UEFA Nations League & Euro 2020 Qualification

[Lupo]

Fantastic free kick by Wilson puts Wales 1-0 up

 

[Jack Regan]

Bit of quality, entirely out of kilter with this game.

 

[Tony Towner]

Good execution, but when the keeper is stood on that side of the goal then it's on him

Randolph in goal, so...

xG had Spain winning 1.93 to 1.66. So we rode our luck a bit, but this wasn't a total mugging. (If you buy into xG, which I do to a point).

This is a mugging, for reference:

I think in this scenario xG is a little misleading as the chances we created were great chances but the way we created them I don't think is sustainable or easily repeatable.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Ireland are shit. Free kick was 4 yards inside the post He’s just hit it hard at the side of the goal not guarded by the wall. Should have been little more than catching practice

 

[Jack Regan]

O'Neill for the chop after this one?

 

[PuntsWolf]

He’s got Cyrus Christie playing in midfield and he looks pub standard.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Genuinely do not understand how MON got a new contract. Lunacy.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Well, I am happy. We really aren't very good without Bale obviously, but it's going okay so far.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

back to the shit fest afer a good monday night!

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Genuinely do not understand how MON got a new contract. Lunacy.

Because Delaney is a fucking clown of the highest order.

No players
No goalscorer
No tactics
No organisation

You can blame the last two on MON, Wales were no great shakes last night but we are absolutely dire with no shining light on the horizon.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

back to the shit fest afer a good monday night!

Not entirely - France v Germany was a good game and the atmosphere was electric.

 

[James]

Gibraltar won again last night

No Coady in the new 28 man Squad announced by Southgate :icon_rolleyes:

 

[Tredman]

He's only playing 4 at the back now i think? I get not picking him if that's the case. Still daft though, the defence is very ropey.

 

[White Wolf]

If Southgate is reverting to a back four again for Croatia then I understand why Coady is not in the squad. If he isn't then it's a stupid decision and I'm not a fan of Dunk - at least Tarkowski is gone though, he's been awful of late.

Rooney can fuck off, of course. Devalues an already pointless fixture even further and I don't get why he has again called up four goalkeepers - Bettinelli isn't even playing. Overall though it's not that bad a squad, minus Danny Welbeck.

 

[Langers]

If Coady wasn't picked last time when we had one of the best defensive records in the league, I wasn't expecting him to be called up this time.

I'll be in a minority but I'm pleased Rooney will get a proper send off at Wembley - it's respect he's earned.

 

[Jinky]

Absolute state of that squad.

Bettinelli - part of one of the leakiest defences in Premier League history.

McCarthy - let in 6 goals at the weekend.

Butland - playing in the Championship. Complete contradiction on what Southgate said last season.

Dunk - possibly deserves a chance due to Brighton's recent form. But only really good for one thing - getting on the end of set pieces.

Keane - been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Not good enough.

Delph - not playing for his club but still gets a call up.

Winks - made to look like a complete mug by MGW last Saturday.

Welbeck - really?

Rooney - We all know about this debate already

Southgate is taking the absolute piss IMO.

 

[Johnny75]

Bettinelli, Dunk, Lingard, Rooney, Welbeck and Winks have no business being anywhere near an England squad.

Winks was pretty poor against us and outshone by MGW in only a third of the time. Lingard has only just returned from injury and has been poor this season and the others are dross.
