O’Shea’s first game in charge finished all square.
Gavin Cooney reports from the Aviva Stadium IRELAND’S INTERIM BOSS John O’Shea admitted to a level of frustration after Ireland’s goalless draw at home to Belgium.
“If we take those chances when they arrive in the game, it would open up Belgium in the game and we could exploit it even more. Frustrating one in that sense: you’re playing Belgium in Dublin, you’d take a clean sheet but a little bit disappointed in the end too.” Advertisement “He will be ready to go as soon as we need him to. He will have another spell five or six years down the line with a couple of months without a goal, it happens to top strikers. As soon as he gets on the goal trail he will back on a run.”” A more or less boring game, low rhythm, many difficulties to build up game, slow passes, no sharpness”, he replied when asked to assess the game, comparing it to an end-of-season summer friendly.
