Yeah I feel the same. Chance to bury Wales hopes and us to take a massive step to Russia and we blew it. McGeady should gave come on with minimum of 30mins left to play imo. Only the last 10 to 15 mins did we look threatening.

I don't agree about us being cautious or negative. We just hadn't got the creativity or guile to create clearcut chances, we were a bit workmanlike with a few key players missing. I thought Wales defended well too.
As someone said further up, these British type matches tend to bring out the worst in us and we never play good football in them (we had 0-0 draws with NI and England at the Aviva as well in 2015).

At the end of the first half with the tackles from whelan and long you could see the welsh players getting more aggravated. It was obvious they were going to come out after half time with some tough challenges after the ref letting the irish players away. I thought it would be Long who would get clattered by one of the welsh back three. While its good to see a ref let the game flow if he starts letting elbows go unpunished the opposition will react with stronger challenges and unfortunately its has ended up with a broken leg. Im not excusing Taylor but I was not 100% shocked to see a bad challenge come in from a welsh player in the second half
Would say a draw was fair result as we created nothing but neither did wales bar 2 long shots from bale. Edited by Doyler1993 - 25 Mar 2017 at 2:45am |

Overall a draw was fair enough. We are very limited without Wes or Robbie....can't argue with effort or commitment. Thought Whelan had a decent game. As for the Welsh fans...embarrassing How English they are pouncing around in their stone island and retro casual gear. Simpletons....

Wales and Austria going into the meat grinder soon but I can certainly tell you that if it comes down to ourselves or Serbia, Serbia will be finishing ahead of us most likely. Sorry but its de truth.

Can't even think about the result. Gutted for Coleman.

Actually thought I could hear fake cockney accents for some of the chants... They booed Coleman coming off too. |

Home now.....i think that when keano said we were 'mistaken' if we thought we were gonna play for the draw, it was him that was mistaken. From minute 1 to 90 we set about nullifying them. and we did. and it was relatively easy. but we created f**k all. i dunno, i presume a result such as this may prove valuable. but we were at home. i know they had a sort of last chance saloon feel to it, and its good they made no ground on us tonight, but the lack of ambition we showed was seriously disappointing. This group is there to be won. Serbia are terrible at the back and we have a 4 point advantage on the other incredibly ordinary teams.

also i think Whelan had a solid game the whole night one o his best on the green shirt as for Mcclean and Walters was very positive but he is in between being a right winger and an attacker...and he is none sometimes

I don't think we played for a draw though. It's just that we were struggling to be creative or gain any sort of a foothold in the game. Wales had a lot of possession in the first half and looked comfortable on the ball. I'm not sure we were good enough to win that match to be honest (and Wales didn't do enough to win it either, a draw was a very fair result).

We clearly played for the draw. And selected the team accordingly. The tactic was: defend deep in our own half, let them come at us, and hope to hit them on the break or with a set-piece. For example, there were countless times when Wales got the ball that we retreated into our own half and left all three of their defenders completely unmarked and unrushed. So our 10 outfield players could mark the remaining 7 Welsh players. That was a pre-determined plan and was the definition of going for a draw. Furthermore, in Meyler and Whelan we played two centre-mids who generally make zero forward passes in a game (including this one). Offensively, you can carry one player like that, but not two. When Meyler went off, Hendrick showed he could do all the same defensive-mid work, albeit he is clearly a better all-round player. Having started Hendrick in the holding role with Whelan and had, say McGeady, in the more advanced role, would have been a far better set-up and one that would have given us some creativity. Also, why the fook is Whelan taking set-pieces?!??! His looping, slow deliveries are more like hospital passes than attacking crosses. Thought he had a very good game second half btw. But don't let him near a dead-ball again. We can't get Brady back soon enough. Thoughts with Coleman. What a thoroughly decent guy. Great leader and example to his team-mates as well as kids watching Ireland. Hate thinking about what happened. |

The tactic was nullify them and don't commit too much going forward. I think that is ok when it was 11 vs. 11 and wales were having the better of the game.
However, as soon as it went to 11 vs 10 mcgeady should have come on. I would have also thrown on Horgan for last 10. Mcgeady coming on for last 10 and not using another attaching sub was a mistake. He will probably point to the Bale chance as an example of what can happen if you go too attacking but that was all down to a silly mistake |

Best post on here Up to the Coleman incident we were absolutely terrible. We never looked like scoring. Wales were relying on Bale to score but I think he had a better chance than our whole team. The last 20 mins a different game. Wales had everybody behind the ball. If we play like that first 70 mins against Austria /Serbia etc we won't win. Huge improvement needed. We have 4 tough games left and we need to win at least 2 of them. We need to play with more freedom and confidence. Maybe the better ball players in Wes and Arter will bring that but the teams need to be set up to win from the very first minute. |
