    why are we playing so deep? it looks like we're hoping to hold on to a 0-0.

    That’s an absolute sitter for Browne. Despite not playing well we’ve now fluffed two fantastic chances. Lacking even more cohesion with the half time change.

    We are worried about losing the ball. The wing backs should be higher but because it’s 50/50 whether we’ll play a successful pass it means the whole team are worried about a counter.

    That attempt by Browne to play Collins in sums up all that’s wrong with him as a player. Just a brutal decision and execution.

    This is hopeless. We aren't good enough for this tippy tappy stuff.

    Browne wasn't great in the middle, but he just isn't a wing back. Get Cyrus on.

    An hour in against Luxembourg at Lansdowne Road and our goalie looks on course to get the MOTM award

    This is some shocking stuff on display. No cohesion at all. Robinson just took a shot from a poor angle with Robbie Brady in acres of space at the top of the box.

    Yeah, not sure I can find any positive from this second half. Although another half chance there from good pressing. But Luxembourg are looking the better team now no question.

    Fallen out of the game now. Letting them set e pace. Just now Robinson selfishly wastes a gift of possession in Lux box. The team looks clueless, bar the keeper.

    When you hire a pub league manager, you shouldn't be surprised when they play pub league football. Who does this guy think we are, Barcelona? Tapping the ball around the middle of the park does nothing but invite the opposition to press us into making mistakes.

    The change of formation is suiting them more than us

    We’re having a little better spell now. Desperately need to take a chance if it comes. Collins nearly turning into Ronnie Whelan for a second!

    Steve Staunton had a better tactical mind for football than this clown. He puts Shane Long on about seventy-four minutes too late.

    Considering the opposition this is honestly one if the worst performances by an Irish team I've ever witnessed, and I'm old.
    I feel sorry for Bazuna making his competitive debut surrounded by dog€h1t players like these.

    The really hard thing is, I don’t think another style or manager or selection produces a lot different. It’s the same type of struggle we’ve had against lower ranked teams more or less since Robbie Keane retired. We just don’t score goals.

    But in general, yeah.

    But also this -

    Yeah, the Gibraltar games under McCarthy weren't all that different really, only we managed to win them in the end. Here it looks like we're waiting for a Luxembourg error for the win.
