I can't remember when last Wales had so much talent available. The youngsters are only going to get better, it's just a pity Bale, Ramsey and Allen aren't a couple of years younger!

They all have a good few years left in them for Wales and I think the mixture of youth and experience is just right.
Scintillating performance tonight by the old and new.
I don't think I've ever seen Wales play better.
All three have still got another World Cup campaign left in them though. We still have Woodburn, Wilson and Danny Ward as young players coming through so it’s really positive.Quote:

Tonight was a masterclass. That first half was the best I've ever seen from a Welsh team.
And what a goal from youngster Connor Roberts!
Not forgotten, just a bit of a journey back.Quote:

I hate the fact that Bale, Ramsey and Allen's last potential world cup is that shitty corrupt one in qatarQuote:

Even without the performance that would be a huge plus so definitely a brilliant night all round.
If it's any consolation they're all probably corruptQuote:

Centre backs- Ash Mepham and Chester but we have 3 fullback who can play there and Ampadu plus hopefully Poole will develop
Midfield the 3 who played today plus Smith king ledley and huws
Attacking we only really have vokes and Bale who could play as in a central role maybe Lawrence but have lots of options if play as a 3 with brooks Wilson and woodburn
Keepers - Hennessey, Ward, Maxwell, Davies,Quote:

Centre midfield - Ramsey, Allen, Ampadu, Ledley, King, Smith, Evans, Huws, J Williams, Poole
Wingers - Lawrence, Wilson, Brooks, Woodburn, G Edwards, James, Watkins, Bodin, Hedges, Thomas, Harris
Forwards - Bale, Vokes, Roberts, Bradshaw, Doidge + a host of the wingers who can also play centrally
The future is bright and there will be many more names to come I'm sure.
It was the best performance since we beat Norway 4-1, when Speed got us playing a certain way.Quote:

Mepham adds an option in central defence and Dummet an option at left back. I thought Connor Roberts looked exceptional last night, which improved the right back situation with Gunter now as back up.
We would be still be weakend without Bale, Ramsey or Allen playing but what international side wouldnt.
