Just not good enough, can't cope with Croatia's pace in possession, which is killing us. Croatia haven't even got out of 2nd gear, they're committing one man into an advanced position from midfield when attacking or going all traditional and using width. Piece of ****ing piss for them!

Arguably our two best players are missing and how many of the selected team are starting for their clubs every week? Ampadu and maybe Morrell - can’t think of anyone else who is. I think we’ve got to be realistic about our team, I’m just hoping for a win on Tuesday.

Croatia are playing a different sport from us.
Reminds me of the world cup.

They're just much better in every department. We have to be careful, because we are starting to look tired out there.

I was expecting Ramsey to be the link player but it's just not happening. As mentioned, James, Wilson & Moore haven't seen much action lately. 1-0 down at H-T has exceeded my expectations.

Yup, can't argue with that.

Yeah, this could end up very messy if Croatia keep on going as they were for the ten minutes before half time.

Croatia are certainly masters of the dark arts as well as being a good footballing team.

Dominating possession this half.

Re: CROATIA v WALES. Match thread, ko 7:45pm
Surely our ambition is to finish 2nd to Croatia. Let them beat everybody else and make our focus Latvia, Armenia and Turkey. Keep our loss to Croatia to a minimum. Sneak anything is a massive bonus.

True, in the first half we gave the ball away much too easily. Bit better second half.

Re: CROATIA v WALES. Match thread, ko 7:45pm
James should have scored then

Yup, the only concern for me is that we haven't shown a thing, we haven't controlled 1 second of the game. Performance is important, even if it's just from individual players. Getting beat tonight wont be a problem, but it would be nice for us to be able to concentrate on some individual performances.

Dan James has to put that on target and at least test the keeper...

I think we’ve been the better side 2nd half.

Yeah, definite improvement.

Re: CROATIA v WALES. Match thread, ko 7:45pm
The first half reminds me of the game against USA in the World Cup. Page's team talks must be as boring as f**k!

Re: CROATIA v WALES. Match thread, ko 7:45pm
Credit to Wales, they’re still well in the game going into the last fifteen minutes - something I thought was out of the question at half time. Got to say though that our bench looks much weaker now.
The ref’s a right homer as well.

Re: CROATIA v WALES. Match thread, ko 7:45pm
Nearly brilliant from Perisic
