Craig Bellamy on Lewis Koumas, “The type of forward he is, the intensity he plays at, I adore. If you could send me a forward, he’s my forward. “He’s a player I adore, he dips in, dips out, looks to stretch.” “I feel Liverpool are handling him incredibly well, which is definitely gonna benefit our country” 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Craig Bellamy on Joe Duncan, “I see a lot of quality that’s gonna allow him to play at a higher level, he’s really good with the ball at his feet” “I see a kid who could be an important player in the future for Wales” 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Love him or hate him, he’s not wrong here at all. Having five important players missing while playing four games against top opposition across two weeks was always going to be a huge ask. Could he have made better decisions at times? Absolutely. But let’s not pretend anyone wouldn’t have bitten your hand off to come out of this international break sitting 3rd. We could’ve also easily come away with five points if it weren’t for two silly individual errors, the missed chance against Portugal and Ward’s mistake against Denmark. Criticism is fair but perspective is key.
