Wales 0-0 Iran

Wales now essentially in the Ossie Ardiles 4-1-5 formation.

Robert Page has pushed all his chips into the middle of the table.

Wales have responded to being overrun in midfield by withdrawing their midfield.

It hasn't worked.

Joe Allen is readying himself.

Richard: Bale and Ramsey passengers. This tournament should be the last we see them in a Wales shirt. We've been playing with 9 men for 200+ minutes.

Well beaten - the better side won.

Bale and Ramsey were anonymous

Got to look at the Manager who picked his team and squad on reputation…

I dread what England will do to us <yikes>

Fair call Taff about the manager and players reputation, it sounded awful and well beaten in the end........

It’s the truth - no point hiding from it.

If you read Page’s explanation of Gunter’s and Johnny Williams’ inclusion in the squad it is basically because they’ve been around a long time and they are good guys - nothing about deserving of a place on form.

Plus, in my view, he’s clearly in awe of Bale and Ramsey.

Ramsey, in particular, doesn’t deserve to be in the team to play England <ok>
 
Your getting a completely biased opinion here from me.

It was a red card all day and all night.
Two piece of Joe Allen "skill" led to the goals.

Bale and Ramsey were anonymous. Players over team...bad bad management. Heads do need to roll.

The squad was overfull with over the hill players. A very poor show, for all the fervour that the Welsh nation put into this...it will have broken a lot of small kids hearts.

I don't mind losing ( well I do actually), but this was brought on ourselves. Iran were good but they weren't brilliant.

Very disappointed...now get a view from someone who is not as biased as I am
