I agree with you, Paul. I was directly behind the goal where Ireland scored so it's hard for me to assess him properly and I had no decent view of the Czech goal. However from close proximity to him in the first half he was sturggling with Koller in the air (as would most to be fair) and on the ground. He got to grips with the game as it went on and made an excellent interception at one point. I'm hopefully he can develop into a good partner for Dunne but I'm not sure if he's the second coming of Paul McGrath.
