@reptracker If we lose does Crawford go? 3 failed attempts to get us to qualify. If we don’t get a playoff spot despite being in pot 2 surely that’s a disappointing year.
@NiallWorthing67 Ok but technically these players are a lot better. Granted we should be better physically etc. I’d still argue Irelands poor results over the last 10-15 years have been mostly down to player quality over what managers have tried to achieve
@reptracker I think we need to remain calm second half. If we can keep it tight we may still come away with a point which could be crucial. It’s important to remember our record in the nations league is horrendous so away from home a draw would be a strong result.
@will_owen9 You’d know better than me. But I thought it was right to take him off after 50 didn’t think he had a massive impact. Fully expect Beirne to start against NZ and Baird to play there long term. Would love to understand what he offered that maybe I didnt see
@TomBrady Firstly it’s only 2 game weeks in so how can you think any of these games have been better than the knockout games of literally any other World Cup. Not to mention all the issues getting refs and supporters into the country. Also the waterbreaks are so annoying. One of the worst
Alan Reynolds winning a game like that when his back is against the wall gimmick
Will be back to this tweet in a months time when it all goes to shite again
@JoeNaConnacht Future planning should have started in the first game of 2024. If anything in the year before the World Cup you should be settling in your first team for the World Cup. Just feel Faz rightly or wrongly is looking to win every game and not really plan for a World Cup
@premdebrief Only fine I would have thought this would be really good. Although personally I’d drop Ederson give the 4th midfielder to an academy guy and focus on LW and LB maybe Cb too
