Yeah from the manager. |
Exactly, reminds me a bit like Russ last year, only start playing when they run out of options. |  | |  |

Well done, but why so long to produce a decent performance, we have good young players that are sometimes hampered by overly negative tactics. |
Nice to see you on the Footie board tramps, even if it's just to down arrow me, or are you lost ? | | | |

He’s a buffoon.
Decent in the air, but that’s about it. I can see why Page picked him, purely for nuisance purposes but he’s no footballer. Obvs other views are available. |
Got to disagree with you tonight. I’ve just come back from the game and watching him in person I thought he played well. He did a lot of donkey work, run in to the channels, held the ball up and brought others in to the game. Croatia often had 2 guys marking him. | | | |

Does anyone think we could pull this off?
I always want Wales to win but I doubt we will even lay a glove on them.
After stealing a point out there I think they are going to be ruthless tonight.
I think a cricket score is incoming at least that will be the end of the Robert Page era. |
I am sure you don’t mind eating humble pie |  |

Just back from the game. Excellent performance.
If James had buried that one when 2 up it could have been said it was easy.
I thought Rodon was outstanding, regular football for the first time in a few years is what he needed. A good team performance.
Let’s take that into the next two games and we will qualify. | |

Just back from tonight’s game. Thought we played well, best performance for a while and we were worthy winners. With a little more luck it could have been at least 1 more, maybe even 2 more goals. We showed a lot of purpose in the first half and for a big chunk of the second half, but towards the end I was sitting on the edge of my seat and thought we could blow it.
We needed to put a foot on the ball and move it around to stop Croatia getting possession, but at times we just retreated and let them come at us.
Thought most of the team played really well, but a special mention to Harry Wilson had his best game in ages and took his goals exceptionally well, I also thought young Jordan James deserves a mention, he’s not long turned 19 and looked very tidy alongside Ampadu tonight. Also Dan James, he gets a bit of stick, but he caused a fair few problems for Croatia and unnerved them with his pace.
We just need to keep that level of performance up. | | | |

Exactly this an absolutely awful player just gets in the way slow and lazy.
Wilson,Rodon,Ward all outstanding the best Wales have played for a very long time moving the ball around all the time making Croatia do all the huffing & puffing |  |

Sorry but i completely disagree with this. The amount of aimless balls long that he was able to flick on, take down or layoff to Wilson and Brooks behind him was vital.
Completely occupied the two centre halves and gave the two in behind acres.
He might not be pretty but he plays to his strengths.
Im hoping Ramsey isnt fit for the next qualifiers so we can start with the same XI. | |

I agree, Moore is limited but runs his blood to water every time he plays, last night was one of his best, as a few have said he was a nuisance and kept their centre halves busy which helped wilson and brooks. | | | |

Agreed. Surprised anyone who watches the game thinks differently tbh. What does worry me is RP saying in his post match presser that 7 out of the 11 aren't starters for their clubs. Oh and RP himself, so that's 2 worries  | | | |

Agree about Jordan James seems to fit nicely in the middle, good work rate and doing well covering anticipating danger and Ampadu seems comfortable alongside him, Neco and Roberts on the flanks allowing Wilson and Brooks to get further up the park quickly.
Old guard gone allowing new youthful players to learn and earn their international place in the starting line up. | | | |

How much of previous play was young players feeling obliged to pass the ball to more established players when there were better options on. We played with more freedom last night hence the performance. |  | | |

I purposely watched Jordan and he has a great football brain, as you say he anticipates danger, he did several occasions last night and especially on one occasion in our box where the Croatian player made a run and if Jordan hadn't been aware he could have got a shot off, jordan takes a bit of pressure off Ampadu which makes ethan more relaxed. | | | |

That tends to happen but how much have some of the younger players learnt from them, nice mix of experience and young in the team, big ask to win both remaining games, enjoyed the win. Will Page be able to adapt tactics to gain the wins?

I am alot more confident of winning in armenia than I was before last night's game.
These kids have no fear, if the tactics are right then we can beat armenia. | | | |

Weaken us imo, who from last nights starting 11 would you swap him with?
Everyone of those 11 had a fantastic game. | | | |

I'm pretty sure he will not be back for the November games and by next summer he will be fully crocked in my opinion, a season in the championship will finish him. But to answer your question. I would say weaken after last nights match, but was it a flash in the pan or the start of a 3 game winning run? | | | |

He’s obviously a class player but getting on. Based on last nights performance, the team looked to have a better balance and shape and I’d start the next game with the last nights team if they’re all fit. | | | |

We are already on a 3 game winning run (and unbeaten in 4 games), can we win the next 2 games, odds against I would say, but possible. |  |
