Shay Given: Arguably could have done better for the goal and didn’t have much of note to do otherwise. 5

Robbie Brady: A stray pass indicated nerves early on, and gave the ball away for Poland’s goal. His set pieces were also below par more often than not. 5

Marc Wilson: Could have been stronger for the goal, and made a few overly exuberant tackles. 5

John O’Shea: Turned his back for the goal and gave away the odd cheap free kick but looked solid otherwise. 6

Seamus Coleman: Offered a threat down the right flank at times, but final product could have been better. 6

Aiden McGeady: Unlucky with chipped effort that went just wide in the first half, but generally didn’t influence the game as he might have hoped and was subbed after 67 minutes. 5

Glenn Whelan: Made a few good interceptions but never really imposed himself on the game and was taken off late on. 5

James McCarthy: Didn’t do much wrong, and looked relatively assured in possession, but was quiet enough again. 6

Jon Walters: Proved a useful out ball in an Ireland attack short on physicality, but didn’t have enough of an impact to regularly worry the Poles. 6

Wes Hoolahan: Livelier than many of his teammates and played one particularly excellent through ball to Coleman, but his influence dwindled to an extent as the game wore on. 6

Robbie Keane: Looked ineffectual in the lone forward role and — except for one header that the keeper got down well to save — rarely had opportunities to add to his phenomenal goalscoring tally at international level. 5

Subs

James McClean: Offered more of a threat than McGeady and provided extra energy when he came on. 7

Shane Long: Scarcely had time to influence the game, but did well for the goal. 7

Manager

Martin O’Neill: Tactical tweaks invariably failed to yield dividends and his selection gambles didn’t pay off in most cases, but his subs made a difference. 6
