Invisible first-half, but he was alright in the second. Some decent touches and he actively looked for the ball a few times too.

Didn't do much in the first, but he was good in the second. Anyone who can't see his value is clearly blind, he's easily the most comfortable central midfielder we have on the ball, a good first touch and quick movement to get himself away from pressure. When he used those qualities and then moved the ball on quickly in the second half he did well.

I think me and you are the only 2 who see what Jeff is capable off. A little bit off in the 1st half but half the time he was the furthest forward chasing down defenders. Much better in the 2nd half. Jeff is a good player.

I wish he was invisible in the first half. He was poor and gave the ball away a few times. Simple enough passes.

Thought his confidence was shot and it would be better if he was dropped but he was really impressive in the second half. Excellent control of the ball under pressure. 

Hendrick is an enigma of a player and the most frustrating. He'll be starting against Slovakia (assuming Wales win) and probably deserves to based on his second half performance.

Had a few people after the game say he played bad. I thought for first hour he was one of our Better players, he showed for the ball and move it about. He maybe faded but i would definitely not put it in the boom of bad Jeff Hendrick performances

Was surprised to see him stay on ahead of Hourihane but he did ok in the second after a brutal first

Reading over some of the drivel written above I am beginning to wonder was I actually at a different game than some people last night.

Honestly baffling comments re Hendricks performance. I counted in the first half 5 times he literally gave the ball away to opposition. Bear in mind we didnt really get any real territory and struggled to keep ball in the first half . Jeff Hendrick was the single reason we struggled in the first half, nobody else gave the ball away more than him. I actually wonder does his hair get in the way of his eyes at times, he was in capable of finding his own team mate . 

I think he has been massively found out this campaign, only for the fact we have little options in that area of the field he wouldn't be playing. Come to think of it I am struggling to remember the last time he played a good game for club or country since euro 2016. Fair play to him he had a good euros back then and got a premier league move and a nice contract but his days of being a regular starter for Ireland should be gone. I never want to see him in an Ireland shirt again. Browne showed promise and composure last night, molumby, Coventry, Kilkenny. These lads should all be in ahead of this pretender .

I said it during the match, Hendrick was doomed to be criticised as soon as he misplaced his first pass, that's enough for many to define his whole performance by. He actually played very well in the 2nd half.

 For what it's worth, I though all of our midfielders had at least a sizeable period where they did well. They all get flak, but at the same time they all showed they have more about them than they're typically allowed to show in an Ireland set up.

Agree 100% with this

At half time I thought he had to come off because he was woeful in the first half, it felt like he was deliberately staying out of positions to pick up the ball and was not on the same wave length as anyone else in the team. 

Second half I thought he was much improved and one of our better players, looked to be getting into better positions, kept the ball in tighter spaces and was involved in a few moves down the right and through the centre, if he was to play like that the whole time it would be a no brainer starting him in the team. 

Himself and Hourihane don't work particularly well together though and I think one of them needs to be dropped.

Said the exact same thing to my mate.
He was running into positions where he knew the pass was never on.
Either he's making runs that are above the standard of passing range that our players have or he simply doesn't want the ball.

I was thinking at half time that he genuinely doesn't want the ball. It's hard to pinpoint what or when it changed with Jeff, but many games for us he seems to do this where he takes up positions that he can't receive the ball or impact the game. I feel like his confidence is shot playing for Ireland and he doesn't want to be the player to try something and make a mistake, but then in fairness to him in the second half he was much better and was much more involved.

It's a weird one with Jeff, he has been very poor for us for about 2 years now but I feel like it is a mental or tactical thing. In terms of ability and his physical attributes he is not a bad player.

He’s just so inconsistent. Looked like a different player in the second half compared to the first. I personally think he shouldn’t be first choice anymore, maybe he would be more effective off the bench
