coleman (Everton), Jimmy Dunne (QPR), Nathan Collins (Brentford), Dara O'Shea (Ipswich Town), Jake O'Brien (Everton), John Egan (Hull City), James Abankwah (Watford), Liam Scales (Celtic)*, Robbie Brady (Preston North End), Ryan Manning (Southampton).
