The "Welsh way" is the "Martinez way" surely? 14:20 - Dec 2 with 938 viewsReslovenSwan1

The New brush of optimistic football was defined by PR guru as the "Welsh way" . A young fresh coach in Speed. Giving youth a chance and a possession football with accurate passing. The antithesis of everything that came before Gould Yorath Smith Hughes. Same way of playing through the age groups. Sadly today it is a myth.

What we have seen from Page is not any way. They can pass only i the own half while under no pressure. Look at Switzerland and Croatia. Chalk and cheese. When the old legs started to fail the squad and team working would kick in and save the day in theory. It was shambolic.

Somebody said Belgium going out gives perspective. No it does not. The performances were stale regardless of any other team.

Where for Martinez now. Manager of Wales now in my opinion or a technical director roles with Page learning and developing under him. He has the pedigree and the local links.

Welsh way is not 25 % possession pass accuracy of 46% and park the bus.

The FAW promote it. It is a PR sound bite inked to Speed and the general "feel good factor" in welsh football since 2016. Noe more than PR spin is required to get the ship back on course. It is about the first team playing a modern controlled game like Croatia or Switzerland.

Toshack started the new Wales revolution, he bedded in the younger players, whilst admitting that it would take time and that the young players would have to undue some tough medicine with some hard lessons along the way, they got there and improved Speed was an important part of that. No Myth about it, what has happened is those players have got older and time has passed by for some, a new generation needs to be blooded,

I said that Belgium going out along with Germany and also Spain, Argentina and France losing games puts Wales's performances into perspective, so yes it does it does.

Martinez has failed everywhere he's been and has failed at the highest level with the quality Belgium had, what local links has he got to Wales? he might have had some around Swansea 10 yrs or more ago, but he's got little or nothing now so your opinion is null and void and that is a total myth.

Martinez as the overall top man would be a perfect fit for Cymru.

Osian has been missed badly.

Page needs help.
His team selections looked unwise throughout.

Wales had to have a go and try to win a game.
First match no Moore and no Johnson - both premier league players, both not selected.

Second match, a few days later was midday. We needed legs.
Leaves Dan James and Johnson on the bench.
Plays both Bale and Rambo for two starts in a week.

The England games first half looked more like Wales, but our midfield had no control in any match.

Harry Wilson is stealing a shirt.
Contributed feck all.

Croatia going deep into competitions again with a 3.8m population and no long lost Grandfather players either. Home grown. The Croatian way. Substance over PR guff. Make the 'Croatia way' the Welsh way.

They have had some great player true but so have Wales.

Neither Moore or Johnson are premier league standard. Both are playing for very poor PL teams and even then are not good enough to play most games for their clubs.

At least Moore put some effort in, whereas Johnson was pathetically poor, to warm for him I expect bless him.
A 21 yr old lad having an opportunity to play in the World cup for his Country having to be told by his Captain to "Come on keep running and I keep going" Bale even said I know its hard but keep going, dear me. I'm sorry, but he'd have to do a hell of a lot to convince me to ever pick him again, Dan James has gone backwards but at least he cares and puts 100% effort into his game time.

Thats a fair challenge.

You can only fairly be considered of Premier League standard, if you play in the …. well, Premier League.

Both Moore and Johnson do.
This is a fact, not an opinion.

I agree.

But i think it was the management (lack of) rather than ability.

Wales ended up with only Neco and Roberts in space on the flanks not James or Johnson. .They could neither get past people or get in good crosses for Moore. Roberts hit 6 ft 5 in Moore in middle with low trajectors crosses suited for the Iranians in particular.

Toshack with Leighton James knew what to do. A chip ball to the back stick and back in with the centre backs temporarily disoriented and having to spin 180 degrees. Completely beyond Page Roberts Neco and co.

Ali Dia played in the Premier League. As did Itay Schecter, Vangelis Moras, and many other hapless duffers.

It seems some Welsh fans are happy to go back to lumping a long ball up to a sub standard English centre forward.

I disagree with you on Johnson think he is a decent player (but again English).

Moore is a proper player with decent service. Wales wanted to pass the ball to each other but had no options as the coaching was so poor. Page is clearly an old school, out of his depth coach who inherited a system he could not develop. All the players in the squad are Welsh and not elligble for England. Page should be sacked. He sent Neco back on to the pitch with the player claiming he was seeing double. "We followed protocols". One s we all know are inadequate.

Wales's best prospect Luke Harris withdrew from travelling with Jordan James for personal reasons. He like Le Tissier is from Jersey. If he chooses England I wish him well. I hope he stays loyal to Wales.

Your flags show your affiliations and it is the abomination Team GB foistered on football fans by the corrupt IoC. No football fans care about Olympic football. The women's Team GB is a trojan horse and should be abolished. No footballers outside the UK can play for two internationally recognised football teams concurrently.

You know nothing about me & proud to be British means Jack shite to wanting a team GB.

If English born Moore was good enough to play for England he would have if you are deluded to think otherwise, kick on with the forum idiot.

Luke Harris withdrew as he’s been told he has the chance to play for England we should have capped him earlier.

I do agree with you on Page not sure why anyone would think an ex Port Vale & Northampton manager would do much in modern international football.
