Former players hit out at 'clueless' performance against Denmark, saying 'it was all over the place'

Former Republic of Ireland striker Niall Quinn questioned manager Martin O'Neill's approach after his country's dream to reach next summer's World Cup in Russia was ended following a 5-1 play-off defeat at home to Denmark.

The Republic held their opponents to a goalless draw in Copenhagen three days ago but a hat-trick from Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen inspired the Danes to a comeback win in Dublin after Shane Duffy's early opener.
