Anyone see it?
It sounds like Wales didn't really offer much going forward, so not much of a test of his defensive credentials, perhaps, but he scored a thunderous freekick and it sounds like he had a decent shot or two as well.
Very brief highlights here:

Morning Kimchi
I watched the whole game from a Spurs point of view , Vert was pretty good and scored a rasping free kick , Bale was M.O.M by miles and TBH felt sorry that he had to try to do everything himself witha bit of help from Ramsey

Thanks a lot for that squid, I guess this was probably discussed here a fair bit last night but I missed it.
Good to hear Bale was great, that didn't really come across in the report I read Shame he put all that effort in with so little support.

I would imagine you will get a bit of club bias creeping in ...Take no notice
When Wales went down to 10 men Vert almost switched from a C.B to a right winger TBH he did fine and created a bit of panic for the Welsh defence , Dembele had a very quiet nught did nothing wrong but the game seemed to pass him by a little , hopefully that's more the position he played

Club bias? Shame on you squid
Verty sounds better and better going forward, but I'm not hearing much about his defensive side, let's hope that's not the weaker side of his game. It sounds like he may be more of a midfielder, possibly a great DM, and we're not exactly short of those!

Actually I was slightly wrong he went onto the LEFT All Wales best stuff came from Bale on the opposite side of the field .....As for his defensive side he wasn't really called into action , he did make a few errors during pre season but nothing really awful and I'll put that down to needing time to settle in....The more I see of him the more I like him

Thanks again squid, also good to hear Bale stuck to the left
Yeah he'll need time to settle for sure.
