John O'Shea's Republic of Ireland side welcome Switzerland to the Aviva Stadium on Tuesday. Here's everything you need to know about the game.
International friendly: Republic of Ireland v Switzerland, Tuesday 7:45pm, Aviva Stadium.Listen to live commentary on RTÉ 2fm's Game On with coverage starting at 6pm.A chilly evening appears to be in store for those heading to Lansdowne Road, although it should at least be dry, with blustery winds and highs of 6C come kick-off.A better performance and result than was feared is probably the verdict to take from Saturday’s scoreless draw with Belgium at the Aviva.
A similar line-up and approach to that we saw on Saturday is almost certain from the interim Ireland manager, with a 3-4-3 set-up likely again. "Like all the lads training today, they’ll have a very good opportunity of making their debuts but we’ll be assessing that after training."While O’Shea has been understandably coy on his future and refusing to be drawn as to whether or not he’ll be involved in the Irish set-up after Tuesday evening, his players have been effusive in their praise of the interim boss.
"I think he has been brilliant this week," was the verdict from Smallbone."He has got his message across clearly. He’s a good man manager, I think he’s obviously got an abundance of experience from his playing days and I think him getting that across in a managerial way is very important."
