It's a good option to have Benteke to aim for, but I hope we don't revert to direct balls toooo much.

Poorish start, sloppy really and giving away a lot of chances.
We do seem to grow into games under Lambert though...

I'm getting a bit uncertain about kea. I don't think he protects the space in front of the back four, and he's struggling with the pace of games a bit I think.

I really wish we'd try and get it down a bit. We're trying to go too direct. I expected to be more impressed. Hopefully we can get some more composure

I don't think Lambert has told them to knock it high, its just an easy option when you're on the pitch from a players point of view.

More composure guys and we'll tonk these.

Am I being overly harsh, or is Ireland's distribution a tad disappointing lately?

Not sure Vlaar has earned the Concrete tag just yet. He certainly isn't that dominant in the air.
Martin Laursen he aint... yet...

They could just as easily say the same about us.
