    Re: Ryan Giggs

    We lost narrowly to Denmark who are a better team and then we lost a friendly. This is Wales. What is everyone expecting?

    The result was narrow, the performances less than it seemed. It was close as our squad is better than theirs, its just that fact we don't have a clue about breaking teams down

    You honestly think the Welsh Squad is better than Denmark?

    Touch and go. There's not a massive difference, I'm more concerned with the manner of the defeat. It was pretty abject. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46147506

    Man for man, there's obviously stand outs and they have more depth but they play to a plan. I can't work out what Giggs is trying to do, except keep the ball for a bit.

    Two draws against Denmark which a more experienced, "street wise" manager would have got us. A win over a poor Albanian team, and a far less 'Bobby Gould style' defeat against Spain!

    Giggs is always going to be an easy target for his off the field issues and fact he prioritised man United over Wales.

    Especially with United being the most hated team.

    Albania game was disappointing but it was just a team thrown together in what was a pretty much a pointless game. There was enough good players to show what they can do and they didn't.

    Denmark we didn't deserve to lose and missed some easy chances. I know Denmark are not a big name but they drew with finalists Croatia in the world cup and winners France.

    The away game was disappointing but we certainly weren't favourites.

    International football you can only work with players you have and based on that you certainly have to play the system he is if want to get as many of the better players in.

    People say to go with vokes but he is trying to play with a fluid front 3 not a target man.
    People are putting a lot of their hopes on Ampadu who was superb v ireland but disappointing against Denmark away and lost his man and head in the home game.
    I didn't want Giggs to be manager but I can certainly see what he's trying to do.

    The losses against uruguay and Mexico are quite good considering players had available and the opposition.

    Playing a conentional striker in Roberts/Vokes limits the fluidity of the front three

    Personally I'd like to see Bale up front with Ramsey in the number 10 role with Brooks wide right and one of Wilson/Lawrence/James/Woodburn etc on the other side (Personally lean towards Wilson) with them swapping roles with Bale a the game dictates. Something similar to what we saw in the first game against Ireland

    Hennessey

    Roberts Mepham Chester Davies

    Ampadu Allen

    Brooks Ramsey Wilson/Lawrence

    Bale
