'He's a big man, Jesus he's huge!'

Paddy Barrett reckons he will have his hands if he is to once again keep Rosenborg star man Nicklas Bendtner quiet.

The centre-half came on in the first-leg for the injured Niclas Vemmelund - and he helped keep the former Arsenal man from imposing himself in the Dundalk penalty area.

Kenny's defenders will have to be on their toes once again in Trondheim.

"He's a big man, Jesus he's huge," remarked Barrett. "He's about two heads bigger than me and I was peaking around the corner when the ball was coming into him.

"But Bendtner has had a good career and his best days were at Arsenal and he's been around.


"He's played at the highest level possible and we know what he's capable of if we let him.

"But it's important we play him like we did tonight and limit his chances. He's a fox in the box when they have the ball out wide

"He's a big lad who will use his height and strength so hopefully the boys can stop the crosses and not give him the chance because we know how good he is and what he's capable of doing."
