Two much needed powerhouses in midfield, massive test today......
By the look of it not.....looking terrible
You problem we got is the players who replaced them are nowhere near as good as them pair, not even close.
Amazingly out of the 4 top players we have, 2 are always missing it seems, we won't qualify from this group unless we have all four.Quote:

I'd add Hennessy to the list and Ben Davies for that matterQuote:

Yes such a top player he's operating in the championship :shrug:Quote:

Huws, Lawrence and Johnny Williams need to be playing regular for their clubs as they look better players than King or Edwards at international level.
Ramsey and Allen are the two key components you can never be without , they are the engine room , you might get away without Bale .
Strange how Bale is deemed world class, which I think he is, but Rambo was our best player in the euros yet he's not world class. Does he need a £50 million move to Barca to be it??Quote:
