Ireland I found puzzling today. He always seems to be playing within himself (which is meant to be the sign of a good player) he kept us ticking over today, in much the same way El Ahmadi did.
Only problem is, we all want / expect more from Ireland. Probably down to his high wages. If he was only on 20K a week or if he'd come through the ranks we'd be happy with his performance today.
(I can't believe i said "ONLY 20K a week!!!!...)
