Netherlands vs Republic of Ireland - 18/11/2023

Knight gave it away again there. Luckily the Dutchies are only farting about.

Three centre backs attacking the one ball, then a giveaway, now another giveaway.

What an absolute shambles

The midfield are turning their back on Collins there. None of them want the ball.

He is the only lad in a green shirt who looks like he can play

Get Callum Robinson off. 5th ball he has given away there. Making no effort.

Ireland could have conceded 4 in the last 10 minutes there only for The Dutch fannying about.

Weā€™re so open every time at the back. No organisation or structure or cohesion or any semblance that we know what weā€™re at.

The Dutch arenā€™t even that good. Often itā€™s just one pass or interception and they are in.

They wont play for him as heā€™s a horrible gutless Cunt.

If shooting ones self in the foot was in a literal sense this team under Kenny would be blasting towards China at this stage.

They let us off the hook on 3 occasions there before half-time. Wayward passes giving Simons and Gakpo brilliant openings.

Tempted to switch over to that France game

Jersey pull for Spock to hold onto in the post-match interview.

Thatā€™s an embarassing excuse for Cantwell to be chasing after

Very little ambition from the midfield alright. Whelan had a go at Dara Oā€™Shea for a square pass earlier but he did that after moving forward with the ball and then finding Cullen (square but in space). Cullen just stood with the ball while there were 2 lads making runs off him and tried to figure out how to pass it square instead and couldnā€™t work it out so passed backwards instead.

Thereā€™s no pattern of ambition or creativity. You can see it with Collins at the back asking Scales to go into the space but Manning is there and thereā€™s a guy marking the two because theyā€™re in a line together and as you said the midfield are just watching that happen.

Alcaraz v Joker is the better option

The Best Pals derby between Switzerland and Kosovo is on TV3. 0-0 at half time. The Swiss donā€™t seem to be in good form and I think the Kosovars could get something out of that, maybe even win it.

What a waste of 45 minutes starting Robinson

He is half afraid of some of the higher profile players
