Euro 2016 Qualifier - Ireland v Germany

Oireland keep switching off for the short corners.

I like us pressing but surely Cyrus Christie shouldn’t be part of the press? They won’t be shy about hitting Muller directly if he keeps creeping forward.

Great tracking back from McCarthy there.

Christie caught out of position twice again. First time Keogh had to go out and cover him, then he got sucked far too centrally on the return cross but got out for the block in fairness.

Really poor from the corner. Terrible header by Boateng.

Really poor technique on that header from Boateng.

Free as a fuckin bird.
Oh jaysus.

Great play from Hoolahan.

Are the Gerries a bit nervy? Kicking to touch a lot when they could play out

I like this shape with Brady narrow to help our midfield. Need to be wary of Ozil drifting out to the right though and finding space. It’s worth a gamble that Ginter won’t cause too many problems but Muller and Ozil are very good at finding space.

Possibly. He fresh aired another chance.,

Hoolahan has been excellent early doors here. Scurrying back, making tackles and using the ball well.

Lucky escape there.

Close again. Good block by O’Shea.

Christie a bit weak again. Got his positioning right this time but didn’t need to commit to the tackle like that, keep them outside.

Cunt. Referee.

that was ominous

Ref acting the cunt… Spanish waiter cunt

Christie struggling a bit, he needs a bit of protection

Need to start chucking things at the linesman. Eastern European countries would never let match officials off that easy.

Agreed. I’ve been singling him out but the only support is generally from Keogh, apart from McCarthy once. They will overload that left side going forward and we can’t leave him on his own.
