We’re data driven over here.. but no clue

I’m in Puerto Rico for the USA game…. I’ll be wearing my England shirt…. I reckon the locals will appreciate that…

Wales should have equalised.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:26 pm

Should be level.

Anyone noticed the stats? Number of Receptions, defensive line breaks. I don’t even know what they mean !

Not surs, but that might be the queue for the bar?

Assuming everyone will beat Iran, they really need something from this.

It's a poor advert for international football when Keiffer Moore changes the game.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:28 pm

Roberts been decent for Wales.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:28 pm

Be disappointing if Wales don't beat this lot.

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:33 pm

Both teams look quite short on quality.

The US look a fit and mobile team.

Trying to work out which team Hartson is rooting for.

I’m missing someone obvious but who was the last Burnley player to play in the World Cup?

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:36 pm

Bale and Ramsey have been the worst players on the pitch.

Carwin261 · Post by **Carwin261** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:37 pm

Roberts giving me similar thoughts as when he plays for us ,seems to be stuck in no man’s land ,doesn’t seem to be fullback,winger,or wingback,although I think he’s playing ok,

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:38 pm

I agree Bale has been poor.

Neco Williams has been pretty good

Why does the ref stop play when a usa players drops to the pitch

Roberts doing fine. His use of the ball is very good as befits a Burnley player!

They’ve been a lot better this half Wales. Roberts been excellent.

Get in deserved

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:44 pm

Apparently Gareth Bale is a genius for scoring a penalty

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:44 pm

how badly did the manager get it wrong in the first half ?!

karatekid · Post by **karatekid** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:45 pm

Do you think the commentator likes Gareth Bale?

Think he's just messed himself.
God knows what he'll do if they get a winner.

Johnson to get the winner!

These US fans are booing every tine a player goes down - were they not watching when they did it?

Stalbansclaret · Post by **Stalbansclaret** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:56 pm

You'd think Bale had scored a hat-trick of Scorpion kicks listening to Tyldesley and Harston waxing lyrical about his "genius" . He's done next to nothing bar score a penalty.
Roberts has been very decent and one of their best players on the night imho.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:56 pm

The commentary is so patronising towards Wales. Cringeworthy even for Tyldesley’s standards.

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:58 pm

64 years, let them enjoy a bit of hype.

Good result for keeping the group exciting.

Decent second half from Wales. Deserved at least a draw.

NRC · Post by **NRC** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 9:02 pm

Deserved the draw, Bale looks like a spent force but he still has moments of quality. Roberts played well

dvalley69 · Post by **dvalley69** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 9:05 pm

shame about the tackle on Bale at the end. He was lining up to knock it in from the halfway line; that would have been some story!

TopCat · Post by **TopCat** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 9:07 pm

Why wasn’t Ream booked for his challenge on Bale? (Already booked as well)

Don't worry. We are used to it. We are treated like England's pet cat at times like this.

I feel totally knackered. Not really felt like that since sheff u play off final. Euro 2016 was just fun by comparison.

Tommy Cassidy played alongside him but not sure if he was on our books that Summer.
The pair of them did a Q&A in the Centre Spot early the next season.

maidenover · Post by **maidenover** » Mon Nov 21, 2022 9:13 pm

Good game from Connor, both defensively and on attack. Seems like he plays right back when defending and right wing back on attack - a bit like he is for us. I reckon a solid 7 or possible 8 in our Player Rating System
