Anyway , one good performance and result on Tuesday and we are in good shape again. We usually react to a bad game with a good one in double-headers . More of that Tuesday please

You have proven my point with your post . The midfielders should absolutely get up to support . They didn't . Do you honestly think the manager told them not to support the forwards ? |

This is the point where Glenn Whelan needs to be dropped, I've been in the camp of Whelan supporters for awhile now but after last night I've looked back and realised that we have been sh*te and awful to watch in almost every game he has started in the midfield (Bosnia at home would be the exception) yet when he is dropped and we play McCarthy or Meyler in his position we suddenly look a lot more threatening and up for the match, I can say with without any doubt at all that if Whelan starts on Tuesday we will not win and tbh we will be lucky to keep our unbeaten run intact which imo is irrelevant as right now we are in win or bust territory.

Hoolihan has to get at least a half hour as well. Brady should have been hooked for him.

The amount of lads on the rag here after
an unsurprising result against a team that generally plays well against better teams. I think first place is gone and would take a playoff now tbh which still wouldn't be a bad return for a 4th seed team. We're a limited team and results like this shouldn't be completely unexpected. Hopefully we'll batter Serbia's goal on Tuesday but can't see anything more than a draw. |

Yesterday was a carbon copy of Serbia away, and I put that result down to the players, this one however has to land at O Neills door.
Setting up to bypass the midfield in 30degree heat and against a side who showed they can play a bit while in Dublin and other games was simply wrong. 90 passes completed against Serbia in Belgrade. 150 passes completed against Georgia in Tbilisi, that's no fluke, no freak accident. Our players have proved at club level the can knock it around, but I think 4 consecutive passes completed was our best yesterday. And it's all down to tactics and set up. People don't like reading it or hearing it but we've been sh*te most of this campaign and somehow we are still in second place in the group, a group we could've easily won with a better manager, set up & game plan. People using this to have a go at Glen Whelan are f**king clowns, likewise people amazed at how many of our players are in bad form for the national side aren't much better. It's no coincidence lads, it's been like that for a while Edited by 9fingers - 03 Sep 2017 at 10:31am |

Pretty much called it after 15-20 mins but somehow it made that performance look decent.

Would agree with most of this but we've basically been playing this type of football under our last two managers. They must see in training that the players we have can't play poessesion football. |

Maguire is Irish, and he was born in Luton: http://www.the42.ie/liverpool-fan-thrown-into-dressing-room-andy-carroll-2507001-Dec2015/ If his parents had stayed in England until he was 18, instead of moving back to Ireland, would that make him English or Irish? All this blame the foreigners talk is embarrassing. Read a history book if you want to understand why we have so many players born outside Ireland. Edited by DeclanDaly - 03 Sep 2017 at 11:31am |

You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive:
I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995" |

We kicked off the start of the 2nd half. Now you would think given a verbal tonguelashing at half time the message would be to hold onto the ball better. No. Straight from the kick off in the 2nd half we played a 50 yard long ball up to Long and the ball was lost. Top top football on show.

So we are basically the only side in UEFA outside of the 6th seeds who can only do long ball and nothing else... how realistic does that sound? Against Italy & France we didn't play long ball and look how we played.

After sleeping on it last night its mad to think that despite the awful performance did we not have the best chances? I dont really remember Randolph making save after save despite the possession stats. We had McCleans header, Longs header and McGeadys chance. That is the only positive I can take. Georgia were shooting from long range for the most part or swinging crosses in from 40 yards out.

Walters coming back from an offside position but Shane Long was definitely onside- Shane Lonnggggggg.... has done it!!!!

All well and good but what on earth was stopping them being fired up yesterday?
We are only capable of playing well when we dig ourselves a hole either within a game or on the back of a poor performance. Says a lot about the attitude of the manager who has them playing like they are in a straight jacket for almost every game despite talking too much I am not a football snob and find teams passing the ball in circles going nowhere utterly boring but we are not even playing good direct football. |
