IRELAND RATINGS

Did DARRENhis best RANDOLPHto smother danger 5 for the equaliser but the finish was too clever. CYRUS CHRISTIE 4 Broke well in second half to deliver cross for Shane Long but was easily cut open for equaliser. SHANE DUFFY 5 Rose high for his first international goal but after that he got rid of the ball as quickly as he could. CIARAN CLARK 5 Fortunate not to be penalised for role in Duffy’s goal and had a testing night ensuring Ireland held on for a draw. STEPHEN WARD 5 Was exposed on occasion as Georgia delivered dangerous crosses from his flank. JONATHAN WALTERS 5 Won his battle to be fit and was a danger early on but faded as Ireland were overrun. HARRY ARTER 4 Didn’t look comfortable on the right side of the three-man midfield and spent the evening chasing shadows. GLENN WHELAN 4 Couldn’t help stem the tide as Georgia piled forward and was as helpless as those around him. ROBBIE BRADY 4 Only seemed to play a part with set-pieces as was overrun in midfield and on back foot. JAMES McCLEAN 4 Missed a golden opportunity with his first-half header and defensively had a tough night. SHANE LONG 5 A tough night for the lone frontman SUBSTITUTES Aiden McGeady for Arter (61) – Missed a golden opportunity in injury time to make himself a hero again. 5 Daryl Murphy for Whelan (85) Not enough time to make an impact.
