Fantastic result last night but let’s not get carried away. For the majority of the match we were awful. The players looked so nervous. Anytime we won the ball we just hoofed it up the pitch giving it straight back to the Germans. Was also worrying to see players being played out of position again. I thought those days were over now that Trap’s gone. Walters as a right winger? McGeady given the free role?
Anyway role on Scotland. Should be a great game. Both sides will fancy their chances.
Also, how about the North? Michael O’Neill is doing a fantastic job. 3 wins from 3!

As long as we persist with that donkey Whelan we will always give it back to the opposition.
Wes as well needs to start, did you hear Dunphy at H/T calling O'Neill, Trappatoni with a Derry accent
Great point though and seem to have renewed that real team spirit.

Considering the beating we took off the Germans I dont blame the players for being nervous but we were shocking. The whole game was Germany attack we hoof it long and give it straight back. Surely Long should've started to give us pace on the counter.
Thankfully we lucked out but play like that against Scotland/Poland and we're fooked.

I'm worried about the Scotland games tbh. They have more technically gifted players than we have (Morrison, Maloney, Anya, Dorrans, McArthur).
We have Wes, McClean, McGeady

There's a weird stat on the UEFA website they've called "Dangerous Attacks", no idea how they work that out, but it's ever so slightly tipped in Germany's favour, 11-9. Seems to me that if you manage to keep it close in those terms, then you're playing more to your own strengths than to theirs.

Luckily your manager came to his senses and brought Jeff Hendrick on.
