#5 Wales must be more effective upfront
Trending
They may have got away with an own-goal, but Wales know that they must be more purposeful when they play in the attacking third. Sam Vokes didn’t have a good game, failing to muster a shot in the first half and missing a reasonably good chance moments before being substituted off. Gareth Bale was busy but was kept well quiet by the Northern Irish defenders till his fierce cross which resulted in the goal. Hal Robson-Kanu couldn’t impact the game as a substitute after replacing Vokes.
Chris Coleman must find new ideas for Wales to break open defences if they are to get through the upcoming knockout games. Relying heavily on the defenders is a high-risk move, so it is imperative that the likes of Bale, Vokes and Robson-Kanu improve their game upfront and get right behind defences.
