Low block, high block, possession, counterattack – whatever type of problem Ireland are faced with at the moment they can’t seem to come up with the solution, and our only response when the pressure is on is to knock it in there and hope Shane Duffy can stick the nut on it. Some emailers suggest reasons for our chronic failure.

Fortunately it’s not all Ireland talk today as we look around and survey this great Nations League of ours. What does Grealo have to do to get a start? How come LVG is saying Frenkie de Jong is worth €112 million? And why would the signing of Darwin Nuñez signal a change in approach from Liverpool?

 

Then… give us strength… it’s back to Ireland with Richie Sadlier and David Sneyd. Is it too soon to say… “it’s turnin’ blud”?
