    Blessed there. FFS.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Can't fault O'Shea for the bad pitch, but yes, we have burned through all our luck on that one.

    Jaysus, big let off there

    This is far more first half of Hungary/entire of Luxembourg than second half of Hungary

    Ogbene offers a threat when he can get running with the ball but he can't cross a ball and his second touch is often a tackle.

    Pitch this pitch that, every side has to play the pitch they are on. The flat first 45 is just baffling. You can see theyre trying so its not application, its composure, fear and its an old old issue now. We're more likely to put a win worthy performance against Portugal than put the pot 4 side away....

    Looking through the options on the bench and no solution is jumping out. We need to start breaking up the play and winning free kicks. It's way too easy for them at the moment

    I've said this in recent times. I think long-ball football is redundant in this day and age, but if it's going to be the tactic - then it has to be all-in chaos football, and I'll be ok with that. It cannot be half-in, half-out and picking a team trying to do both; pick both Ferguson and Idah and launch it to them appropriately and compress the pitch. Their chance came from Cheap Ball Cullen just pumping a ball 60 yds to nothing and it coming straight back with us off-guard. It's ****ing frustrating.

    Well this is gone bad to worse. Must have been 15 long throws in the two games so far. Don’t think we’ve even had a half chance off one. Pure crap and a waste of time and effort.

    He didn't get a touch on the ball. He brought the man down. It's a penalty.

    Yeah, I think so

    And Kingdom's post about all-in or not is spot on.

    This is ****e so far

    We're in major trouble here. Not sure what the answer is; we just don't have the players.
