Wasting our best squad on some Mancunian no hope, absolute joke from the FAW
So poor defensively. Not done much going forward, bale should have scored but other than that Hungary have been better.
Not really sure what we are trying to do, mostly just slow possession
They looked quicker and stronger
Very easy to forget the dark days as we've had a lot of joy in recent times, but that was poor.
GIGGS OUT!!
The Welsh FA need to grow a pair and get rid of Giggs. Thank him for the work he has done bringing though the Welsh youngsters, then TARAA Giggsy!
At this rate we are going to finish 4th in the group. Pathetic performance against an average, mundane Hungary
Bar the friendly games our record under the cretin has been feckin' useless
Absolutely pathetic. What is James Lawrence doing anywhere near the team? He's atrocious. Giggs clueless tactically. Get rid.
Powder puff up front. Shambolic at the back. Sad to see Bale looking so poor. We have lost the ability to grind out a result. No complaints. We didn’t look like scoring in a month of Sunday’s and always looked vulnerable at the back. Please no more of James Lawrence.
Spot on there!Quote:

Let's not single out Lawrence, not one player particularly impressed me.
Seconded. How are we that bad at the back?Quote:

We've gone from being solid at the back, lacking goals to still lacking goals, but conceding for fun too. The shape is all wrong, the front 4 look like they've got no idea what they're doing and Allen is left with trying to knit it all together. Reminds me of Trollope's City, decent players with absolutely no idea what they're supposed to be doing.
He has cost us crucial goals in successive games. He doesn’t start regularly in a weak top flight. Why is he playing?Quote:

The game was there for the taking. Bale fluffed his lines, but defensively all wrong. It's horrendous that so much of our possession is with the defence. We're relying on them to tick the ball over and pick a pass into midfield. All the whole heaping pressure on a centre back pairing that simply does not work. Lawrence looked all at sea and we all know Williams is passed his best.
Bale looks like a man who is playing without confidence. Brooks looked unfit and struggling to put a stamp on the game. Only bright spark was via James who looked a threat throughout.
Got to hope now that we have a fully fit squad available for Sep, Oct and Nov to stand any chance of figuring in the top 2 picture.
In Giggs defence he doesn’t have a world class Gareth Bale. Coleman was very fortunate in that respect. Hungary beating Croatia has done us no favours.
Can anybody tell me what the system is? I’m at a loss after the 2 games. Our midfield have been static when receiving the ball and were pressing but not getting many decisive challenges in that turned possession in our favour. It feels a little like Paul Trollope at Cardiff to me in that I spend all game scratching my head.
The only game that worries me is Slovakia away, all the others are very winnableQuote:

Based on the last 2 performances, can you seriously see us winning 4 including Croatia?Quote:

Have a decent manager in O Neil unlike us:frown:Quote:

we need to go to a 3.5.2 system, put Ampudu at the middle of the 3 defenders. Smith and Allen in midfield, James and Brooks on the wings, Ramsey no 10 with Bale and Lawrence up front. Our midfield hasnt worked in either game.
Whether it be Ramsey or not, we need a classical number ten type to knit things together - we have so much attacking talent coming through, but, for now at least, they are all individualists and so they're almost working against each other, rather than as a unit.Quote:

Thats it.
That's another qualifying competition down the pan.
Is Bale going to improve when he's playing for Real Madrid U-23's next season. He's obviously only interested in the money not his football career.
Does anybody else think we are more organised when Ampadu is on the pitch telling everybody what to do? Even though he was lacking fitness and carrying an injury, it was like watching two different teams when he wasn't involved.
We were more organised because he's a better player than Smith, especially defensively.Quote:
