Talking points as Republic of Ireland chase back-to-back wins against GreeceBy Damian Spellman, PA, AthensThe Republic of Ireland head into Sunday night’s Nations League clash with Greece looking to build upon a maiden victory in the current edition of the competition against Finland. Here, the PA news agency takes a look at some of the talking points surrounding the game. In fielding three central defenders in his starting line-up in Helsinki, Hallgrimsson gave his rearguard flexibility. A double over Finland and Greece – 64th and 48th to Ireland’s 62nd – would represent a more significant achievement. Hallgrimsson’s side slipped to a 2-0 Nations League defeat last month with Fotis Ioannidis and Christos Tzolis this time doing the damage.
