Re: The standout Welsh players from the weekend
I'd not seen Lawrence's goal before, so thanks for that. Hennessey was very good for Palace on Saturday and, after a few years where he was an automatic choice in the Welsh goal, he now needs displays like that to stay number one.
Very interesting to see Ramsey playing in what I think most would regard as his best position and Ozil "relegated" to a role out wide - I agree he was lacking fitness, but what good football Arsenal played in a first half where they were completely outplayed usually had him at the heart of it.
Keep the stories coming, they're interesting and enjoyable.

Re: The standout Welsh players from the weekend
I'd never heard of Matthew Smith before reading this. What do people know about him? Is he likely to be the next breakthrough talent?

He's rated highly at Manchester City and got Wilshere sent off in an Under 23 match so he has my backing already!
Anyone know how Matondo's getting on?

Thanks for reading all, appreciate the comments. I'll be posting on Wales and Cardiff every week.
You might be interested in this one that I just put out - assessing the World Cup 2018 qualification campaign with some interesting stats, as well as discussing the transition period that is about to commence in September.

Interesting reading, just wish that we would sign a few Welshmen!

Re: The standout Welsh players from the weekend
What are we going to do with all these new young players? There must be about 10 of them. It's a good thing that Giggs acknowledged the young talent, and took a bunch of them to China. It's all very exciting!

Re: The standout Welsh players from the weekend
I think most will disagree but I'm glad Dummet is reconsidering coming back. I feel like he was often left out under Coleman to inferior players and I imagine after taking so much time away it probably did get infuriating.

Dummett never does anything eye catching, but he has been a regular starter for a team that has either been in the Premier League or winning the Championship for a good few seasons now and I don't believe Wales are good enough to do without someone with a CV like that - I could see a future from him in the Wales team as one of three centrebacks.

Yeah I think so as well. Would allow Davies to strengthen us at left wing back as Taylor seems to be on a decline.
However I'm not certain if Giggs will stick with 5 at the back.

He is not flashy but is solid enough to hold down a place under Benitez, that has to say something.
Though I do fear that if he doesn’t get game time (which could be likely), will he throw his toys out again and retire early.
If I’m honest, I’d prefer to see Mepham start in a three over Dummett. Davies is obviously first choice on the left. The only way I can see him playing is with injury/suspension.

Although he will, hopefully, be good for the 2020 Euros, Chester is not getting any younger and there is an argument which says that Davies could be a very effective left wing back for Wales.

Will we play with wingbacks, now that we have Woodburn, Brooks, Bale and Wilson available up front? I can see us playing a flat back four, but I may be wrong.

My thinking is the same as yours, can't see us playing with 5 at the back with so many attacking options.

That's why Ampadu is an interesting option, cos you could theoretically change to a back 3 on the fly if he was playing as a defensive midfielder.

Actually our front 6 is becoming very versatile, almost interchangable.
I like your photo, but what's going on with those socks?
