    Two Daryls in the line up, a first?

    Early days, but not a fan of this formation. Certainly not with Keogh and Christie down the right. Two left footers in central midfield is cutting off supply to McClean, conversely Christie seeing lots.

    You may have a point. They're exploiting wide expanses of space in wide areas. Awful defending again there.

    Shocking the speed of that attack.

    That goal is case in point.

    Comical lack of midfield.

    O'Kane and/or Gleeson, probably both, should be playing.

    Hourihane gets thrown under the bus.

    they're the only two Daryls ever to play for Ireland, so I would imagine so

    Could be another 5-2, if we are lucky, looks lore like 5-0 at the moment.

    Poor again, runner off Hourihane, occupies 2 centre back, McClean wrong side and silly nudge. System failure.

    Fair point from Kerr asking how 3 center backs could get wiped out by a long ball.

    Ouch, this is looking painful - we look half-decent going forward (particularly Christie) but they're tearing us apart on the break

    Has O'Dowda even touched the ball yet?

    Bit silly going so attacking v Mexico, really we need a double Whelan in midfield.

    Horgan always impresses me. Looks a real player.

    He's been fouled a couple of times, one which the Mexican was carded for. One which earned a free kick in a good position.

    Goals here-

    Think we're going to score here. We might be four down by the time we do but still.

    We're all over the shop, a shame because there might be a workable 3-5-2 in the squad. But it's too much to ask players to take up a new system while most of them are playing out of position.

    Yes, can't see the reason to play Horgan and O'Dowda in those positions with O'Kane, Gleeson and Browne all more suitable. One would nearly call it stupid.

    the surface isn't looking great(not that it's affecting Mexico), is it artificial?
