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.

We’re so open every time at the back. No organisation or structure or cohesion or any semblance that we know what we’re at.

The Dutch aren’t even that good. Often it’s just one pass or interception and they are in.

They wont play for him as he’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.

That’s an embarassing excuse for Cantwell to be chasing after

Very little ambition from the midfield alright. Whelan had a go at Dara O’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 couldn’t work it out so passed backwards instead.

There’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 there’s a guy marking the two because they’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 don’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
