Ireland v France ☘

He has looked a bit panicky on the ball at times when he gets on it close to our goal,

Wait until he loses the puppy fat.

0-0 at half-time, without any real clear cut chances for France.

No brainer, mate.

That’s the most bollock bursting we’ve looked in years in fairness. Even a general bum like Doherty is having his moments.

Very good half.

Great start and recovered well after a lull halfway through.

Would like us to be a tiny bit more ambitious with the ball in their half. I know we’re trying not to give it straight back to them with hopeful crosses and the lack of a left footer isn’t helping on that flank but we have slowed a few promising attacks.

Excellent energy about us though and our defensive shape has been really good outside a little spell where they had us stretched for a few minutes.

Think Bazunu has done very well on the front foot in goals. He’s mopped up anything over the top and a few loose balls in the box.

Good atmosphere in the ground
Spock more pragmatic with essentially 4-5-1
Set pieces have been poor
Ze French lobbing high crosses into box is not the worst for us
Subs will be key to keep the work rate up
First 10 mins of second half will be key

Old ole ole

Ogbene could bag himself a nice transfer out of tonight.

Bazunu is looking very assured. He is far better than Kelleher. No comparison really.

He’s miles ahead of him. No contest

Bring on Duffy and Brady and win this game from a corner

He needs to to demand a transfer further North, cut his hair and rebrand to ‘no nonsense’ Kevin Kelleher.

Let’s see how he does when he has shot to save first

It’s a shame we can’t pass the ball. It really hinders a team looking to play passing football. Everything else has been great.

Small thing but Baz’s kicking is really good, gives his centre forward a chance

Blatant racism

That’s a pretty big thing though.
