But ONeill, whose fourth-placed side trail their opponents by three points, said: If I was to make a judgement on every single player at club level I might be listening to the wrong comments. Roberto Martinez is absolutely entitled to pick whoever he wants. If he doesn t think Aiden is playing well enough to merit a place in his team, thats entirely up to him. Weve a different aspect here. We sometimes maybe dont have that particular choice in hand for players in that position. But Aiden is very important to us and a change of environment might just give him a lift. McGeady has scored more goals for his country this season two than he has for the Toffees one.

His match-winning double in Georgia in September has helped Ireland stay in contention for one of the two automatic qualifying berths for France 2016. ONeill added: Its a disappointment from this side that Aidens not playing. It would be great, absolutely fantastic, if players were coming in here on the back of having played the last couple of weekends, but you always sense its never going to be that way. What you wouldnt want is to be going into a game with maybe three or four not having played that much football. But I think adrenaline can carry you a certain distance. Listen, this is a big game, a really big game. Its taken a long while for it to come around and its nearly upon us now so they should feed off all of this and be really positive.

I want the players to go into the game with real, serious confidence, said O Neill. Put club football aside. Forget its trials and tribulations, get that shirt on and give it everything. Were playing at home and the crowd will be on our side, at least for a while, so go for it.
