Sat 11 Nov 2009Lawrence would seem the obvious choice on the right
IT REALLY surprised me yesterday when I heard that Giovanni Trapattoni was holding off naming Liam Lawrence or Aiden McGeady in the team, it struck me as very un-Trapattoni-like.
I doubt very much if it’s a question of playing games with the French, they will know both players anyway, so I don’t see how delaying the selection will bring any great advantage. And, besides, I don’t see Trapattoni as a game-player, he’s old school, it’s not his style.
