Manager Giovanni Trapattoni selected Richard Dunne for the crucial World Cup qualifier against Sweden at the Aviva on Friday cos he believes the Iron Curtain is back to the shape he was in before the onset of the injury problems that have hampered him over the last 15 months.
And Trap revealed heÂ’d considered playing four strikers across the field before plumping for James McClean on the left.
While keeper David Forde gets the nod cos of his “mentality” and the fact he’d played against the Swedes in Stockholm.
