Sammie Szmodics says it will take time for Ireland’s players to gel under Heimir Hallgrímsson.
Paul Fennessy reports from the Aviva Stadium SAMMIE SZMODICS has suggested it will take time for Ireland to gel under new boss Heimir Hallgrímsson following today’s 2-0 defeat by England .
“But in the second half, we got after them and we got up the pitch more. We started to win first and second balls; we forced them to go long a lot more. Advertisement Szmodics, who was making his competitive debut, admitted his culpability for Jack Grealish’s goal. “I think I should have done better,” he said of this rare chance. “It was a cutback pass. I like going into the box and then, coming back out to the cutback area. The least I should have done was hit the target. A player of my quality should hit the target.”
Ireland don’t have much time to put things right as they have another big game at home to Greece on Tuesday.
