Gluey gets his wish, Ampadu in midfield.
Incidentally, Scotland are getting thumped 3-0 by Ireland.

Disappointing to concede.
We've played well in all of these Nations League games.

He had Wilson free to his left then, he decided to lob one over the bar into the Canton stand

Re: WALES v BELGIUM. Match thread
Lovely goal, but Williams should have done better.

What has Thomas got to do to get some game time?

I agree.
Somebody mentioned the other day that Page may not be a fan.
Maybe that is the case.
Why bring on Norrington Davies over him?
Sorba looks like he could be the business to me.

Yep. What is there to lose by giving him a chance.

Bonkers he's brought on Burns at wing back ahead of Thomas

Ridiculous. I hope Thomas gets a chance on Tuesday night.

Nations League has been a huge success IMO.
Much better than a handful of friendlies.

Re: FT: WALES 1 - 1 BELGIUM. Match thread
That was great.
I love this team so much.

Re: FT: WALES 1 - 1 BELGIUM. Match thread
Just a pity we didn’t close out the Poland and Netherlands games but can’t fault the effort
-
Re: FT: WALES 1 - 1 BELGIUM. Match thread
That was terrific. We so deserved the equaliser. Much better than the last two games. We have more about us when Wilson starts and Ampadu is at CDM. You could see the equaliser coming. Lovely to see us pushing forward like that.
Great assist for Ramsey who played well when he came on.
I think we all know Johnson could be the next big star. The only issue is Sorba Thomas not being given game time. He deserves a chance.

Re: FT: WALES 1 - 1 BELGIUM. Match thread
Really enjoyable match, which tends to happen when we play these lot. Chuffed Brennan got his first goal and unfortunate Ampadu couldn’t get his too. Feels like we deserve a bit more than a point out of these three games but on the whole they’ve been encouraging performances to different degrees.

If City can't nail on Colwill as a starter there's something wrong.

What i love about Johnson he does not try to smash the ball into the net,a bit like Ian Rush.

He passed it into the net. Composed and full of confidence. It’s great to see.

It was a class finish.
Class smile for the camera as well.
First of many for us I'm sure!

That was a bit of play by Ramsey to set him up, great finish mind, can't teach composure, but Ramsey, **** me!:thumbup:

Re: FT: WALES 1 - 1 BELGIUM. Match thread
Good stuff. Starting to feel like we belong alongside the likes of Belgium and Netherlands now, rather than just hoping for an upset when we play them.

Re: FT: WALES 1 - 1 BELGIUM. Match thread
Cracking game, Belgium must hate playing Wales! Only annoying thing was that the Belgian goal was a carbon copy of the Dutch one, caught napping after half time again.
Lots of attacking threat from Wales (James in particular) and was an excellent performance. Feel a lot better after that.

Having got to the top table I hope we can remain in tier A and continue to play the best teams.
Looks a tall order.

Burns did well, looked much better than a league one player.

Re: FT: WALES 1 - 1 BELGIUM. Match thread
Really encouraging performance, thought we went toe to toe with a good side and more than held our own. Great goal and performance from Johnson, thought he looked brilliant when he came on.
