Ireland have to start creating more - O'Neill

Martin O'Neill admits Republic of Ireland must create more after playing out a bore draw at home to Denmark in the Nations League.

The Danes had won 5-1 in Dublin in last year's World Cup play-offs but, with Christian Eriksen absent, both sides looked to be lacking a cutting edge as they battled to a point.

Ireland boss O'Neill was content with how the game played out and praised the hosts' work with the ball, yet he acknowledged their failure to trouble Kasper Schmeichel, who enjoyed a quiet night in the visiting goal.

"Early on, I thought we allowed Denmark too much possession," O'Neill told Sky Sports.
