Re: FT: WALES 1 - 0 MEXICO. Match thread
As mentioned... Pointless friendly but a good result.
I'm angry that Moore played last night but didn't start against Belgium.
What's the point in playing Moore in such a pointless friendly. If he's going to be in the Welsh squad start him in competitive games, not these stupid games where he could get injured.
And what's the point in playing him last night.... We all know what he's about and he certainly doesn't need any more minutes on the pitch.
Ridiculous by Page.

Agreed. Moore should have played v Belgium and not last night. Also very risky bringing on Bale when it wasn’t needed. Moore must start v the Czechs.

I hope you were complaining when MM left him on for 25 minutes against Swansea when he was so tired he couldn't jump for the ball. Or against Stoke when he was knackered for last 20 minutes but was kept on to defend corners against a side really, really struggling in front of goal which cost City 2 points. He'll probably play more against Czechia seeing how they didn't like Lukaku so will get his game time, don't worry.
Wales didn't set the friendly but were required to play a third game by FIFA. Mexico showed really nice skills so was an interesting side to watch in a relaxed mode, Gunter got to 100 caps, Moore scored a nice goal and Smith/Matondo/Roberts/Lewitt got minutes. Decent night really.

He most probably will, but after watching a bit of the Czech game against Belgium, their goalie goes down if you blow in his ear.
I can see a WEAK REF, giving countless free kicks and eventually booking Kieffer
Yes he gotta play, but hopefully not just high balls into the box, I think Kieffer has surprised a lot of us with the ball at his feet.
As for playing/not playing against Mexico, WELSH fans for years berated Giggs for not turning up, now we got all/most players turning up, you don't want them to play. !!!! Unbelievable !

Has Chester retired from Wales if not I'm surprised he's no longer involved

We have enough injuries as it is. The last thing we need before an important game in three days time is another injury.

Nope he hasn’t. Baffled why he isn’t involved.

If you go through life with this in mind, no-body would ever play. !
Injuries, can happen at any time (ask Joe Allen), sometimes by not playing regularly, players can stiffen up.
And, Kieffer was missing loads of chances for City, before the international break, that goal will have done him the world of good.

I think bringing Bale and Conor Roberts on for the last 10 minutes was an indication of how much a win against a top ranked side meant to Page. And a boost to the team's confidence by securing a victory cannot be underestimated.
If dangerous tackles had been flying in from the opposition, I very much doubt if Bale would have been risked, even at the expense of not being able to close out the game.
