Back 5. Szmodics & Ogbene to get the steps in down the flanks and Idah to chase lost causes all day #tacticsboard👀

Molumby has already left a bit on Mainoo & Grealish. Immediate sainthood

Grealish in a kind of number 8 role, overloading England’s left side with Gordon

Molumby is definitely auditioning for the bastard role for HH

Yawning gap between the two sides. England picking apart Ireland’s five at the back. No hint of link up play in the Irish ranks. Lucky it’s only 2-0 atm

Hillgrimsson suggested England would have 60 percent of the ball. Feels like 99 percent- but over 80 for sure

If you can’t beat them - kick the complete sh*te out of them. Tough watch from an Irish perspective. England so assured

Ogbene has some heart

Hanging around to coach at the Copa America seemed like a good idea at the time.

Felt sorry for Carsley. A concocted, jingoistic non-story about him not singing GSTK. People on desks seeing headlines before press conferences even start. Bullshit. I thought he was dwarfed by the issue, giving a media-trained reply. Distracted from his gr8 start with England

2 international windows lost, microwaved preparations, the new boss cramming - Ireland need a big performance v Greece. And are we kidding ourselves about formations? Hallgrimsson needs to get his lines right against Ireland’s bogey team of late - Greece irishnews.com/sport/soccer/h…

In this digital age, nothing compares to a self-contained print edition. It’s more sociable too than staring and scrolling forever #buyapaper

Playing with a back four is so much better for this Ireland team. They never quite mastered the 3-5-2. Some tidy football from the home side, a bit wasteful in front of Greece’s goal.

Maybe I've got this wrong - but one of the glowing features of modern Gaelic football is how dynamic a goalkeeper can be. Seems the FRC proposals are cutting the wings of the fly-keeper. What's wrong with the natural evolution of the game in this instance?

Heimir Hallgrimsson knows it’s a long road ahead with the Republic of Ireland irishnews.com/sport/heimir-h…
