Aston Villa midfielder Conor Hourihane was a part of the Republic of Ireland side that drew 0-0 with Georgia on Saturday afternoon.

ROI had seven shots and 46% of the ball during the Euro 2020 qualifier but were unable to secure what would have been a huge three points.

Mick McCarthy’s side remain top of Group D with 12 points, although their spot at the summit is far from secure at this stage of the campaign.

It would be fair to say that a number of Ireland fans were disappointed with what they saw from their country on the afternoon.

The Boys in Green remain unbeaten as they attempt to qualify for next summer’s finals, but it was a lacklustre performance on Saturday.

And a number of the ROI supporters were especially disappointed with what they saw from Hourihane, who has scored four times in seven appearances for Villa in the early stages of the 2019-20 campaign.

Hourihane and Hendrick were simply awful too….

That entire midfield is abysmal. Hourihane was atrocious, Hendrick’s use of the ball is terrible. Whelan just doesn’t offer enough at the base of the midfield. McClean is absolutely useless on the ball and Robinson cannot play on the right. Better suited cutting in off the left.

Absolutely woeful. Hendrick, McClean, hourihane all awful. Don’t know why Collins wasnt taken off at half time, Connolly did more in 10 mins than he did the whole game. Have to win on Tuesday. https://t.co/PgYJmQAEHV

None of Whelan, Hendrick or Hourihane should be starting never mind together in a midfield 3. Painfully limited players

Credit to Hourihane, he is pushing Whelan hard for worst player on the pitch. You have to admire his determination. #COYBIG

I like Hourihane but he has been awful today. Overhit every free kick and corner too long #COYBIG #GEOIRL
