FT: WALES 0 - 2 IRAN. Match thread

[Des Parrot]

So basically we’re all saying the same thing, it’s been a very poor first half, poor passing, too slow & too open.

Iran won’t tire so we’ll need to improve what we’re doing, big style. Iran will give the USA a game.

[Wales-Bales]

At the risk of being controversial and not following the narrative, it is feckin hot out there and with a bit of luck, our boys are keeping a bit in the tank.

HUGE 45 minutes to come

I think somebody already mentioned that

[MacAdder]

get Wilson off and Either Allen or james on

Rodon is the one I worry about.
He and Mepham don't fill me with any confidence.

You'd think they were playing against world class forwards.

Edit: prediction, James to cause havoc 2nd half

[MacAdder]

My apologies. I was watching the game and hadn't read the whole thread

[A Quiet Monkfish]

No changes.

[Hilts]

Need to pass it better is an understatement.

I think this is the saving grace.

Iran will fancy themselves against the States.

Starting the 2nd half the same as the 1st - giving the ball away

[Wales-Bales]

I wish Davies would stop playing probing balls from midfield, he's a bloody CB/FB.

[PontBlue]

So many misplaced passes and players on different wavelengths. It's like they've never played together before

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Bloody hell

[PontBlue]

The luck is with us so far

[Wales-Bales]

Get Ward on FFS!

[LA Bluebird]

Has Page forgotten he’s allowed to make changes?

[Wales-Bales]

Has Page forgotten he’s allowed to make changes?

I recommend a change of manager.

[Maurice Swan]

How lucky was THAT!!!

[Harry Paget Flashman]

Changes leave us with 2 passengers in midfield.

[79blue]

Will some one go to the Welsh hotel and get the Welsh team out of bed.

[Wales-Bales]

Come on Brennan.

[PontBlue]

I recommend a change of manager.

Two games and he's got his starting line up wrong both times

[caerkid]

Hope I'm wrong but bringing James and Johnson on feels a bit useless when no-one can currently pass to them. Guess Allen really is crocked.
Iran are looking the far better team but still a chance of a smash and grab.

[Wales-Bales]

Changes leave us with 2 passengers in midfield.

But they are best mates with the manager.

[poc]

thankfully wilson has gone , he offers nothing

I'm quite impressed with Iran.

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Every Iran attack comes from us giving the ball away cheaply
