Speechless Stephen Kenny has demanded a response from his Ireland team after their humbling defeat to Armenia.
And he's targeting upcoming clashes with Ukraine and Scotland to prove they're better than that.
Kenny had set his team the target of winning their Nations League group but it couldn't have gotten off to a worse start.
Armenia, ranked 92 in the world, won 1-0 in Yerevan thanks to Eduard Spertsyan's strike.
It's another setback for Ireland who had looked to be on the comeback under Kenny following a dismal World Cup qualifying campaign.
And he's hoping to use their home clashes with Ukraine and Scotland - who they face next Saturday - to bounce back.
Speaking after the game, he said: "I accept criticism of that. We didn't unlock the door more and create more clear cut chances.
"It was a tight game really overall, not a game that we deserved to lose on the balance of play and chances but we've lost it and only have ourselves to blame.
"We are disappointed. I felt in the last 20-25 minutes of the first half we were really in control but we didn't start the second half like that at all. We were susceptible to counter attacks, and found it difficult to break them down.
"We had most of the chances in the game but just couldn't make it work. They scored from a position that is not even a half chance, we've got punished.
"We've made life difficult for ourselves but rather than focusing on that, we've got to focus on bouncing back on Wednesday.
"We've got two home games now, we need to dust ourselves down. We're disappointed with ourselves, we know it's a poor result, we're well aware of that."
