"I was glad it was a back three because I'm sick of the chopping and changing between the systems," Andrews said on Virgin Media Sport. "I think John Egan is someone should be in and around it. He's a player I like. He plays very well for Sheffield United. Lenihan came in and between them this was their sixth cap. It's very, very difficult to come in and if I use one of Seamus' [Coleman] comments of 'making the angles', making life easier for yourself'. "Shane Duffy is at the heart of the back three, John Egan to the left hand side, Darragh Lenihan to the right. "Northern Ireland put a bit of pressure on and can [Lenihan] drop into the area to receive possession, no he can't, and the distribution is not quite there. Seamus Coleman is in too high of a position.Former Ireland manager Brian Kerr praised goalkeeper Darren Randolph as Ireland's best player but lamented that Ireland were outplayed in all aspects.https://twitter.com/VMSportIE/status/1063516894391607298 "Coleman is on the ball and the options are not quite there because the front two haven't worked together. "Eventually he checks back out because Seamus is a good player he has the ability to do that. Jeff Hendrick recycles possession and as it comes across to the left-hand side it's slow, it's pedestrian, there's no real plan of how we're getting from A to B. "Again, can Seamus drop to make that angle easier for Darragh Lenihan? Our midfield three are all pedestrian and not running beyond to work that midfield of Northern Ireland and really disrupt to it and make the passing option either."
"Our goalkeeper was our best player in the match, but there wasn't one other performance you could take much solace from," he said.
"The midfield - they rarely had the ball and they never strung three or four passes together, we were outplayed everywhere on the pitch," he said.
