Starting 11 Tuesday

I was quite clear in my mind that against USA and Iran, we needed to play a fit hard working 11. In other words match the opposition. And Bale and Ramsey would have been reasonably “fresh” to put in more effort against England.In the event Page started with Ramsey Wilson and Bale. Imo a major error.
But the past is past.
What next???
Who starts???
We are all pleased our country made it to the World Cup. Against England Win (highly unlikely) or lose(likely) I want to feel proud of our players and I want them to give a good account of themselves. I defo think Johnson should start (and some like Ben Davies and Roden Neco Williams etc)
BUT (unlike the first 2 games), I’m not sure the 11 I would play???
SUGGESTIONS?

Imagine we had played the first two games without Bale and Rambo and had one point.

We would have had the same idiots on here who have moaned about them moaning they hadn’t played. That’s the MO of them.

Fickle as fook.

You’re absolutely right but, I was happy for them to start first game v USA as I assumed they’d be match fit, and neither were. Both lined up v Iran and whereas I would have started with GB as he scores goals even when not match fit, I would have definitely dropped AR.
What did you think of their performances after game 1 and 2? Same as me?

Against a young and quick USA neither Ramsey or Bale played well. Although Bale did score a great pen when under huge pressure. I said before the match that both shouldn’t start. You just can’t expect to win World Cup matches with 2 unfit players.

Then Page went with them (and Wilson again!) against Iran. Bale was almost anonomous and Ramsey was poor (misplaced passes and yards off the pace).
The question is Bale and Ramsey / Bale or Ramsey/ or neither.??
Against England perhaps the emphasis will not be so much on energy and fitness. In my view you could make a case for starting with one of them for 60 mins. (In theory Page should be able to assess their fitness and who could play).
I think both should not start.
Also please play Johnson from the start and please do not start Wilson in midfield.Lets give them a game and go for it.
Start with something like….
Ward
Roberts Mepham Davies Williams

Ampadou Morrell and
Bale (Creative mid)

Johnson James
Moore

Egs of Options off bench incl Thomas Ramsey Colwell and Wilson
