Not a great day for the Irish players in the PL yesterday.
Coleman had a tough day against Arnautovic by all accounts, hopefully not a sign of things to come for our WC qualifiers. He should have won a penalty though after being fouled by Pieters. James McCarthy's groin injury flared up again so he only lasted 26 minutes, although he did provide an assist for Lukaku in that time. They seem to be missing him big time, the amount of goals they're conceding is ridiculous. Cleverley replaced him, Gibson an unused sub. Whelan played the full ninety, Walters just the last twelve and Wilson didn't make it off the bench.
Clark had another rocky outing at Carrow Road, he gave the ball away in the lead up to the first goal with a weak header. Richards and co were even worse after that though. He had another shaky moment in the second half when he got caught in possession but he did make an excellent, if completely desperate, recovery tackle. Neither himself or, particularly, Richardson covered themselves in glory for the second goal, which was nicely assisted by Hoolahan with an accurate cross. Villa really are a collective shambles, has there been a worse PL team since Derby's record breaking season? Brady played the ninety, didn't feature that heavily in the highlights. Big win for Norwich, twenty points at the half way stage would be bang on target you'd imagine.
Long seemed to play very well in the first half against West Ham, had a lovely assist and Southampton really should have been out of sight by half time.
Arter started and O'Kane came on after an hour at The Emirates.
Stephen Ward started his first league game of the season, Paddy Madden made his 100th start for Scunthorpe, and Jeff Hendrick scored his 25th goal for Derby in the last round up of 2015: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog...30929276068943

I'll have the December appearance stats and the 2015/16 appearance data to date posted in the next day or two
Four goals from Alan Judge and Adam Rooney meant they were the top scoring Irish players in December, read more in the compiled appearance stats for December: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog...41903050944598
Robbie Keane's 19 goals since July 1st makes him the top scorer so far in 2015/16, but not the top penalty scorer. More in the round up for the season to date: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog...69906754337113
Ease the pain of the return to work with our first round up of 2016, including Jay O'Shea's fifth goal of the season in his 150th appearance for Chesterfield, and Darragh Lenihan's first league appearance of 2015/16: http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Blog...73620797710022

Been on the bench recently from what I've seen, but did manage a goal at the weekend.

I find it a bit irritating that this guy is still listed and profiled on the FAI website. How hard can it be to keep it reasonably up to date - one of our Mods would even do a better job!
Long, Walters & McClean all on the score sheet in the PL this evening.
