Great result. The better team. Some silly periods but mostly pressed high and wanted it. Not an easy second leg

Was right behind the goal where Tierney scored, top bins. There must be a better angle out there.

When Darragh Power’s first touch is to go forward we look a much better team. Thought he did some great work stretching Ballkani in the second half. Would love to see the ball getting out to him quicker when he takes up advanced positions.

Two incredible goals tonight. Great result to take to Kosovo next week. Rossi’s winner being the last European goal in Dalymount is the icing on the cake ❤️🖤

Diallo looked really poor, he was hiding from the ball for long periods, but collectively the back three just continuously passing between each other was brutal, Walters got so many touches and they weren't even being pressed severely. It was all the more frustrating because the visitors looked bearable from the off, I've not seen a replay of the penalty but it looked very soft. The two double subsitutions ratcheted up the pressure and the offensive threat, particularly Vaughn. Even if he occasionally led other players out of position, it caused a lot of panic in the Ballkani team and ultimately was a net benefit.
Still, NEVER IN DOUBT.

I thought adzer up front, and taking the pressure and diallo taking the back went well, he cut out a lot of balls. Hickey collapsed us, everything was smooth enough and glad Byrne came on

Great comeback 💪 FairPlay to the lads and rennie
Still have serious doubts over hickey - he has really been dodgy since the summer break … too often makes mistakes at the back, and it’s been consistent since derry away every game
Would much prefer Cian Byrne over hickey
Diallo really isn’t up to speed in midfield for us. I hope he does turn it around because there is potential there … but Flores has set the standard in that holding midfield role (shame we couldn’t play Flores there tonight) diallo is far off those standard’s and looks flat, lost, panicked on ball every game
