THOMAS DELANEY expects all-out war against Ireland tomorrow night.
The Denmark midfielder has gotten used to facing the Boys in Green over the past two years.
And he reckons his side will prevail at the Aviva Stadium once their game-plan is executed correctly.
Delaney brought up the 5-1 rout in the World Cup play-off as motivation.
Having previously described trying to break Ireland’s defensive tactics as “opening a tin of baked beans with your bare hands”, he knows all the pressure is on the hosts.
The 28-year-old said: “It’s going to be a war in Dublin.
“Ireland need to beat us and so will bring everything into the match.
“If we’re not on our game, we’ll lose.
“It’s comical that we’re in the same situation in the same week as two years ago.
“Going into the game having won 5-1 makes a great difference.

“I don’t see this being the same game but as a team we know that we can beat Ireland.
“Just because we only need a draw won’t change our approach.
“Scoring and winning is the plan. I don’t want to be going into the last ten minutes scoreless because Ireland will apply massive pressure.”
