This is going to be an absolute hammering. I'd like to see us trying to play counter attacking with I hope the line up is more like delmbox than the predicted one.
Maybe morell for Smith. Not sure about roberts I expect Moore to play because whilst I would like us to play more counter attacking reckon will be smash and hold to get upfield
I think I switched on to computer game mode for a second :hehe: There is no way my predicted line-up will happen. Reckon Giggs will go fairly normal for 50 minutes then start to make the changes after that.Quote:

It's really strange that Giggs hasn't brought up another striker since Hal going out with a broken arm as Moore cannot play all three games and Tyler Roberts rarely plays as a striker for his club.
Is anyone here interested in Wales when Cardiff are so shit?
Shut it, Harris is doing an amazing job.Quote:

Live on ITV aswell if you'd rather listen to biased commentary. I forgot that they show England's home games.
I doubt though that ITV Wales will be opting out and providing their own analysts and commentators.
So Ramsey is unavailable? But ronaldo played yesterday
He’s more important to Juve:hehe:Quote:

Looking at the potential lineups I'm definitely worried.
No point to this friendly at all.Quote:

I never thought I'd say this about a Wales v England game, but I'm tempted to watch one of the competitive games involving Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic tonight.
My thinking as well, will start with N.ireland but might switch.Quote:

I expect I will eventually turn to itv to watch but with little enthusiasm and an eye of the more important fixtures that have qualification at stake.
In the short-term, the main thing about this friendly, once UEFA decided there needed to be a three game window, was how easy it must have been to arrange.
We are looking likely to have USA arranged for later in the year after Trump confirmed America turning, back, into Wales so that will be more to look forward to.
In the longer term, it's a big test for some of our younger players or those who haven't had many minutes at international level and maybe a chance to a have a close eye on a side we may see in knockout stages in future tournaments.
Wouldn't it have been easier and cheaper to play this game at Reading? Or Brentford's new stadium?
Jesus. What were the two defenders doing there?
Great. Now Moore is injured. BALLS!
I'm okay with conceding so poorly from two set-pieces because that should be able to be sorted quite quickly. Think we now know that Tyler Roberts is a really fine attacking midfielder, potentially Ramsey's successor, but not quite an international striker, at least not yet, and we need to have a bit more of a plan for goal-scoring going forward.
I don't think he's got Ramsey's vision, but then Ramsey is a special player. Roberts impressed me last night thoughQuote:
