International Friendly Post Match?

Weird friendly. The World Cup is some load of bollox if Ireland goes out and beats these and Canada next week. Slight forgiving nature in me for the performance. But.......BUT these lads were poor. How are we not hammering them? Cut them open twice in the first ten minutes.

Our midfield (particularly the centre) is just so poor in a creative sense.No one seems to play a ball on the turn,not give the ball away when there's a press or just move it forward quickly.Default is to go backwards and sideways( sure you need to do that sometimes) but it's always the way Please God some midfielders with an ability to play in traffic and/or score goals will emerge.

Yah really lacking. Thinking off all the midfield battles we've lost over 10 years there. Spertsyan, Szoboszlai, Hamsik, Tadic, and even Tsimikas. All showed them qualities against us.

Yeah one above average premier league midfielder and we probably beat the Czechs I don't know-even so called poor teams look better on the ball than us.Molumby is an honest lad & great attitude but it's easy to see why Brighton moved him on a few years back.Just Limited on the ball.
