In his first match, Republic of Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson acknowledged his team was 'second best by far' against England and aimed for growth after exposing weaknesses.
Hallgrimsson pointed out that the Irish defense exhibited 'individual actions instead of a collective' effort, emphasizing the need for confidence and decisiveness in defending.
He remarked on the team's lack of confidence seen in their unwillingness to shoot and cross from good positions, highlighting the need for improvement.
Despite a poor first half, Hallgrimsson noticed a more compact second half, stating that they 'got a little bit higher,' indicating a potential for future growth and improvement.
