Sums it up perfectly. I'd forgotten Dunphy's ridiculous rant for the Poland game when Wes had been ruled out with injury. He still didn't believe MON.

I know Georgia were a big physical side but it was crying out for Hoolahan to bring on thhe last 20 minutes. I understand O'Neill's logic in trying to protect a lead as he did in the Bosnia home game but I feel we invite teams on too much when we're defending a lead.

All's well that ends well but it doesn't mean O'Neill was necessarily right. We may have got a second if Hoolahan came on to exploit the gaps in the pressing Georgian defence.

Wes should be our captain take all kick out's free's corner's and peno's oh and he should be allowed to pick the team with Trap Junior as O Neil is just a lucky leprechaun

I agreed with O' Neill, hoolahan would have been lost in that game. He needs a structured midfield base to pull the strings from, like many players of his ilk, we had none that day and were struggling. Throwing him on would have helped nobody.

The man makes sense, Yes Hoolahan probably is our best technical player doesn't mean he can do it every game.

Sometimes you need to fight dirty and physically to win games we done this, Hoolahan is not a physical player.

Even though he didnt have his best game last night his part in the goal was huge. The pass from meyler came at him a little awkward but he controlled it lovely and spun round and picked out mcclean perfectly. Yes james was in loads of space but how many times have we seen players mess up passes like that. Just a lovely move and finish.

Best player in the championship
