It’s now 11 defeats in Ireland’s last 13 competitive fixtures, and Hallgrímsson has shaken things up both in terms of squad selection and the training schedule for the game in Helsinki, as he looks to pull them out of their “downward spiral”.
Among the new additions in the squad are Ipswich Town midfielder Jack Taylor, Luton Town defender Mark McGuinness, Middlesbrough playmaker Finn Azaz, and West Bromwich Albion winger Mikey Johnston.
The trip to face fellow Group B2 strugglers Finland surely represents the new manager’s best chance to turn things around.
The Fins are bottom of the table on goal difference after being beaten 3-0 by Greece and 2-0 by England a month ago.
