Ireland - Cyprus (3 Viewers)

[Jerry Twig]

i dont think we played well
we were missing players that cost us big time
s reid and finnan would have made a massive difference

but its three points
i think thats a great win
we couldnt beat anyone decent when it counted for a long time

I'm all for the optimism and everything is falling sweet for Ireland, but 3 points isn't always a great win. Remember San Marino?
Cyprus are not decent. Georgia away was a result. More of that please.

By the way - is the match definitely in Rome? Not Lecce or some shit?

S Reid out for the season now apparently. There's been a lot of talk about 'the system' i.e. 2 def midfielders. I think the Cyprus game proved that, apart from S. Reid, we have no quality def midfielders. If he's out for this length of time then a change of tact may be what's needed. I can't see Trap changing his mind though. 3-5-2, srsly!

Specious argument, that would apply equally to Cyprus.
