Republic of Ireland v Georgia 12/10/19 - Switzerland 15/10/19

That was good pressure from Egan.

Coleman is really poor going forward.

Centre backs slowly passing it to each other, sometimes around 5 yards wrong side of the other and forcing him back to collect, is irking me.

I have been impressed with Egan so far. Looks a cool enough head and quicker on the ball than Keogh

Egan has played two balls across to Duffy which have been behind him.

What a trap from Whelan there. World class

Browne for Whelan asap

The Georgian fans look like great craic.

It’s needlessly conservative and just careless sometimes. Must be very frustrating for Hendrick trying to drop back to get on the ball and it’s too slow coming out to him so he’s bypassed in the end.

I took Brady for a bath at half time and said no way does Whelan stay on… The cunt is still on.

We badly need a change in midfield

Is Byrne currently the closest thiing we have to a Wessi type midfielder?

Egan and Doherty were bizarrely out of position there for a harmless ball forward that found an attacker in loads of space.

Doherty’s attitude again there.

Doherty ain’t much of a defender, the ease he was beaten at there.

A simple overlap run and the whole defence is opened :see_no_evil:

Jesus Doherty was beyond hopeless there. Even after the fuck up McClean has to chase the ball while Doherty just stands still.

Collins can’t win a header or hold the ball up. Has really been to our detriment

He’s very isolated to be fair to him, but ya his best hope seems to be to fall over and win a free

Hourihane is so passive. He collected the ball there after a dispossesion and acres of space to burst forward into, he just taps the ball off to another player and casually jogs out to wide position. There is no urgency to him.

I wouldn’t trust Ireland to win a fixed match the way they’re playing here :see_no_evil:
