    No wins in eight games, if Kerr's job is in danger, surely Givens must be on his way to the dole office now.

    Givens started Potter and O'Brien in the centre. Potter can hardly tackle and O'Brien likes to get forward. Always likely to fail. Givens has been rubbish recently.

    Did you not criticise benitez for playing potter out of position on the right? Appologies if it was someone else.

    Both similar players, Potter is an attacking minded MF. Needs a ball winner in there with him

    That defence is really weak. I'm not too surprised we conceded, but with such an attack minded midfield we really should have scored more.

    Its pretty shocking really that we have done so bad in this campaign. Coing into this campaign we were unbeaten in something like 17 games (cant remember exactly) but it has been an awful qualifying campaign. I have no idea what has happened recently but one for sure is that it doesnt bode well for our future

    I did but I don't see the point you're trying to make. Every team needs a holding midfielder these days, Givens didn't play one. I said it was a bad idea when I seen the team named before the match. Givens brought on Whelan at half time which suggests he knew it wasn't working.

    Fair play the 2,000 Irish that turned up to it.
