John O’Shea frustrated as Slovakia show up defensive deficiencies

John O’Shea admitted Ireland will have to improve their defensive discipline at the Euros following last night’s draw against Slovakia.

Although the 2-2 draw came in a friendly, and Martin O’Neill had injected some experimentation into this side, Ireland’s inability to retain a lead left the vice-captain annoyed.

“You’re disappointed to concede at any time but just before half time was very frustrating,” he said of Paul McShane’s own-goal approaching the break.
