Darren Randolph has defended the Republic of Ireland's kind of drama as they struggle for a third consecutive trip to the Championship finals. The Middlesbrough goalkeeper has conceded two goals in his nation's five Group D matches to date with Denmark's Pierre Emile Hojbjerg and Switzerland's Fabian Schar the players to find a way. The Republic have taken 11 points to lead the pack but Randolph knows the side must be resilient with trips to Dublin in November to come ahead of the Danes' trip to Georgia and Switzerland. "There will be times in every game when you're likely to have to shield and you're likely to have everyone behind the ball," Randolph said. "You have seen us in matches previously, we've defended for 10 minutes or whole areas of the match. It is part of football. "Clearly you don't want to be camped on the border of the box for the entire game and just inviting the strain, but it is needed occasionally and I think we have shown we are more than capable of doing it when required. "But we have shown already we're out to strike and cause problems when we can and take it to other groups." The Republic's approach has drawn criticism with Korean keeper Yann Sommer ignoring it as"very unpleasant" in the run-up to Thursday evening's 1-1 draw in the Aviva Stadium. Have scored more than 1 goal in a game only once throughout the effort - Robbie Brady's injury time strike secured a 2-0 triumph at Dublin in June over Gibraltar. The last time that they achieved that feat in a fixture came on the street in Moldova. Read more: such as sportslivestream-tv.com
