Ampadu has been outstanding. My MoTM

He's doing it every week at Leeds :thumbup:

Ampadu MotM, outstanding.

Lightweight front 3. Ha,ha,wrong. Finland couldn’t cope with the pace & directness. Page got it spot on (did I just write that?)

Surprised about comments about the defence. Mepham had his best game in a Welsh shirt.

Only Roberts was a weak link. #21 beat him virtually every time.

Jordan James and Wilson also played well

Neco too.

Re: FT: WALES 4 - 1 FINLAND. Match thread

The 20 minute period after our first goal was very subdued. Finland were just able to pass the ball around at will with no-one challenging them for it. A better team would have walked straight through us. Christian Roberts seemed to be lacking a bit of pace which is a worry ahead of Tuesday.
Great result but Poland will be a different challenge.

Great result but Lewandowski will be rubbing his hands at the prospect of playing against our defence.

I dont wish to put a dampener on the night but at 1 nil, even at 2-1, our defence looked like they'd never played together and the Fins had a number of chances.
Just glad they didn't fall to Pukki.

I do agree. My preference would be for Ampadu to man mark Lewandowski and just keep him out of the game. Our defence looked clueless at times yesterday

After witnessing our rock solid City defence all season, it was concerning to see the Wales defenders a bit shaky but in return we were treated to an attack that looked like scoring every time they moved forward. That was a sight for sore eyes.

Four one, outstanding what a start to each half, that was very entertaining, what pace and they took all the goals well and it should have been five!

Well done Rob Page, you did a great job there now follow it up with a good performance on Tuesday

Harry Wilson, what a player! and Brooks!

Didn't score yesterday, did he?

Leaving space for the others probably.

Poland are poor away from home. We are very strong at home and have qualified for the past two finals by winning play offs in Cardiff. Think we will edge it.

You really have put the jinx on it now.

Re: FT: WALES 4 - 1 FINLAND. Match thread

What Cardiff players would get in the team if they were automatically Welsh?
