    A bit harsh, he's one of those players thats hard to like. I remember the time he was sent off against arsenal years ago and blowing kisses to the crowd.... :)

    Pretty funny!

    the annoying thing is that they'd both be unreal players if they just made better decisions. They can both skin players with little or no effort, they both have cracking shots and good crosses, they just play like boneheads when they are in good positions.

    O'Shea into midfield is a good shout. Didn't think of that.

    Yeah but does he want to be labelled as a player with an "amazing workrate"

    eg: Emile Heskey, Zinedane K, Robbie Keane, Dirk Kuyt, Niall Quinn, Croutch.

    Started so well, it clear enough that Italy can easily strike again if they get the chance. Ireland must get the ball wide quickly.

    I think it's you, Doyle always gives 110% when he play's for Ireland, it's not his fault he's constantly starved of any decent service.

    Sick of the long balls over the top. Not getting any joy out of them. Lawrence andd McGeady are doing well down the wings, if you keep giving them the ball, we're gonna get a decent cross out of em eventually.

    In central midfield we concede possesion and space pretty much all the time, every game the same thing

    Right but what Im saying is if we're going to avoid giving it the central midfielders, may as well give it to the wingers and let them have a go rather than hopeless long balls over the top.

    See, I agree and think it explains why Doyle is so starved.

    He is forced to challenge 3 players for a long ball, or come really deep and take it wide to win a set-piece.

    No his fault - I think he does amazing work given our setup.

    Should have kept doing what we did from the whistle, we were getting great luck up the right side but Lawrence looks run off his feet at this stage, McGeady didnt look too happy when half time was blown, threw his arms up a bit, he is desperate for the ball. Too bad his crossing is rubbish.

    This "system" of Traps is crying out for a taller striker in the vain of Cillian Sheridan

    Unlucky. A bit more power on the header for a shot, or a bit more direction for a pass and that could have been a goal.
