We could do with players like Pukki and Kamara

Theyā€™ve fallen a long way since Mixu Paatelainen was in his pomp.

Big Sam would love a few quid from Denis Oā€™Brien and the chance to regale us of his days marching around Limerick with Fr Joe shaking a bucket

Weā€™re not exactly in a position to turn our nose up at Puki or Kamara, we started Horgan and Maguire tonight

If we had pukki we would have walked that game tonight. Kenny needs to be brave going forward. Deadwood like mcclean, long need to be left out of the squad going forward. We cant keep going back to them.

We wouldnā€™t have walked the game ffs, just like we wouldnā€™t have automatically beat Slovakia if we had Connolly

So did Brian Kerr and he was disgracefully hounded out in jig time.
Paddy gets mighty peevish if the bandwagon gets a flat.

A proven goalscorer is the differentiator between being a handy team and a top team. You can mask quality all over the field with hard work and formations etc.

If youā€™ve noone to put the ball in the net on a regular basis you are fucked.

Didsy is grand and all but he isnā€™t what we need. We need him and another one

Pukki is about 10 levels of an upgrade on Maguire. Kenny has to stop playing players like that.

Kerr was the most blackguarder manager in my life time.

Pukki didnā€™t score for Finland either and missed a decent chance. These are all low enough level players in the grand scheme of things. None of them on their own are going to make a monumental difference

kerr was shit

Iā€™m not talking about pukki. Iā€™m just talking in general. You can mask a lot of shit by having a fella whoā€™ll score a goal for you.

Look at robbie keane. Hed often get a goal out of nothing to nab a draw or win a game

Itā€™s the major differentiator between about 20 in the world and 50 in the world. That small bit of quality.

Weā€™ve noone like that at the moment
