Paddy McNair has advised his Northern Ireland team-mates to maintain believing following their hopes took a hit Monday’s 2-0 home defeat to 31, they can qualify for Euro 2020.
A lively performance at Windsor Park wasn’t enough to prevent Michael O’Neill’s side because Serge Gnabry second and Marcel Halstenberg’s remarkable attack demonstrated the falling their first stages of the effort
difference.
The effect watched Germany move top of Group C together with Northern Ireland to 12 points.
But the job gets for the Green and White Army, with the Netherlands up following and a trip to Frankfurt to emerge in November.
“Of course we’d have obtained this position at the start of the campaign,” McNair said. “We have three really tough games to come and now we go to Holland in another game.
“Then we have them in the home and Germany off, but we are not likely to become disheartened.
“We’ll give all of them a tough game. There are plenty of advantages and we proceed to next month.”
A frustrated O’Neill called the match a”missed opportunity” in the immediate aftermath, given the possibilities Northern Ireland created, adding two openings such as Conor Washington, through a strong start to the nighttime.
“It’s really little margins in the game, but I thought we had been fantastic in the first halfof” McNair added. “It’s definitely a huge improvement. In the second halfof Stuart [Dallas] took a yard wide which may easily go the other side of this post that makes it a different game again.”
When McNair tumbled from Toni Kroos northern Ireland might have had the chance to level in the penalty spot just, however, their allure were waved by referee Daniel Orsato.
“I haven’t seen the punishment episode again, but that I certainly felt a little contact,” said McNair. “There wasn’t much contact, but I went down. I didn’t need to be in a situation where the ref thought it was a dive and sent me off [to get a second
Booking ], but I didn’t want him to think there was no touch because it was felt by me.
“It was not much, but that I know why the referee didn’t give it. There was contact, however, I have no doubt about that. Maybe VAR could have cleared up that.”
Dallas fired broad afterwards, until issues settled at stoppage time but that was the last opportunity for the hosts.
“it is a fantastic sign coming from a game believing we certainly have to have taken something out of it,” McNair added. “It is definitely our best performance against them in recent meetings, but you can not help but believe it was a missed chance.
“But we are still joint top of the team. I understand we have three hard games coming up, but we must keep positive considering the place we have put ourselves ”
