Cant believe we lost to that average pile of shite. Embarrassing.
Ref was bought.
James needs dropping. Apart from chasing the ball offers very little now.
Why cant anyone cross the fucking ball?
I thought Poland was a country of hard men not a bunch of diving poofs.

I think Positives from the game are that Colwill and Sorba both looked excellent coming on.

Szczesny’s reading of our crosses is unbelievable! Credit where it's due he was fantastic tonight, he read everything perfectly. |

Oh well 1 point out of 18 kinda tells us we are not really at this level I think we put all our eggs in the World Cup basket. Scotland would love to be us! We’re going to Qatar Yeah in a group with Netherlands and Belgium we never lost by more than one and had circumstances outside of our control against us. That being said, next time round we might have been in trouble in league A depending on who retires after the world cup |

Colwill starts for me, came on and made us look better immediately. The lad knows how to win a decent freekick and is not afraid to take his man on.
Him and Brennan are the future.

Poles knew how to "play the game" and I don't mean football.
Why did it take Dan James 80 minutes before he started running at the full back?
Apart from Connor's "head injury" moment thought he was poor overall.
How does Morrell not get in Portsmouth's team?
I am not looking forward to a future without Ramsey, Bale, Allen, Davies, these youngsters will have to come on leaps and bounds to replace those four and at this moment in time I can't see it.

Some of it was risky by him at the end, but he had obviously decided by then that our forwards (or James at least) were not quick-thinking enough to outwit and wrong-foot him. Once the crosser pulled back to shoot, Szczesny started moving in the direction he thought the ball was going to go, and he was right each time. That done, reaching the ball was easy once it came - no flying needed! Extremely impressive (but as I said, risky against cleverer opponents… but he’s always been willing to play a risky game) |

Cabango was good for 99% of the game, but unfortunately lost his man for the goal. Hopefully something he can learn from. Rodon was good defensively, but just not good enough on the ball, clear to see why he doesn't have a future at a top club. RND has been one of the biggest disappointments over the two games. From a really impressive few games in the summer and getting a lot of praise for Sheff Utd in a back 3, he was responsible for giving away so many chances over the two games. I thought Brennan and DJ, despite the stick, were very good. But I really hate the 523 formation. That would be my main criticism of Page, he insists on making us weak in the middle by cramming in as many forwards as he can. It just makes us so imbalanced. Colwill was great when he came on. He should have started as a 10. I thought Levitt and Morrell were decent, although obviously completely overrun so didn't see as much of the ball as they should have.

Final ball was desperately poor tonight when in good positions, you can't keep doing that if you want to win football matches.

Lewandowski should be ashamed also. A player of that talent acting the way he did tonight, shameful. I felt I'd be impressed by him but despite his excellent assist I'm more or less disgusted.
Not a patch on KDB.

I got a lot of Polish friends. They are some of the most honest straight forward people I've ever met, the actions from the majority of the team was borderline cringeworthy.
I know there's dark arts and being streetwise, which I don't mind, but those lads tonight took it to a stage that was almost comical and the ref ate it up.
I actually wish Poland just straight up outclassed us as having friends from there they are a country I like to see doing well.

His touch on the ball is just too heavy and can put him in all sorts of trouble at times. He also hesitated making simple clearances on a few occasions, one of which Rodon got particularly animated about in the second half. |

I hate to say it but it does seem like our time with Bale starting is negatively affecting our overall performance we're not the team we were and players like Colwill or Moore bring so much more to the table for overall play. |

I actually wish Poland just straight up outclassed us as having friends from there they are a country I like to see doing well. To be fair the ref was piss poor tonight. The merest suggestion of contact in a challenge was a foul all night. Then when James got absolutely clattered at the byline he gave nothing  |

We looked like headless chickens and made Poland look a top 5 team at times.
Playing in the Championship clearly brings Conor's standard down. He was awful. Neco was not as impactful as usual these last 2 games
As mentioned Levitt was a non entity. Norrington Davies was poor too in my opinion.
Wish James had more end product but he creates so much potential with his pace.
As mentioned Sorba excellent when he came on - maybe we replace Roberts with him?
Word on Page - tonight showed why you do not base football decisions on loyalty. I wish we could have seen Luke Harris at some point over the last 2 games and while Colwil was a bit hit and miss when he came on - we can't play a game against a top team without creativity, which he can provide. Class over quality every time please
Based on tonight's performance then we have zero right to be in the top tier. Hope we were just poor and overwhelmed by the occasion otherwise Qatar could end up being a disaster. Brennan was the only player on the pitch wearing red who looked a class act.

As well as Colwill, I have to say I thought Sorba made a real positive impact when he came on too.

How on earth did their lad get away with assault on Dan James by the way? And then he gets in Bale's face because his teammate broke a nail. Better team on the night but a team of utter c***s. I'll enjoy watching them get sent home early as usual from Qatar...and I´ve got Polish heritage! |

No one going to mention how completely uninfluential Bale was?
Not sure if he should have stayed on for the entire 90.

My mum's parents were Polish.
I kind of want them to do well in tournaments but the last 35 years they have been rubbish.
They looked quality in managing the game and better footballers but is that because they are good and better footballers than us or is it how poor we were tonight?
Spare a thought for how well Hungary have gone and how terrible we have been results wise in this league

A lot of positives tonight.
Cabango did really well, not sure he's there yet but a decent option in the squad, just needs to stop letting the ball bounce.
Morrell looked like 2016 Allen, never thought he had that in him. Hope he keeps pushing on.
Johnson looks like he'll be a massive player for us.
I think we have every piece of the puzzle in place going into the World Cup. Just need a bit of luck along the way.
