Why do people keep spouting this crap -
Half the Irish team are championship players - McCarthy started with wing backs - changed it because it wasn't working - spent the entire game screaming at his players to pass the ball - and criticised them at the end of the game for not taking the responsibility and passing the ball around.
There are a lot of things that MCarthy could be criticised for - not having Shane Long in the squad for example - but a dinosaur he has never been.
This 100%. Ireland at the moment have some very average players. When Hendrick (a good PL player) and McLean are your stars, you’re going to struggle to qualify.
Klopp or Guardiola would struggle with the same bunch.
