Good effort. One sloppy goal. The future is bright.
Well, all in all a decent performance. We looked a bit toothless in attack and fragile in defence but we can still heart from that
We missed Ramsey, but further up the pitch, not as a defender.
Decent performance where we were toothless in attack and fragile defensively?
(Only being a pedantic prick don't take it seriously)
On the game.. I've just watched the first half and I honestly nearly fell asleep.
Not worried about the result of a friendly but we certainly miss Ramsey and I'd like a replacement for Ashley..
I thought Hairy Wilson had a good game.
Williams looked slow today and is near the end of his international career, we also miss a replacement for Vokes as a target man. Shame Morrison at Millwall isnt considered anymore as he is having a cracking season.
Giggs needs to find a formation to suit our players and maybe revert to a back 4 in the future with Ampadu and Allen in front. Impressed with Harry Wilson and Lee Evans to add to Ramsey, Woodburn, Lawrence and Brooks to give some options as attacking midfielders.
Williams seems to have lost it since leaving the Jacks.
Shame. He’s. been a great servant for Wales.
We really need to find a way to fashion good chances when we have possession. Our tactic is basically still 'keep the ball and hope Bale does something to win the game'. As we found out in the World Cup qualifiers - that only gets you so far.
60 minutes in and I'm turning it off...or at least not really glued to it like normal..probably because I know how it finishes.. but neither team is good enough to be considered "impressive".
I'm not a fan of 5 at the back.
Won't criticise as we don't have a full team and it's early days. What i like is we get forward a bit faster..Ramsey to come back..probably won't keep John at left back etc..ampadu to come back in..
Did you go to all these Exeter games when he played then? He wasn't on TV. He's played a handful of games for Cheslea, and he's played in midfield. Ledley only has 76 caps in his position so he's pretty much a novice. You can't judge Ampadu yet, and it's unfair to put so much pressure on a young lad's shoulders. Regardless of what you say, his positional play will need work, and he's still not a centre back or a centre mid, so he'll need to decide at some point and carve out a niche.
His passing today was awful.
Don't put words in my mouth, neither Ledley or Allen are awful, I'd consider Allen more box to box and not a defensive midfielder.
Ampadu in MY OPINION is different to both as he is a defensive minded player who can pass and carry the ball. Ledley IN MY OPINION isn't a defensive midfielder he's a centre mid who's lost his pace.
You are hard work. Really are.
No, I just think that people are praising Ampadu as the second coming of Jesus, when we don't know how good he'll be. I think he could be really good but it's laughable to suggest "we're really missing Ampadu" when he's not even kicked a ball competitively for us. He's a fine prospect but that's all he is. Ledley has played defensive mid for about 5 years and has formed a key partnership with Allen.
