Republic of Ireland midfielder Keith Fahey is hoping to put a frustrating spell behind him by playing in Friday's World Cup qualifier against Germany.
On the possibility of a new system being adopted by Trapattoni, Fahey added: "It might bring opportunity. "In the summer, I dropped out and someone else came in. In football, someone's loss is someone else's gain, so maybe there will be opportunities for lads to step in and get a chance to play. "Playing three against the quality of Germany is going to help the team be more solid. "When we played Spain, the two lads, Keith and Glenn, put in a massive shift, but they still couldn't get near Spain with their quality. But playing a three in there will definitely help the team be more solid. "But whatever way the manager decides to go, he has got personnel there who want to play and want to wear the green shirt. Everyone is willing to do whatever they are asked to do."
