Hoolahan's pass into Cox a while ago was sublime. He's done enough with that alone to be picked. :-)

Coleman keeps finding space and McClean keeps running inside. very frustrating.

And time for Andy Keogh... ********** ********* **** ***** **** **** ***** * ***** ****!!!!

That was Andrews

[paul_oshea]

Mcclean has only one foot.

[BonnieShels]

That was Andrews

What was Andrews?

[paul_oshea]

"converted into a left back, from a striker" haha

[theworm2345]

What was Andrews?

The pass to Cox

[tricky_colour]

Certainly creating chances, surely we are due a goal?

[paul_oshea]

I dont think we can beat the greeks in the air. need to play on the ground more.

[BonnieShels]

The pass to Cox

We're thinking of two different passes.

I posted a good bit after it happened.

[paul_oshea]

Mcclean is getting annoying, he is very one dimensional and cant play on the right, he is shooting cos he doesn't know what else to do with it.

Zlatan scores 4 tonight against England

[theworm2345]

This is dire stuff, almost as bad as an August friendly

[paul_oshea]

he will score 6 against us. this game is awful frustrating. we really are that bad. holohan hasn't got involved enough but i cant figure out where he is supposed to be playing.

[NeverFeltBetter]

His fourth goal was something else.

[paul_oshea]

But we are losing and we look bored and bereft of ideas. I just cant understand why we look so limp. Its like we are sent out with no gameplan and no motivation.

[paul_oshea]

we are hitting high ball after high ball and it is doing nothing. cox on about getting a good result over in germany. cant even score at home against greece with nearly 70% possession.

Why didnt mcclean hit that ball, was trap not instructing someone to come and look for the ball. it makes no sense. its awful stuff really. hitting the ball from the halfway line almost, and expecting to get something from it when we have won nothing in the air..

I think the biggest thing is there is no heart or motivation in this team at the moment.

Ibra's 4th:

Joe Hart does not cover himself in much glory, coming out of his area to head the ball clear but Zlatan Ibrahimovic, running away from the goal, launches himself into an overhead kick from fully 35 yards which loops high and into the net as Ryan Shawcross tries to get back. Stunning, stunning goal.

[dancinpants]

Ireland just look like they haven't a clue what to do.

[theworm2345]

Awful, awful stuff
