    Hoolahan defensive?

    McClean there as per the end of Saturday seems more likely.

    I'm...not convinced. Seems a bit unbalanced

    I imagine it'll be more like the following:

    Randolph
    Christie - Duffy - Clark - Ward
    Meyler
    Hoolahan - Brady
    Walters - Long - McClean

    Vladimir Stojković starts in goals for Serbia. Unfortunately, the hapless Predrag Rajković misses out.

    Hadn't realised Serbia are actually favourites to get a win tonight with the bookies. I'd assumed a draw might have been most likely outcome with the bookies. William Hill, for example, have Serbia at 8/5 to win, with Ireland at 2/1 to win and a draw at 19/10. Paddy Power have them at 13/8 to win with the odds of us winning or a draw both at 2/1.

  7. Thanks From:

    Anyone got a link to a decent stream?
    I'm outside of Ireland.
    The one I'm looking at is terrible.
    Thanks.

    Much better tonight. Really good start. We're pressing and using the ball a lot better when we have it. The difference Hoolahan makes is absolutely huge. Meyler playing well too.

    Doing well overall. Hoolahan's impact is obvious. Has an air of the Italy game to it, the way lads are flinging themselves around. If Christie could cross the ball we'd be set.

    You could see something like that happening when Serbia finally got on the ball. Clinical strike.

    Looking like more long ball since the goal. Nothing doing yet. Heads are dropping.

    Every time the ball drops to them outside the box, they just smack it without looking and blaze it wide.

    We could have not qualified playing football as opposed to the **** we've played.

    Really good in the first half, and the more likely team to score right until the moment they did score. After that they went very defensive and we just struggled to break them down or create real chances.

    I wouldn't be too critical really. They are experienced and were composed when they needed to be.

    The only thing that I thought should have been better as some of the decision-making in the last 5 or 10 minutes. Too many hopeful shots when we should have kept it, and two full backs who were reluctant to just get crosses into the box from good positions, but instead wanted to go back into the midfield or back up the line, and we ended up sending in worse crosses.

    And as always, we look so much better, more attacking, more composed, with Hoolahan in the team. So much better that it's hard to believe he doesn't play whenever he is able to.
