Why does it seem that we play with 6 CB's and then 6 forwards and have no one to recover the ball in midfield? Why does it seem that our tactic for 90% of the game was to allow Daniel James to run fast and attract fouls, but not having worked on any sort of corner or free-kick routine that will help us score? Why does it seem that we're now worse at defending and worse at attacking but with a more talented squad?

At this point we seem to be in the exact same position as we were in Coleman's final qualification group where we need to go on a long unbeaten run. Giggs has 3 months until the next game and most of that will see players on holiday or pre-season. Dear me, we're in trouble.

On the bright-side, after the next round of fixtures we could be one point off second place and still in with a chance. Fans need to show up and be a credit where players and manager doesn't seem to be able to at the moment.
You ask some pertinent questions there which go to the heart of why I'm concerned by what I've seen of Ryan Giggs' management so far - although I do think that he should be given until at least the end of this campaign before we start talking about sacking him. Where I disagree slightly is when you say it's like our last qualifying campaign because we've already lost more matches than we did in the whole of that one and given what we've seen in Croatia and Hungary, I can't see anything but another loss in Slovakia
