    I dunno, it looks to me like Robinson starts falling and then gets a toe-poke to the calf (not a tread as the commentary team is insisting). Ref probably thought he was looking for it after the move was going nowhere.

    We seem very slow to get numbers up in the attack.

    Knight at times dropping deep and no-one ahead of him


    Also, VAR has to disallow this surely?

    He’s more of a threat than any other forward we have.

    That was a let off. Did look offside though.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    Got away with it there, but in fairness it was both offside and the scorer fouled Knight before hitting it.

    I understand why he plays them so further because of pace but Lewandowski is as slow as a snail and keep on scoring. We need any guy who knows the 9 role

    Stevens slows everything down. Doesnt show any ambition at all. I'd honestly prefer what McClean brings to that role, flawed and all as he might be.

    It still baffles me how we continue with journeymen up front and leave out Obafemi who’s the only forward who’s actually shown he can score at a decent level. It should come as no surprise that we’ve been this wasteful when you back journeyman to get you out of dodge.

    He’ll probably get 20 minutes when we are down and devoid of any shape or idea. Should be starting and getting a decent chance to show what he can offer.

    If we're leggy now, what'll we be like in Lodz next week?

    I think it's the same problem as always - lively start, don't score, run out of ideas. I don't know what you do about it though.

    We can't keep giving Ukraine so many shots from the edge of the area

  16. Thanks From:

    It's been OK, and only OK. The first ten minutes was great, but you just knew we wouldn't be able to keep it up. Ukraine look much the better side for the last 20 or so minutes. Ireland have very few ideas when it comes to the critical final ball into the box, and the amount of offsides in that half was criminal.

    Positives: Knight is working hard, so is Hendrick. The defence looks reasonably solid, Ukraine's efforts have all been from distance. We've gotten better at getting the ball quickly from our third to the opposition third.
    Negatives: The forward line looks totally inept when they get the ball and when they are looking for it, and the balls in from the wings aren't finding anyone. That's a recurring problem that Kenny seems unable to solve. Ogbene looks wrecked and should come off soon, I've just seen him shaking his head coming off the field.

    I'd say the best we can hope for at this stage is a 0-0. How many points does Kenny need to keep his job over the next three? At least 4 right?

    That was a red my man, ditto this awful first half. Ogbene should play right wing back, Robinson as an extra midfielder or Knight there, the team seemed split in half no link man, no 10 and no number 9.

    Robinson has been good, one of the few who didn't just show for the first 10 mins and run out of gas. He's unlucky to be stuck on the side that Stevens is on, it's so slow and laboured.

    Jeff is a touch behind the Ukrainians at every turn as is Cullen. Ogbene much too raw and gives freesaway whether for offside or just silly fouls.

    Not sure yet on Collins somethings seem brilliant and then other things , simple things he's not getting.

    Theyre all about 6-7 for me thus far. The offsides are so frustrating, clearly it's a tactic but get the line and run right
    I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
    And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
    I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
    Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away

    Actually agree with that. Obafemi and Parrott needed. Scotland 2 up at HT.

    They also look really isolated. Big gaps between attack and mid. And Knight sometimes drops back deeper than mid to pick up play too

    Exactly, and thank God Collins was smart enough to cover that counter attack, because if the pass went through Christie was left behind by a run of a quick Ukrainian. Christie for me is not having a good game, Collins saved his neck a few times.
