Russia have been one of the worst teams of the Euros so far.

If we turn up like we did against Slovakia I can see us scoring at least 2. :ayatollah:

We need a massive improvement on the way we played against England if we want anything. You can't defend for 90 minutes and expect to win games, it's happened a couple of times now we're running out of luck

Agree, we need more from the wide areas to relieve the pressure on us. Dropping Neil Taylor would help the team imo

Something needs to happen because with bale not getting involved it looks like we don't have anything else in our locker.

We need to go 4 at the back to allow an extra attacking midfielder to play ( Jonny Williams) . Can't sit back against Russia , they appear quite blunt and slow in attack so we need to attack them

their centre backs are in mid 30s - pace is the answer against them.

I agree... Would hate for us to go with a conservative game plan like against the English ..

Lets be honest against England we were never going to match them and it would haver taken a shock result to beat them even a draw would have been lucky. It wasnt so much the way we set up to play we were ran ragged by the quality of their squad.
I think many got carried away when we beat Slovakia and thought we are better than we actually are.
I think Wales will have more possesion against Russia and more chances it will be about making them count
