Watch: Damien Duff Bemoans Current Style Of Irish Football Team

The Republic of Ireland fell to a 2-0 loss against France tonight on what was, by in large, a wet and disappointing evening.

Martin O'Neill's side spent the vast majority of the game without the ball and although Martin O'Neill did hand debuts to players like Derrick Williams, Shaun Williams and Graham Burke there was an overwhelming sense of disillusionment with the continued style of play this team utilises.

Speaking on RTE tonight, former Irish international Damien Duff bemoaned Ireland's uninspiring style:

Going forward, you'd just love to see us keep the ball a bit better. A bit more composure. If we are told to hit it long then I think midfielders - Liam has touched on it in previous games - you stop making angles. If we are always looking on, you know it is bypassing you. Wingers as well, you know it is bypassing you. So, listen, I don't know what we do going forward...

Another uninspired Irish performance has the RTÉ studio panel wonder just where are the goals going to come from. #frairl #rtesoccer pic.twitter.com/2Y1Gr70vo1
