    Molumby put in one of the great all-time shifts in midfield in that half. He’s been outstanding.

    First 10 mins of the second half crucial. Huge concentration required

    Have a day off. You clearly have no interest in watching or cheering on the team and all you want is Kenny gone. Tonights tactics are everything you called on him to do and your still not happy.

    Can’t ask for more than that. They’ve been good at picking their moments to try and break, forwards are a bit isolated as you’d expect.

    But they’ve frustrated the French so far, hopefully it can continue!

    Tbf, he seems well up for it.

    Whole team putting in a shift here.

    He is best ignored. You can just tell he is praying for a French goal.

    Have France even had a Shot on target?

    We are doing quite well. I like the way we are at least trying to attack, showing a bit of confidence.

    Still a tough 45 to go though as France are as good as it gets.

    I think the French underestimated ireland. Thumping Netherlands could have given them a slightly superior sense of confidence as that’s the second seed.

    I hope ireland can keep up the workrate and performance in the 2nd half. I was at the Latvia game last week and was really worried about this game , but so far they’ve been excellent.

    Find it hard to not completely root for every one of them. Would be amazing to get something out of this game.

    They haven't and their xG is only 0.17 though Irelands is 0.

    Of course, would be unfair of me to ignore that. Molumby was just my standout. It’s easy to try and gee up the crowd but he’s backed it up and kept a cool head. Hopefully he continues to do that.

    Hard to see the midfield doing what they’ve been doing for another half though. It was relentless.

    Egan another standout for me, and of course Ogbene.

    No, sure they must be parking the bus as well.

    Next Man City manager: You lot may all be internationals and have won all the domestic honours there are to win under Pep. But as far as I'm concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your medals and all your caps and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest **** dustbin you can find, because you've never won any of them fairly. You've done it all by bloody cheating.

    Going well so far..


    Interesting to see Kenny’s use of the bench now - based on the first half if Obafemi gets in I would like to be for Ferguson rather than Ogbene.. Also maybe Smallbone for Knight at some time.

    I know they will turn it with subs and a half time hole kick but man this has been great so far.

    Every player we have is playing at their limit and Theo, Rabiot and M'Bappe who are all prone to bad days are having them so far.

    Very happy with that first half. Excellent tactics and a fully focused and committed performance from the lads. It will be hard to keep that up for 90 minutes but there's certainly green shoots.

    I don’t know about that. His hold-up play has been good and we’ve won free kicks from it. I’m not sure Obafemi adds enough to negate that, especially when Ogbene is bound to get tired at some stage.

    That's another goal conceded by Ireland from outside the box. I think that's at least 10 in recent campaigns.

    Are commentators obliged to call it the Aviva roar? Like if he said the landsdowne roar could Aviva or FAI do anything ?

    Kelly: "Idah and Ferguson are like for like".

    No they are not. One is a teenager making a stir in the PL. The other hardly makes a splash for Norwich
