Egan and Duffy doing well, the rest poor

Hard to agree with you there, they've done ok but clearly struggling with communication between themselves and keeper. Lucky it hasn't caught them. Collins offers little up front, I think they need a change there. Georgia will probably make a burst for 1st 10 mins, weather that and then get some possession and get a goal.

Throw on Connolly and see what he can do, can't be any worse than what's on the pitch.

Have to agree, front 2 not working for us at all. Collins way out of his depth

Jack Byrne worth 20 mins too, what's out there is dreadful.

McCarthy will wait till we ho behind before being brave enough to make a call

Absolute piss. McCarthy no different than o Neill. This was the game to go after the 3 points against a mediocre team. Instead plays woeful conservative shit and loads team with donkeys like glenn Whelan and collins. Very disappointing they way they set up for this game.

That was as bad as anything under O'Neill.
I went to Tallaght the other night to watch the U21s against Italy.I honestly reckon they would have done a better job against Georgia

3 massive points for the taking and that pish is served up.

The result not that big of a surprise when you consider Georgia were only beaten 1-0 in Dublin and few chances created against them. Not the most encouraging performance with Switzerland to play on Tuesday as tonight they could barely string 3 passes together.

It's the mentality that is the issue, we didn't go out to win we went out to not lose. Cowardly by mccarthy. With the 2 teams we have left to play it's also very stupid.

+1

If that was a performance put in under O'Neill he would be slated but McCarthy gets something of a free pass from his media friends. Dire stuff to watch but I think we simply do not have the players, there is a real lack of decent midfield players and absolutely no creativity in the side either. Sadly I can't see us winning either of the last 2 games, the best we can hope for in either is yet another bore draw.
