Player ratings: Sloppiness and frustration in Yerevan

The Republic of Ireland fell to a very disappointing 1-0 defeat against Armenia in Yerevan on Saturday afternoon.

Here's how we rated the Boys in Green.

Caoimhín Kelleher 6

A competitive debut for the No 2 after Gavin Bazunu was ruled out with a back injury. Tigran Barseghyan flashed an early warning with a snap shot that had to be dealt with and when the same player curled an effort into the top corner after 55 minutes the lineman's flag for offside was a welcome sight. However there was no reprieve when Eduard Spertsyan blasted a long-range shot which struck the post and went in.

Nathan Collins 7

Another one in the defence making his bow at this level having previously had a taste of friendlies. There were two sloppy moments in possession within the opening 10 minutes, one of which led to Shane Duffy picking up a booking. The manner in which he regained composure and seemed so assured on the right side of the back three bodes well. A bright spot on a poor overall showing.

Shane Duffy 5

Had be careful after that early yellow card for a lunging tackle on Barseghyan. Like so many others, a lack of match sharpness, not to mention the heat, made it hard for him to find any rhythm. One tame header from a corner easily saved but did ensure the defensive line was held when Armenia had a goal disallowed for offside.

John Egan 5

Fortunate not to get a caution for two mistimed challenges in the first-half and he was unable to set a tone for Ireland by starting sharply and taking the ball out from defence. Looked more and more unsettled as the game went on and Ireland lost control of a game which they seemed to at least have a grip on without breaking the deadlock. Flashed a later header at the back post wide.

Seamus Coleman 5

Did his best
