We barely beat Gibraltar and only two players fail to get pass marks?

Randolph 8- Great save which kept us from going behind and with how we were playing it was a big save.

Coleman 5- Needs to do much more in a green shirt. 

Duffy 4- Poor game and missed a few half decent chances

Keogh 5- Not much to do but still didn't fully convince.

Stevens 5- Tried to get forward though needs more composure.

Doherty 4- Didn't work out for me. Didn't look comfortable and gave the ball away a lot.

Hourihane 6- Probably our best outfield player. Kept the ball nicely without offering much penetration really.

Hendrick 5- Well taken goal but still capable of much more.

McClean 3- His worst game in a long time in an Irish shirt. Gave so many silly fouls away and offered nothing.

McGoldrick 5- Looked ok at times but lacks pace and can be a bit wayward with passing.

Maguire 3- Offered nothing. Will need to do far better to have any chance of a permenent role in the team.

Subs

Brady 4- Out of position again but still was poor enough. Had a few good positions to do something but chose the wrong option.

Arter 4- At least tried to get on the ball and move it but wasn't great. Still think he should start against Georgia. 
Walters coming back from an offside position but Shane Long was definitely onside- Shane Lonnggggggg.... has done it!!!!

There is a serious lack of leaders alright. There was a lot of lads looking around for a leader,  none taking the responsibility themselves. I know I have said it before, but it is truer now than ever before, we are badly lacking a midfielder with confidence and responsibility. They don't even have to have much ability, although it would help!  The two lads today didn't even try to impose themselves on Gibraltar. That is criminal and why I find some of the posts saying they did ok as baffling. A proper midfield today and we win the game easily, it may not have been a hammering or a stroll, but there would have been very few nervy moments,. 
If you have a midfielder who constantly  looks for the ball, Duffy and Keogh  don't launch it as much, or, if they do , they get an earful for it. In the first half, a half where Hourihane and Hendrick are being absolved of any blame by some on here, nobody came and put their foot on the ball and started stringing a few short passes together to get some momentum in the game and show which team is superior.  Whelan, for all his limitations and all the wailing and gnashing of teeth about him still being in the squad, would have provided that. I just hope he was just being rested for Tuesday.
I also think that Egan should get the nod ahead of Keogh. In games where we are the favourites, you can't have two central defenders whose first thought is to aimlessly punt the ball. Egan seems to be the better in this regard.

McCarthy does have to take some blame too. There seemed to be a deliberate tactic of trying to put the ball into the corners for Maguire to chase. I would be unable to understand the logic of that on a  grass pitch, on a surface with very little traction it was bonkers. The changes made little sense either, I am sure there was some logic to them, it just wasn't apparent to me. If he was keeping Whelan for Tuesday, he should have brought Arter on at half-time,  as poor as I think he is, to try and introduce a bit of drive into the midfield. It really felt like we played ninety minutes without a midfield structure, which is one of the main reasons we all got so fed up of MON...

It was Micks fault. should have changed formation. And playera. egan and Long are better on the ball than keogh and duffy. Play a back 3. Play mcclean as a left forward. Play maguire there as well. ....he was defeated tactically by their uruguayan coach.

Just admit it, you have a bit of a man crush on Jeff.....is it the boy band hair and prison tattoos? You seem to be the only one that sees a footballer there when to everyone else he just looks like an impostor

Jaysis, that is a new level of embarrassing from you. Are you that insecure in your opinions that you have to insinuate those who disagree with you are gay? Most people stop doing that around the age of 10...
The term 'man-crush' doesn't imply homosexuality, nothing from that post did.

A save that could well have saved us from our worst result in history if they'd gone ahead. Stevens 1/10. Actually thought the Coleman Doherty combination wasn't nearly as bad as what was going on around them. McCarthy should have left them persist with it. McGoldrick at least attempted to get on the ball a few times and show some composure. 2/10. Maguire 1/10 for a lovely ball to Coleman that nearly ended in a lovely goal. Still think Maguire is massive for us for the next few years, by far our best finisher. Keogh 2/10 for a good block. Brady 1/10. Arter 1/10.
