Highlights from Group D as Republic of Ireland faced Georgia in the European Qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup. I watched their [Georgia] game against Austria and they could have scored before Austria scored a goal, ONeill told Sky Sports. Perhaps if they had a natural goalscorer in their side they could cause teams lots of problems.We have played them three times now in around a year-and-a-half and we have found all three matches difficult.They had the better of the first half by miles and we came into it better in the second half.We pressed them better and we gained some second balls, which we didnt get in the first half, and Seamus Coleman comes up with a wonder run and goal that befits the captain of the side.

When its not going so well, obviously you need to re-energise and we needed a spark again in the second half to get ourselves going.The players got themselves going in the second half. Obviously Im delighted with the three points [but] we can play much better than that. Seamus Coleman celebrates his goal against Georgia Goalscorer Coleman added: In the first half we werent good enough and we were lucky to go in 0-0 at half-time.Its all about three points but we know the performance wasnt good enough, but were happy to come out of it with three points.The manager just gave us a rollicking and said nowhere near good enough.We came out second half, played slightly better, scored the goal, defended better.
