None of the current players would have been involved. The Danes are a fairly cocky bunch, would love to see them underestimate Georgia. This Swiss will be too clever for slip ups like that I fear.

Agreed, I think the Swiss will take close to full points (dropping points to us in Dublin and Basel ) Sommer is a quality keeper Akanji, Schar,Elvedi are all very good defenders comfortable on the ball Left back they have Ricardo Rodriquez Mbabu at right back is a great talent (Why Newcastle let him go i'll never know), not sure if Lichtsteiner is still about but if he is he's a very good attacking option have defense. In midfield Xhaka is a tough tackling but again capable on the ball midfielder Zakaria like wise is a real talent Zuber is no slouch Shaqiri on his day can be World Class Embolo has pace to burn Seferovic can be hot or cold but is very capable of nicking a goal with the right service

I'm aware of that. My point is that they are no better now than they were back then. The way some people are talking you'd swear the Danes and Swiss are far too professional to slip up in Tbilisi. Far from it as history suggests. We need to rid ourselves of this defeatist attitude and instead be the one's who clinically dispatch Georgia. Lets not be one's looking for favours.

The Swiss are massively overrated. They have a nack for catching good teams at bad times, I remember they beat Brazil a few years back in a friendly and jumped into the top 15 in the rankings and have been punching down ever since. Caught Portugal on the first match day of 2018 qualifiers too.

After losing to Qatar a few days earlier. They'll take points off Denmark because they love playing big teams, and drop points to Georgia

That Qatar result, in a completely meaningless game, is exactly why I think we will batter them home and away.

Look, I'm not going to get ahead of myself. As Irish fans we always believe but we are 3rd for a reason.
Denmark and Switzerland won't be worried about us. The Norths performance will give us hope and us against Denmark in Copenhagen for the 1st leg of the playoff. Yes we didn't create but they were piss poor also. Destroyed in Dublin to be fair but that's another story. I'm hoping Mick can nullify Eriksen and we can actually create something. MON couldn't figure it out but we need to win our home matches. We seemed to play with fear at the Aviva and that hindered us. Maybe the lads were terrified as they had no prep and no tactics. We have the easiest start possible and we should have at least 9 points and a few games under out belts before we play the best team in the group. Luck has defo played its part. Aim for 3rd - expectation Get 2nd - bonus ground Just want to see us play better and have an identity as I have said previously. Go for it at home and have more than 5 passes in a row. |

What's the point in aiming for 3rd?
We are a home nation. It's imperative that we do everything possible to finish in the top 2. |

Exactly. Denmark and Switzerland have shown they are very competent 2nd tier European teams, and we are well crap. Those recent games against Denmark, they didn't seem to bothered competing. I'm just hoping Mick can make us play a lot better than the 10 years of pain we have been served. And he has a year to get ready for a play off Nations League game
