Was watching on RTE and Hamann was pretty scathing of him, wouldn't surprise me if he throws his hat in the ring to succeed Kenny if hes sacked. He even referred to Republic as "we" at one stage.
I also noticed that not one player in midfield can take their ball with their back to the opposition goal and turn, every pass was backwards or sideways no matter what position of the field they were in.
Yeah 100%. We have to have continuity. Even championship sides are playing passing/possession football now. We don't need a return to long ball stuff. Knowing the FAI though, we'll end up getting Dyche.
I would take Dyche he plays some nice football at times.
I would say against those two teams, probably not. Making a direct comparison with Haaland, Norway don't fare any better against the bigger nations just by sticking Haaland up top because the rest of the team, and especially defence, just doesn't have the quality. I suspect it's the same with Ireland.
I was wondering the same watching the game last night and I really dont think it would, it felt like watching Spurs the past few seasons but without any goal threat, get to the box then rather than cross it start passing it backwards, really frustrating. Agreed with Brady last night, Duffy should have been launched up top for the last 10-15 mins had nothing to lose and the Dutch weren't great, keeper was ropey as hell.
Yeah, I was behind his appointment and supported him to the end. But 6 competitive wins is just not good enough. As you said, a few decent young players, but can't see who we would bring in that's going to get us back to being even middle of Europe level.
Could've done with Kane, Rice and Grealish fs
