Sounds like its all about a James McClean retirement party for them. Hopefully that means they ain't taking the AWs seriously. Closing down the Woodsman (who played with alot of ex Irish players at Burnley) maybe the sum total of their analysis.
GK Bazunu was Irish player of the day against Holland, so they must have been under the cosh.

Dutch (2nd, 15 pts) won 1-0, and are now through as the 2nd qualifier from the group. Play minnows Gibraltar on the rock, in their last game. Gibraltar lost 14-0 in Paris!
Greece (3rd, 12 pts) advance to qualifying play-offs via Nations League. They have the French in Athens as their last group game.
