Both teams will get 3 to 4 good chances in the second half and I hope we take one of ours. Happy enough with that first half performance. Everyone doing their jobs with just a few shaky moments.
surely needed an inswinger from that side as well?
Maybe it's my nerves but they look to be more dangerous with the ball in front of our goal.
Otherwise no complaints, as good as ANY Irish team performance away from home against a good team.
Best first 45 since Paris for me. First 20 was outstanding. Robbie's dropping deep has been really effective, has allowed McCarthy and Green to press high as soon as the Swedes cross half-way. That aligned with Wilson and Coleman roaming forward has been great.Quote:

It's been refreshingly good at times.
Cue second half disaster.
Should have let Coleman take it but it's the wrong side for him I guess but his delivery is usually pretty good.
Some of McClean's deliverys leave a lotto be desired.
He's having a good game and his cross to the foot of Keane was inch perfect.Quote:

Danger might be we sit back and settle for a draw, I don't think that will work.
Lustig looked like he pulled up about 20 minutes in, shortly after he'd clattered McClean for the third time. Bit disappointed he's gone to be honest.
OMG - Green can't find a pass.
It's strange watching another team at international level lump it as much as us!
More than us!
Need to get some fresh legs on.
Ha ha good luck out pacing Coleman!!
Sammon and Hoolahan to come on as per TO'D
Just need Long to get in behind the back 4. Could sneak this. COME ON
Good decision Hools on, keaen has not been good recently
Long messed up there
