Georgia vs Ireland, Euro 2020 qualifier, RTE2 & Sky Sports Football, 2pm

Our biggest attacking threat is Duffy which says enough really. McClean and Coleman were awful. Doherty looks like a LOI player when he's on the left.

I respect what Mick has done largely so far and I think/hope we'll still qualify which is all that counts.

I'm talking about the result and performance in Tbilisi today. There's no difference at all in the results and performances between Ireland under Mick today and Ireland under MON in his last game in charge v Georgia there. A big difference in the tone of criticism though.

Maybe Mick is more likeable? But if that's really what it all comes down to then it really reveals how vacuous and fickle some people are.

It's no wonder Delaney stayed in charge so long or that the likes of Healy Rae gets voted for in Kerry.

Obsessed.

Could you not have left with MON?

Obsessed? Obsessed about what?

You're the one that comes across obsessed noodler. I'd suggest that you drop that line pal.

Stop posting every couple of minutes about it being "Mick's fault" or his interviews.

It's transparent.

What result suits us best in the Denmark v Switzerland

We pretty much just want whichever one of them we think we can beat, to lose. Think i'd be going for a Swiss win, which (even if we lose to the Swiss ourselves) would leave us with a one-off game at home against Denmark on the last day, with a 0-0 likely enough to go through.

Were ****ed now

Mick was an experienced International manager and one who has managed for a prolonged period in a professional league...Stephen Kenny ?....

A guy who has managed in by and large amateur league, minimal knowledge and relationships with the squad, no experience of the level they ply their trade at, minimal knowledge or relationships with the management of the players clubs... zero levels of success apart from amateur football....

Not enough relevant experience... I’ll be wishing him well, cheering on him and the boys on but it’s a questionable appointment... but let’s see how it goes..

Yup Mick is an experienced International manager from years ago. Imo the game has changed.

What trophies has Mick won ? Stephen Kenny has won leagues and cup's here in Ireland (fair enough in a poor league). However, he stepped up into Europe an narrowly missed out on getting to the CL, ended up in the Europa league and didnt disgrace himself (which isn't an amateur competition) - that's a little bit of experience right there.

Mick started with Millwall and then got the Irish job, surely Mick had less "relevant" experience back then than Stephen Kenny has now surely?

We need a new direction and and someone with a new way of thinking and methods instead of managers coming in and making the players play a certain defensive way. At the moment they are being told that they are not good enough and are being directed to play a certain type of football.

If you ask me it's a shame Stephen Kenny didnt get a few years at u-21 and under to get them set up to play the way he wants then then transition them into the senior team he was ready to take the reigns.

Georgia were so much better on the ball because they were allowed to express themselves. There's no way that man for man Georgia are better technically. I believe the previous Irish managers have beat the football out of the lads.
