That should be the last game for Bale and Ramsey in a Welsh shirt.
Shocking we gave Page a 2 year deal before the World Cup. We have been so naive in recent games before the World Cup although I didn’t think we could be so poor these two games with zero game plan. Bale playing every minute? Odd. No thought for the future.
Wasted a sunny day to watch that sh1te. Rambo had a shocker, Bale wasn't even there. So disappointing and we were shredded by a better side.

2 nil flatterers us.
That was pathetic. Page was shown up big time.
How many people on here have gone on about Brennan Johnson, well I think he is shit.
His work rate supporting Williams was a disgrace.
I’m gutted.
Why did page keep bale and Ramsey on? Feck me.
Well done Iran, you showed some balls.
England are going to stick 10 past us if we persist with the old timers.
Well. It's not cool being shown up for the average team we are on the world stage. Is it ? Backbone doesn't come into it. Are we there for the ride or are we there to play some football. It might be harsh but we are basically the Rangers-UCL of the World Cup.Quote:

It's the fckin tactics I reckon.....Page doesn't have the experience surely at this level. I dunno.
Page doesn't run the team, Bale does. Almost a testimonial for the old guard
Yes Hilts…a winnerQuote:

Worst Wales performance for around 8 years. Probably more unsuccessful passes than successful.
They won't drop themselves for the England game.Quote:

I'd give the manager job to J R Hartley, it was a brilliant call to bring on Joe Allen.Quote:

Page has to step down after this unless we rise like Lazzarus
Poor selection and failure to act
We were playing with 8 when he was on sillyQuote:

He hasn't just played poorly himself he has stopped the rest of the team being able to play to a large extent.
I know we're not an amazing side, and maybe I was expecting a bit too much. But i do think we had players who could have caused teams problems. Unfortunately they've had to play 2nd fiddle so two blokes who can't/won't run can have a farewell tour.
make this a sticky :thumbup:Quote:

I understand why Ramsey plays, we have so few options, he at least gets on the ball and tries to make things happen although he was appalling. Bale however hardly touched the ball and we have so many other attacking options. Page needs to resign.
I was going to say you’ve got to have a working midfield in the modern game, but you need one full stop. The desperation to get Joe Allen “fit” says it all and, after winging it last year in the Euros, Bale and Ramsey’s completely unsatisfactory club situations have caught up with them with a vengeance. You cling to straws and hope for the best, but this has been coming since we scraped past Ukraine last June - the best ever Welsh team really needs a rebuilding job now.Quote:
