Delaney was right about this 3-5-2 nonsense early doors.

Easy see how teams figure out Kenny teams so easily and why we struggle against so called minnows

Heā€™s 31. Spent most of his career in the championship with Wolves before he had a real breakthrough season in 2018/19 under Nuno. Perhaps unwisely decided to leave his cushy attacking role at Wolves to go to Spurs then and has been struggling for regular games since.

We could still have a play-off if results go our way in other groups. We need to get Spock out ASAP and bring in a competent manager with a view to that potential play-off semi-final on the horizon.

Gibraltar teams never feared Brendan Rodgers.

I presume that Wales defeat to Armenia tonight is a bit of a disaster for our play-off prospects? We need as few upsets as possible really. I can imagine Steo spinning that result in his debrief with Keith Andrews. Crowing about how we beat those Armenians at home.

Delaney was good tonight on Kenny not doing anything to counteract the Greeksā€™ 4-3-3. How the high & wide starting positions of the two wide attackers pushed us into a back 5 & we then had no ability to transition from that to being able to build anything going forward. ā€œStaggeringā€ they could go away to prepare in Turkey for 10 days & not have any plan on how to react if the opposition did this.

Itā€™s slightly disconcerting to think that Spock/Bossman Steo is earning far more in his current role than any anaesthetists in the country. Cardiologists saving actual lives but a clueless and harmless type like Steo earning more. Itā€™s hard to have too much sympathy for him when you let that sink in. OTB are telling us that Kenny is actually doing it for a tuppence too. Heā€™s on nearly 600k a year for christ sake.

Awful pity Hughton is no longer available

NI were robbed of a draw with Denmark in Copenhagen tonight, last minute equaliser ruled out for a very dodgy offside call. Anyone defending Kenny on the basis that he doesnā€™t have the players should look at the NI team, three 19 year olds started tonight and an 18 year old scored the disallowed goal.

Is he really on 600k? Thatā€™s unbelievable.

When the OTB crew are turning you know the jig is up.

Michael Oā€™Neill is a much superior manager. Theyā€™ve as many mediocre players as us but never get humiliated as often as we do. Much better drilled. We, on the other hand, always look like conceding.

I donā€™t think any other European nation would be interested in taking Kenny as their manager. Thatā€™s the long & short of it, & I include the minnow countries in that. Iā€™d swap Spock for the Gibraltar manager.

Its mad. Its like RTE paying all their presenters obscene wages so they donā€™t get poached even though that will never happen

Roy Hodgson could be the answer.
