Poor body language

[hc16040]

How long left on Pages contract?

[hooky]

We are playing against a team who just want to kill time to get to the final whistle and we have zero penrtration against them

This is beyond embarrassing

Please go Page and take Gunter and the rest of your mates

[manulike]

Good job that I stayed in Budapest :+))
Even the u17s scored a goal at least!

[hc16040]

Crews not ready yet, kids got talent but gives the ball away constantly.

[aberbeeg]

This match will be one of the nails in Pages coffin for sure. Utter embarrassment

[surge]

We've mostly played it like it's a game we didn't want to be involved in which is understandable but not a good reflection of the management.

Koumas and James are ones who injected a bit of life into proceedings, Low has competed and Colwill/Matondo flashed potential.

[hooky]

He has to go

Thanks for embarrassing us again

[dai]

Having a little chuckle to myself. So bad it's laughable.

[foxmulder]

As bad as this is, calm down!

This is clearly being treated as a work out. None of the players are interested in going full pelt for an end of season friendly with Gib.

[hc16040]

Is this the darkest day in Welsh football?

[hooky]

Go go go go go

and just

go ...

He is not even a league manager seriously

[vaulksthrowfanclub]

Disgusting result. Page needs to go. He should resign if he has any self respect.

[aberbeeg]

Utter shambles , no tactics yet again. Page sat on the floor like a Taylor dummy through out the 90mins.

We have just failed to score against a team that would struggle against a Sunday league team.

He won't be getting the sack. He's a yes man. Ticks the right boxes for the association.

Cheap yes man but shocking manager. If he had any credibility left that’s just left town big time. What a shovel of crap 

[fiveattheback]

4 shots on target against Gibraltar ffs

[hooky]

Page has made us the butt of all jokes for our British and Irish cousins

Estonia
Armena
Latvia
Belarus
and now
Gibraltar

You can be unfortunate once but someone has to take responsibility at some point when it becomes a pattern

I watch every single game but I did not even check what time it would be on as I expected a poor performance but even I did not expect to not score a single goal against that shower of shit today. The worst thing of all is we did not even look likely to score

Those that press the case for Cullen, Savage, Sheehan, Burns, etc, please don't in future as such selections allied with no coaching produce that kind of shambles. Sheehan for captain - tells you everything you need to know about mastermind Page. Of and Sorba is nowhere near good enough to get into that squad of course!

[iot]

Well that was a thoroughly unenjoyable watch. Just not good enough. We only managed 3 or 4 half decent chances throughout the game, there's no excuse for such poor attacking play.

[hooky]

You have a budget

What do you do?

Get in good guy Gunter - more of the same. FFS

Why do we have to self harm like this? What other British or Irish national team get themselves in such a position as we are in?

I hope everyone realise our success under Page was due to Bale and Ramsey, helped by some decent pros and as I said well before tonight - we have ZERO CHANCE OF GETTING CLOSE TO THE WC UNDER PAGE. Its so depressing

[1gwaunview]

Complete rubbish!!
That's a ninety minutes + of crap.
Gwarddus.

[winsumluzsum]

Easy to over-react, but that was dire. Literally one moment of quality in 90 minutes (Koumas effort). Totally unacceptable. France beat them 14 - 0 recently, which puts that performance into context.

Page clearly failed tactically and motivationally. Very poor from him. Dasilva had a decent game, but Koumas was the only Cymru player to show any sort of spark.

[wft]

Remember when the fun stops stop!

[winsumluzsum]

Against a team that defends with 10 men behind the ball you need someone in the Jonny Williams mold to dribble at the opposition and invite fouls if nothing else. Koumas was that player and should have come on earlier as a 10. Why couldn't Page see that?

[hooky]

We have seen he is tactically clueless. I assume we will be checking out other managers now as this is painful and pointless now

We have maybe 5% chance of qualifying for the WC with another coach but zero percent if Page remains in charge. That is the truth. I have not listened to any of his interviews or read his comments for 18 months or so now as I don't respect anything he says. He is earning £300-400k to makes us worse than the sum of our parts!

until the end of the 2026 WC campaign

[dai]

Even OTJ said on Sgorio that 'this will give more ammo to those who want Page out, and who can blame them'.

Noel wanted him out but the players bailed him out with that incredible Croatia performance. Noel and we were right. I hope Keane for the job was a joke as that would have been a disaster but we need someone with experience as its one thing not to qualify but we need to avoid a collapse and getting back to the mentality of the bad Wales where players pulled out of squads on mass. 

[CymruFach]

I think the women would have beaten them
