If Keogh, McShane or even O'Shea had a string of really poor, basic defensive howlers like he has I think the knives would be out a lot more.
Costly mistakes too, okay the Dutch one was a friendly but it prevented us from winning the match, the France game, the Moldova goal and last night. Quite a list in what, six or seven starts? If it was Egan I suspect we'd be saying he's either not ready or maybe even not cut out for international football.
Highly speculative I know and maybe a tad harsh because he's had very good games too.
