The Wales management seem happier with players like Morell who are comfortable on the ball and can pass it than hustlers like Vaulks. I was in Croatia for the last competitive Wales game he started where Modric and co gave our midfield an embarrassing run around. We seem to be berating the technical capability of our central midfield and then bemoan that one of their number hasn't made the step up to international level.
To be fair Croatia were world cup runners up and had a midfield consisting of people from Barcelona and Madrid, anybody using that as a yard stick to measure is being unjust.

However looking at recent Wales Teams, we seem to play 5 at the back an another central defender in the midfield.
