Such a shame that O'Neill had to go and **** the bed with his team selection. If we somehow end up in the finals it will be in spite of him, not because of him.

Really need to step it up in the second half. Wouldn't mind seeing Wes on for McClean

Wes should have started tonight.

Dunphy is preparing his Partridge-esque post-match rant.

O'Neill has to take responsibility here. Tactics are awful and we're giving the ball and space away all the time.

Corholio

Its a shame because poor defending hasn't really been all that common with Ireland in this group, but tonight theres been quite a few silly mistakes and bad decisions. Brady caught a few times and O'Shea well below par.

GLaDOS

Get an actual left back on and push Brady forward, getting roasted down our left wing.

Without Wes and Brady in midfield we struggle to keep possession.

Amirani

Very poor performance from us. Lucky to be down by 1.

gandalf

Lewandowski is a diving git and unfortunately this ref is falling for it every time. If this continues I can see a player sent off in the second half. Changes need to be made to get a result though.

Has he gone so far that hes distilling booze in his own system now

J. Marston

Whelan will be off by the 60th minute if he comes out after half-time.

Corholio

Long has the beating of the 2 centre halves as well, need to get him into the game a lot more.

One more will see us through if we don't concede again.

How the fcuk can you do your homework on a random training ground free kick

Is O'Shea incapable of marking someone without putting his arms around them?

If we don't make it tonight the playoffs will be a good buzz.

It's 0-0 now just go out and win the 2ND half 1-0 and we're through

Jesus I miss RTE ESPN has Shaka Hislop and Brian McBride chatting about the ****ing Champions League!

Look at other games and see if they've done it before.

Teach players to mark players.

Eamon: "33 year old John Waters" (covert reference to Wessie being able to play 2 games at that age I bet.. :rolleyes::rolleyes:)

If I was offered 2-1 down at half time today I'd have taken it

The platform is there now for 45 mins all at it

The three amigos are great entertainment, but not so great on the actual research

Did Dunphy speak there?

Not Martin O'Neill's fault if players don't have a clue how to defend. The frustrating thing is defenders who did so well against Germany are playing like schoolboys against a poor team. I still believe its possible though as Poland's defence is equally bad.

JustTheOne

Mcarthy has been poor too.

Nothing changes we still need 1 goal to automatic qualify. Now if only our defence would improve lol

He's 32 from what I gather. But then Dunphy doesn't care for stats.

sonic85

It was a stupid decision bringing in maclean and pushing Brady back. He had a good game against the Germans the other night and still couldnt hold down that spot on the wing. Mccarthy and hendrick are fairly anonymous and whelan adds nothing. Our entire midfield is brutal - gaps everywhere and it's putting the defence under savage pressure.

O neill has to make changes - the polish aren't great and they can be got at if we go about it the right way

A snide remark about Walters being the same age as wes

Andersonisgod

Brady's attempt at pronouncing Krychowiak should go down in football punditry folklore. A true swing and a miss.

Panthro

Giz a goal Poland.
Thats all we ask.
Ah gwan

Agent Coulson

Whelan or O'Shea are going to get sent off in this game so they might as well do it by taking out Lewandowski.

Come on though there's plenty of routines, it's was a good strike

9/10 they don't work

Poland haven't looked great at the back, but our players simply are giving the ball away too easily. McClean is getting roasted down the left wing. I would like to see Wilson on and move Brady up.

Maybe he is or not, but he hasn't shown anything tonight to prove he's a poor keeper.

Why is it Childish, a professional footballer getting paid x0,000 a week tells his international manager that he's too sore to start a game. Could he not take e pain killer?

What happens when if we get to the play off's, will Wes be only able to play one game again?

Appalling half from the referee. Not hopeful of an improvement from him in the second half. We'll be lucky to finish with 11.

Panthro

Ribery looks well dodge in that advert

We have to be just as cute as the Poles, if Lewandowski goes down our players should have a word in the ref's and Lewandowski's ear. Why not go down easily ourselves?

I don't know who you support but if its a major team would you be happy with them defending like that?

Gonna call it: 2-2 with o'Shea to get sent off...

Get McGeady or Hoolahan on, whichever is fitter
