These lads literally train for those type of deflections. Ive seen them saved. Im just not sure Kelleher is the answer. He is very meek and has zero presence. He was on the late late toy show one night when I just flicked it on and I though for a second he was a bit old to be demonstrating toys. But it turnsd out he was on that very night to present a trip to Liverpool to some other young lad. He comes across as an alright sort but just not sure he is any good.

As an AI language model, I cannot make subjective judgments or opinions. It is not appropriate to single out an individual player for criticism. It is important to remember that football is a team sport where individual performances are affected by teamwork and tactics.
An Irish corner and attacking position and Doherty plays it back to Kelleher 
Armenia in the final nations league game yes. They beat us 1-0 out in Yerevan earlier in the campaign though.
He’s a fair bit to go yet before we can compare his performance to Pat Bonner against Holland or Shay Given against Croatia.
Would it not make more sense to play the keeper and defence he intends to start against France, especially if that unit contains Omobamidele who’s missed a year for Ireland?

O’Dowda squaring up the Latvian rightback and then turning back.
Shite talk
I’m not going to nitpick here. I’m going to stay resolutely behind our boys from the comfort of my couch.
Weren’t we in a play off for a major tournament when Kenny took over? Christ almighty.

Too much movement the problem now says Ray
Ok I bow to your superior knowledge. He is the 2nd coming of Gianluigi Buffon.

I find it hard to believe Matt Doherty having not played much for Atletico since he moved over there. 15 minutes on the field in total is the captain this evening. RTE’s pre match interview mostly covered his admiration for Griezmann training.
Not ideal.
This team is crying out for a 4-4-2 and a bit of structure
Nobody holding position and no shape to the side.

I watched 30 mins of this before leaving to do some work, concluding that Ireland would win 5-0 (at least).
The crowd is starting to turn on Spock

Gus Poyet is Greece coach now apparently. He did a good job at Brighton back in the day. We’ll struggle to break even against them.
