Oh dear.

Panthro

well fook it.

GTR63

A ball as nice as Zlatan's hair.

Mars Bar

Two centre halves gone AWOL.

happyoutscan

F*** off Whelan.

jamesbere

Oh God

Tinie

Forde shouldnt have been beaten that easily at his near post, and defending was dreadful.

JONJO THE MISER

All over now.

PhlegmyMoses

Poor from Forde. hought he was poor enough earlier as well. Defence isn't playing as a unit either.

aramush

Glenn Whelan needs to have a word with himself and burn his passport.

ctrl-alt-delete

Whelan kept up with him just enough to play him onside.

Time to take Whelan off and go attacking.

jimjamcos

FFS...Whealan had the mobility of a bingo bus!

Turtyturd

Keeper shouldn't be beaten there.

Red Crow

Two poor CB's and Whelan's a passenger. Yet I still feel as if we've been the better side

TheMilkyPirate

V.Poor from Whelan and Forde

Mars Bar

In fairness to Whelan, he broke his balls to get back there when our centre backs got pulled out further than our full backs.

swoody

bring on greene.......... :rolleyes: :pac:

edgecutter

Whelan is poor it aint funny anymore.

Agreed. Wish Given was still up for it.

Zlatan has found so much time and space in between the lines. Practically the whole second half it's been Ireland hoofing and hoping and at this level, against a player as brilliant as Ibrahimovic, you will be found out and these stone age tactics are being found out.

Talib Fiasco

Whelan is a terrible player. Can't fault him completely for the goal but in general he doesn't cut it.

Mr.Nice Guy

Central midfield has been poor tonight. Need to pull something out of the bag here.

Don't think Ibrahimovic has been anything to write home about.....

I think it needs to be pulled off the bench first.

Not where its mattered though. Any time Sweden have a bit of room in midfield theres plenty of space to plays balls into, we haven't a clue if we get it in there.

O'Shea's and Dunne's days are well gone IMO. Simply just the 'experience' factor now.

Erm... he created the two goals.

bizmark

remember when we were a force at home ? ah those good old pre trap days

Lennonist

Put Hoolahan on, don't just sit there.

antodeco

Any decent stream? Over in the US at the minute

Doesn't matter, he's been decisive. Against the cannon fodder you can get away with Trapatonni's football but against real quality, proper quality like Ibra, there's no getting away from the facts.

Corholio

He hasn't. With holes like we've left out there tonight it hasn't take much at all to create chances.

Duff

Prediction - First sub will be around the 85th minute..

SirDelboy18

Great tactics on display here. Long ball, and if that fails, nothing.

NIMAN

Ireland are playing hoofball, and that doesnt cut it at international level any more.

I think its time to forget about Brazil, Sweden are the most likely to score next.

grohlisagod

Get Brady on please. For set pieces if nothing else.

And if he had have been able to create those other two that he did for Larsson for himself it would be game over.

He has been excellent for me.

SirDelboy18

That is ****ing shocking. No reason to hit it long from your central midfielder on the half way line. **** me.

NIMAN

Why no subs yet? We are useless and creating nothing.

The ten years we went without reaching a major tournament, you mean?

Funny how the mind plays tricks.

fangee

Don't know what you are looking at.

Ibra is strolling around controlling the game. He can't believe how poor the opposition are.

He's been selfless for a change. Dropped off and created lots of chances for others.

klose

Awaits sammon coming on...

Only in comparison to what's been on show.

wtf ref coleman was tripped

He has still had a big hand on both goals and will be even more dangerous from now till end of game with our lads tiring,time for Hookahan and Brady if Trap has any interest in at least a draw.

Shut up you i perfere to pretend we where good at some point

Tinie

Get either brady or Holohan on ASAP.

All he needs is a split second to change a game though, unlike any of our players.

swoody

oh sweat jesus cox is coming on

First was a Lustig assist, no?

Secondly, how about we take it as a given that I have watched the match and understand the basics of what has gone on to not have to have it pointed out to me.

I still think he has been poor when on the ball, by his own standards.
