24 per cent possession in first half. That's a winning recipe for sure
Speaking of recipes, the only thing that could explain this is a bout of food poisoning through the Irish teamQuote:

From what I've been hearing about our inability to hold possession, I went and checked the Wiki page for their stadium and my suspicions were confirmed, we're playing on artificial turf and just as against Mexico, we haven't adapted at all
Think Whelan hit the nail in the head about the space for the Georgian's. Front 3 trying to press but the two defensive mids are sitting on top of a back 4 that are barely moving outside our 18 yard box.
If it settles into this pattern again with us on the backfoot, it'll be very difficult to lift us out of that. Half-time was the perfect opportunity to effect a change and start exerting more pressure on Georgia.
This is Serbia away bad.
Truly awful stuff
We've not even tried to play it around on the ground though. We've just been lumping it. It almost seems instinctive.Quote:

corner!
That's an odd substitution too.
well done mcclean, brady put him in trouble
Is it 4-4-2 now with Brady and whelan in the middle? *looks like McLean might have pushed inside.
Much better in last ten minutes. Georgian midfield have switched off big time.
Georgia seem to be tiring. Their intensity has definitely dropped.
Is that McClean suspended now?
Idiotic
Have we now no centre-mids?
How's this working?
James and Brady CM. can't be any worse than Whelan and Arter
Georgia tired now.
If we keep swinging balls into their box we might nick one.
Must have been all that running around with the ball.Quote:
