Shhhh. Not allowed to say that.

It's a cagey game of massive consequence. What were you expecting?

The ability to pass the ball to each other at pace.

Roberts - shite
Bale - unfit
Ramsey - unfit
Ampadu - shite
Wilson - annonymous
Williams - shite

Bale and Ramsey are passengers.

Re: Friday: WALES v IRAN. Match thread, ko 10am

Iran should be ahead....more dangerous in front of goal...better passing. Bale and Ramsey anonymous, crossing awful, defence very panicky.
....and Gabbidon commentating is soporific.

You win word of the day

I'd be happy to have a Mare here but
Connor Roberts offers nothing. He's a liability.

I'd switch Ben Davies to left back, Williams to right back.
Bring on Allen for Wilson and Johnson for Roberts.

We give the ball away too easily but that's not helped by players having poor close control. Also trying to pick passes that just aren't there. Only once has Rodon got on the right side of their attackers.

We should do better in the 2nd half. Playing with the sun in your eyes in 30+ degrees heat ain't fun.

Re: Friday: WALES v IRAN. Match thread, ko 10am

Really poor, not even sure why we are trying to do

Re: Friday: WALES v IRAN. Match thread, ko 10am

8 interceptions by Iran in the first half. 4 from Ampadu. Get Allen on.

Re: Friday: WALES v IRAN. Match thread, ko 10am

We lose possession 87 times first half it’s like watching City in disguise. Normally good technical players losing the ball so easily, very frustrating.

At the risk of being controversial and not following the narrative, it is feckin hot out there and with a bit of luck, our boys are keeping a bit in the tank.

HUGE 45 minutes to come

We're playing with 9 men.
