It might sound counter intuitive but it's really important for Kenny to work really hard on set pieces. With Brady and Hourihane to deliver and the likes of Duffy, Egan and Doherty to attack them, that is by far Ireland's best chance of a goal.
The better football is all well and good but you also need to play to your strengths. How much better would some of Ireland's performances have seemed if they'd won 1-0 with one going in off Duffy's arse than a 0-0 draw or a 1-0 loss.
When you are looking for a dramatic change in how a team plays it is vital to get everyone on board. That's hard to do when you're losing games and can't score a goal.
