that was his 100th appearance for Southampton as well
I'm not fussed. It's not like Kyle Lafferty or David Healy were pulling up trees at club level before their highly impressive international exploits. Yeah, it's better to be carrying proven form into a match but international football is littered with examples of players thriving without their club form matching.
It's one of those weird things that he seems to be lethal off the bench for Ireland but doesn't seem to really get in the game when he comes on for his club.
I thought all our best play against Moldova came through Long and Hoolahan, Long probably moreso.
A lad as handsome as Long shouldn't be having confidence issues.
Puel wouldn't even start him on his birthday. Better come on and score to prove him wrong (and some fantasy points).
Comes on and wins a penalty which Tadic converts. 3-0.
Excellent run to win the penalty after coming on. I thought he looked very sharp.
He should be demanding to take those penalties though, even when he's not winning them.
Tadic has missed several FFS.
That's not really his call though, is it? He could have got on the scoresheet too, two pretty decent chances, one where he missed the ball when any touch would have probably been enough, one where he got underneath a header in injury time.
Knows how to get a peno, Morgan put his hand on him anyway.
Winner at Anfield.... Bit like the Germany goal!
Great finish. Being 30 suits him.
Not too many players can say they've scored two cup winning goals at Anfield.
Lovely finish.
