FT: WALES 3 - 1 FINLAND. Match thread

[BLUETIT]

No Keiffer Moore, but Harry Wilson starts in a negative looking selection.

Ward, Roberts, Rodon, Mepham, Lawrence, Norrington-Davies, Ampadu, Morrell, James, Bale, Wilson

I do wish Ampadu, would stop doing a Gunnarsson (pointiing) and start filling his potential. He spends the game, dictating not commanding !!

Same as Ireland just a few like for like swaps, 6 defenders and no recognised striker.

1-0 wales

I think Ben Davies's enforced loss is the biggest worry given the players available at the outset. Probably the most under-rated talent in the team and the most senior defender helping the promising but inexperienced others. Also hope that Norrington-Davies becomes more confident when he gets the ball in threatening positions.

The play-off spots go to the two highest ranked Nations League Group winners

I think if we win the group, given where we are in the current FIFA rankings we would be fifth ranked of all the winners.

It would need two of the four group winners in the A league, France, Spain and currently Italy and Belgium, not to win their World Cup Qualifying groups to deny us that play off spot (if we don't get one as runners up in our World Cup Qualification group).

Simples

or finish second (which is an automatic place in the qualifiers)

Bit disappointed with that line up. Game opened up massively when kieffer came on Sunday so thought we’d go with that second half team tonight. Can’t see Bale playing the 90, Johnny and neco Williams both on the bench aswell, yeah bit underwhelmed with the starting team.

[Monster munch]

Still, got to support them, c’mon Wales!!

It's a crazy situation of ifs and might bes.

Whatever it is, Page is lining up for a backs to the wall job which, when you think of it, has worked up until now but it just doesn't sit right with me.
Too many times we've blown it in similar situations.

I suppose it's a case of them having to come and win so let's see what they've got and hit them on the break.

Hope our Gareth lasts the course as I can see him covering some ground.

I love Ben Davies, he's underrated at Spurs but not to sure about Wales.

What was he thinking?
