Roles of Adam Idah, Will Smallbone and Matt Doherty in England’s opener highlight need to be more proactive.
David Sneyd THE REVIEW OF Saturday’s defeat to England would not have been an enjoyable experience for the Republic of Ireland players, not least Adam Idah , Will Smallbone and Matt Doherty .
Hallgrímsson responded by saying that he expected them to arrive to Dublin on the back of winning Euro 2024, and that it would also provide early clarity on what he needed to work on. Advertisement Understandably, given his own post-match comments about still leaning on assistant John O’Shea and coach Paddy McCarthy, focus has been on just how much influence and control Hallgrímsson has over decision-making.England’s first goal was dissected by the Ireland manager, and his staff, with the manager’s message clear. In the immediate aftermath of Saturday’s game, Hallgrímsson gave his initial reaction and reasoning for the manner of the defeat.
Even worse, Alexander-Arnold’s first touch is actually towards his own goal rather than opening the space out straight away. The hesitancy of Idah and Smallbone means he can take an extra couple of seconds to look forward, pick out his pass and aim for the run of Anthony Gordon.
