Unfortunately Republic of Ireland are suffering from the FAI years of corruption. They’re now skint and Kenny is what they’ve ended up with. He was never going to be good enough. If he goes, it’ll be someone else of the same ilk I’m afraid.
Reading these comments I think people are being a bit disrespectful to Albania. Genuinely no mugs.
Should we win the next 2 games then we are in a strong position. A loss away to Poland would still leave us a point clear of them. Just need to beat Hungary away as remaining matches will be mere formalities.
We've not won a major tournament in 55 years playing defensively. Cannot see France or Portugal playing 2 DMs vs Albania!
Good thing Albania were in France’s group for Euro 2020 qualifying... Last game of qualifying in November 2019, France played with three centre backs and two holding midfielders.

They played their B-team though I suppose.
My main issue with us playing two defensive midfielders is that we're just so boring to watch. Lots of possession football 30 yards out from goal with little end product. It's boring.

It's weird as we played some really decent quick, attacking football during the Nations League but seem to have gone backwards since and are playing more defensively against lower ranked teams than the good teams in the NL.

He's defensively minded We can't and won't beat the top teams set up like this.

No need for both vs Albania
We need to impart our game on them
He's more of an all rounder
Henderson comes in when fit
Then Rashford, Grealish, Sancho....
Decisions decisions!
Its Albania, would it kill Southgate to try and play entertaining football with an extra attacking player?

Thats exactly how you beat us.
Slow, turgid football.
No one stepping up from midfield.
We'll ignore how average and boring we look, then act shocked as we get knocked out early in a major tournament.
It's the same cycle England go on every single tournament other than 2018.
