We had the ball for about three minutes there without a single meaningful forward pass. At least three times turned around and went for the easy option. Have to be brave. What the f**k have we to lose at this stage 
They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

The difference between the teams when in.the final third.. we look like we're from a country where creativity or guile is punishable by death.

We are losing. There is nothing to risk.


Course there is. It's a must not lose game but getting an extra forward on for defender could easily see it going 3-1 rather than 2-2 on tonights showing.

We needed to win this game to have a chance of qualifying. Especially with tonight being an utter disaster for any possible playoff.

A draw is useless. The scoreline in a defeat is meaningless. He should be going all out attack at this point. We need to win, not draw.

Have we done any opposition analysis at all? I don't see anything that we've done to try to identify Greek weaknesses and go after them. It's just the same slow passing back and over time after time.

Our midfield is atrocious. But we don't have any players coming through.

At the end of the day, if you're a home fan and you show up and watched us get a result you'd be raging.

Shocking.

That we can't say for certain until other results later in the group but it gives us more leeway that we're not depending on results going our way as much.

I have to agree with this. But with such a bad midfield how do you develop any patterns of play?

This team as it stands isn't going to the Euros, playoff or otherwise. LOL we're muck!

I don't think we need to worry too much about troubling the top 2 spots in this group. We're finishing nowhere other than fourth on this showing, even if we do somehow nick a point here.

Ten minutes too late and should have been for a CB. Also would have gotten Browne on with Obafemi for Molumby instead.

Certainly not with Stephen Kenny in charge. We have players as good as what Greece have tonight. The difference in coaching and organisation is mindblowingly staggering.

Fook a point. The Dutch will hockey us. Even a poor Dutch. I think were at a point now where this isn't going to work. We need something different.
