Danny ward, lmfao
thankfully I didn't pay money to watch this!
Armenia are pretty poor tbh, so are we.
If Armenia had any composure we’d be well behind now
Any composure and they would have easily scored 4 again. Utter shite.
Very very poor and lucky to get a point.
A massive disappointment.
Given what was at stake, that was so bad.
...on the plus side there were some good looking women in the crowd...
Could have stuck 6 on us if they'd had their shooting boots on.
Time to start cancelling your Germany flights!
Awful performance and very lucky to get a point!
Absolutely shocking.
I can understand Brooks coming off from a fitness perspective, but Wilson?
Then finally takes off Roberts and brings on Broadhead out of desperation.
Time to go Page!!
If only these players had a coach (not the bus type)
I'm half hoping we don't qualify because this lot would be a major embarrassment to the nation if they performed like this on the world stage.
Just hoping in the next few years, some decent midfielders are unearthed because Ampadu and James are not worthy of wearing the shirt.
Johnson and James were both very disappointing after they came on but we didn’t really get them the ball . Once we went to four at the back we were all over the place, Armenia should have won it at the end
Don’t deserve to qualify I’m afraid if we can only take 1 point off Armenia.
The country were raving about them after the last match.Quote:

Agree with that.Quote:

Page at fault for this? Seemed like nothing was thought out to utilise them. Just get them on and hope for the bestQuote:

I’ve said it a million times but for me Page is an awful manager, lucky to have got the job on the back of Giggs issues. The FAW giving him a new contract before the World Cup was unbelievable. What has it been now one good performance against Croatia, other than that game when was the last good performance we have put in?
Moore’s chest was like a trampoline the ball bounced so far off it
So noticeable how every Welsh player lacked composure on the ball when we got into the attacking third. No ball control, no vision, no movement. Compare that to Armenia, who worked the ball so well when in the same position, finding a man, beating their opponent with ease and setting up chances galore. On another day they could have had a hatfull.
100%. One of his main strengths desertated him today and no plan B to sub him when it obviously wasn't working. Didn't even have any urgency to get it out wide to get crosses in for him.Quote:

Blakey got it right after the game when he said that in the past we’d have a Bale or Ramsey to come up with something special when it was needed, today there was absolutely nothing from a set of players that had shown they could produce when needed against Croatia.
We won't have Galacticos to dig us out for the foreseeable, so we need a management team capable of delivering unique game plans to maximise what we have and minimise what the opposition has.
Rob Page is a lovely guy but it's not him
Anyone think Colwill would have made a difference? Despite flaws atleast he is someone who can make something special out of nothing. Seemed to be that sort of game from the way we played.
Expect we’ll still be saying that in 10 years timeQuote:

Yes, purely because we needed someone hanging around the middle to pick up the ball and do something with it.Quote:

Fair opinion! Just think a Colwill cameo instead of keeping Moore on for the full 90 would have been worth a roll of the dice during that desperate end to the game.Quote:

If I've looked correctly, Poland have guaranteed their playoff berth, however if Ukraine beat Italy on Monday night Italy take the other group A slot so we'd miss out entirely. I think, could be wrong.
Scrap that, https://x.com/DaleJohnsonESPN/status...240630441?s=20Quote:
