Whereas the lead to Denmark was disappointing, there are nonetheless positives to take from the sport. Denmark deserved to win, and they’re a degree above the place Northern Eire at present are.
However it’s the place Michael O’Neill needs his crew to be, and it was one other good studying expertise for his younger squad.
Defensively, significantly within the first half, they had been superb towards a powerful and inventive assault however they’ll need to enhance going ahead. They wanted to be extra courageous on the ball. They made an excellent begin with the objective however did not actually threaten after scoring, and I am positive that may have disenchanted Michael.
In that regard, I believe Iceland within the excellent recreation to comply with it up on Tuesday. As the house crew, the onus is on you to take it to the opposition and play with the vitality and want to win the sport. The gang will play a task in that too, and we all know how vital Windsor Park will be.
I do know Michael likes to play with a again three, however I believe he’ll set the crew up a little bit bit totally different to get his key gamers on the ball to attempt to make one thing occur.
Iceland received a incredible lead to Scotland however they don’t seem to be of the identical calibre as Denmark. They’re most likely in and round the place Northern Eire are and that presents a possibility to be extra of a objective risk.
