This lot were there for the taking. Poor at the back with a dodgy keeper. Chance missed. |
We've had enough chances to win this game, even though we've been overrun in midfield.
How the fvck Croatia have kept 11 players on the pitch, only the ref knows |  |

Ampadu has also made a difference. Smith and Vaulks are two mid championship players. |
Agreed
Play the youngsters |  |

Giggs made the wrong midfield choices.. Ampadu and Brooks made it competitive | |

Absolutely agree. Should have started with Brooks and Ampadu, and Wilson was absolutely gash. He had had a dismal downturn in form. He can tell just by looking at him that he is not enjoying his football at the moment. We should have at least drawn that game. |  |

Mepham had a decent game but his lack of pace was always a worry. Lawrence dallied on the ball a lot, perhaps by necessity with no one getting a sure foot on the ball in midfield.
Get Joe in the side, mun.
No shame in Connor getting ripped apart by Perisic. Not many of his calibre in world football.
Smith struggled. Vaulks isn't good enough and never has been, should have been clear from the Trinidad game. Shape and approach was wrong, but the conditions were hard (literally) and they're a top side on their day. | | | |

I'd have taken 2-1 out there to Croatia even though after watching the game they are not a World Cup Final team anymore. | | | |

They probably weren't at the time they just got that lucky route to the Semis along with England. | | | |

Midfield was too lightweight without Ampadu.
Brooks creates space for others with his trickery committing defenders. Should have started if possible.
Bale gave poor Roberts no assistance whatsoever with Perisic, who is Croatia’s most dangerous player.
Back line needed an experienced head in there as a “leader”. Mepham and Lawrence are good players but did not look confident under pressure.
Can’t be too upset with the result as Croatia are a quality side, and we weren’t awful. But, we could have got a point out of that if we had a better set up and approach to the game. [Post edited 8 Jun 2019 16:29]

Very disappointed with that. We weren’t in the game for long periods of time and were overrun in midfield. When we had the ball we gave it away too cheaply. Lots of players had very poor games today. That said, we could have had a draw at the end, much better intensity and movement and we created a couple of chances. With a bit more luck and effort we could have had a draw.
Hungary next, we need to pick up points and Giggs needs to get his team selection right. | | | |

No shape, no pattern. Giggs must take blame for that. Defence was like a dogs hind leg. Very little composure with some players, who must accept blame for that themselves. I think we'll do Hungary though. | | | |

We didn't play well and had problems in midfield and defence Wilson was a passenger and looked like a little boy out there and besides a long throw you have to wonder what Vaulkes brings to the side, Smith is young and will learn, as somebody has already stated.Bale is a shadow of his former self. Perhaps we should have played with 3 centrebacks. As soon as Brooks and Ampadu came on the quality of the passing and movement improved and we almost forced a draw. One good point is that we kept ourselves in touching distance even though we were poor. Giggs needs to re-assess his thinking on Vaulkes and Lawrence 2 players he has brought in to the set up Rodon is better than Lawrence and should not be held back by him. |  | | |

Shocking first half
More than enough chances to win.
No point trying to play the ball out from the back with CBs who can't pass.
Bale had another poor game.
Swans and exSwans did OK but James is still more effective for me as an impact sub.
Ampadu did well but has barely played this year so I suppose a start was never on the cards.
Hennessy is a liability. |  |

Agree with a lot of that, especially this modern trend of playing out from the back ALL of the time, but Hennessy made a couple of very good saves. | |

Reminded me of many Swans performances away on a dry, bobbly, slow pitch. Missed Ramsey in midfield. Bale mostly awful again. I couldn't believe Hennessey didn't come for the ball that lead to the first goal. A comedy of errors for the second - and Connor could have stayed on his feet and maybe stopped the subsequent shot. Overall not a bad performance from a very young team, but a missed opportunity because Croatia were poor. | | | |
