Josh played.

Two former Clarets also started (O'Shea and Collins).

Times must be desperate for them if Dara is getting game time (shudder).

The morning after the night before .
Shocking performance it really was , so open at the back , hard to say anything positive really . No World Cup again and looking for a new manager in November I would say .The only thing I can say just lucky I wasn't there as were so close to travelling then pulled out .......

Cullen, O’Shea, and Collins - players I’d rely on in any game - looked like they’d never played before in their lives.

So weird.

The starting has been on the wall for Ireland for some years. Surprised the management were backed and not booted.

Biggest issue they have is they have no attacking threat. No real quality on the wings or up top. Ferguson just doesn't look as good as his hype to me but might be their only hope.

Genuinely think Dyche would sort them out.

With the limited contact time they get, i don't see it. They need to settle on a system that suits the players they have, and make it work. Sadly, until eligible players choose Ireland over England, they will struggle. Imagine Rice, Grealish, etc in that XI and it would be a different prospect

Fair point that.
