    The first sign I'll take of leadership in that team, is when I see a player tell him eff off back to left back
    did you not see him hit the top corner of the goal from a free kick

    That's a shocking mistake from Collins. Very little positive to take from that first half. We look soft.

    Ferguson isn't anything at the moment. I spent the last 10 minutes of the half watching him and Pohjanpalo in comparison with each other.

    It reminded me of something Aaron Connelly said in his interview earlier. "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard".

    We found a little step up since the goal, but you'd be very worried if we didn't. We still don't look like all that much of a threat. We could lose this 2-0, easy. Might salvage it, might not, but any loss and Hallgrimmsson is under huge pressure already.

    Do you think that's about his confidence, fitness, or tactical instructions?

    Probably had a perfectly good goal ruled out by the replays at half time….

    RTE panel mentioned reports from journos online that the team went off to boos from the Irish fans at half time.

    There was an example there where Sammy Szmodics ran past him to close the ball down. That can hardly be tactical instructions.

    A centre forward who's in form and scoring goals can get away with anything. A centre forward who's struggling in front of goal needs to be seen to be running his nuts off. That's the bare minimum and he's not doing it.

    Parrott is scoring goals. To me this is fairly simple.

    We seem to have lost control of the game since those substitutions.

    We've been comfortably better this half, but Finland haven't exactly set a high bar to clear there.

    Ferguson and Azaz were the right pair to sub off.

    More subs... Interesting he's not made any changes in midfield. Happy with what he's seeing?

    Delighted for Scales. One of the very, very few Irish players who's career is on the rise.
    I'm struggling to think of a worse choice for Irish captain in my lifetime than braindead Collins - He shouldn't even be in the team let alone captaining it
    I know Ferguson is only turning 20 but he'd want to get his finger out of his hole or he'll find himself playing league 1/ league 2 english football in no time at all.
    Bradys only use is as a set piece taker but this isn't gridiron he's playing!
    Can still win this as the finnish look fairly woeful

    Brady!

    He's gotten a lot of criticism here. I haven't really understood it today.
