    I’d play Ampadu in midfield on Thursday, but I think he’ll be part of a back three with Rodon and Davies - think we’ll see Allen and Morrell together in what will be quite a cautious selection, but that’s me, as usual, getting more pessimistic as the kick off of a big match gets closer - Page’s recent selections have been pretty positive, so he may opt for more of the same.

      I thought Morrell was out?

        Not seen or head anything to indicate any injury problems.

          Think they’ve changed the rules and he’s no longer suspended.

            From Pompey website on 16 March:

            Joe Morrell has been called up by Wales for the latest round of international fixtures.

            The Pompey midfielder is suspended for their World Cup play-off semi-final against Austria on Thursday, March 24.

            He will, however, be available for a friendly match the following Tuesday, with the opponents yet to be confirmed.

              Fair enough, I’m sure I heard somewhere that the system regarding suspensions had been changed, I must have been wrong. That increases the chances of Ampadu playing in midfield then I reckon.

                Well, a five man midfield maybe - fair play, you’ve remained very loyal to Ampadu. If I had to guess, I think he’ll spend his career as a Premier League quality player, which will be good for Wales, but it’s going to be viewed as a disappointment bearing in mind all of the hype around five years ago.
                I still think he'll be a top class player, only 21 and over 50 top flight appearances and 31 caps for his country. If the next few months go to plan then he'll have been a crucial part of qualifying for and playing in a European Championship and World Cup at just 22. Chelsea's issues could well see him become a feature in their side next season as Christensen, Rudiger and Azpilicueta are all out of contract

                Barring something catastrophic Ampadu is probably going to break the caps record for Wales and go down as one of our greatest ever

                  I think all bookings were erased, but maybe not the suspensions?

                    That must be it.

                      I think he has struggled with some growth related issues in the past. Hope he leaves Chelsea though :-)

                        Ampadu completed 90 mins & Ramsey subbed after 83 mins.

                        Brennan Johnson up next, it will be interesting to see how he does against Liverpool.

                          Seeing James Chester midweek its not odd at all. He was seriously bad.

                            Bale didn’t even make the Real bench this evening and just landed in Cardiff airport, hopefully not injured although who knows how fit he is. Can’t see him starting Thursday tbh.

                              I think Bale will start. Not sure what the team or formation will be though.
                              I would go

                              Wayne Hennessey
                              Neco Williams
                              Joe Rodon
                              Chris Mepham
                              Ben Davies
                              Ethan Ampadu
                              Joe Allen
                              Aaron Ramsey
                              Dan James
                              Brennan Johnson
                              Gareth Bale

                              Page may play Davies at centre back as part of a back three. Will Connor Roberts or Harry Wilson start? Will Johnson start?

                                Will be a back 5 I reckon

                                Hennessey
                                C.Roberts
                                Mepham
                                Rodon
                                Davies
                                N.Williams
                                Allen
                                Ampadu
                                James
                                Ramsey
                                Bale

                                Wilson may start ahead of Bale though
