At least when chasing the game gaps at the back happen. Peno miss was criminal, arrogant and showboating stuff from Oduwa (free header missed too). He really has so much to learn and could be a top player, as much for the way he faded after the miss until the 2nd peno. Fats just totallly ignored Odwua when he was looking for the ball again. It shows some character to want to step up again but the way McEleney looked to the bench before handing the ball to Shields was a bit strange. Nice move and lay off for Kelly bar putting in row Z. Some good pressure applied at times but a lack of composure with a final ball - compared to the clinical punishing of mistakes by Vienna.
Chalk it down as a learning curve, different starting line up, and that Vienna are not really a major cut above. Composure, concentration, efficiency, and that elusive element for Irish sides currently clinical finishing of chances.
