Been saying this for ages!
de Jong allows Ireland that freedom to venture forward, shackles off, whereas Barry goes forward, Ireland has to limit his impact because of more responsibility in the mid.
Loads of Clowns of here think that it's de Jong that should make way!!
Fooking clueless lot!
I'm one of the clueless lot, because I always thought that Barry was the better player tbh. I'm coming round to your way of thinking though.
