Nope it was Kante or Xhaka IIRC.Absolutely. If Arsenal got Kante (who’s agent was begging us to sign him) instead of Mustafi in the summer of 2016 like Wenger wanted I wonder what could have been.

Well, in that case I wonder what would have happened with Kante instead of Xhaka. A midfield of Kante, Cazorla, Özil and Ramsey with Sanchez up top would have won us the league.Nope it was Kante or Xhaka IIRC.
Surprised by just how much the Swiss dominate this match. Would have thought Wales would give this more of a go.
Big time it’s been one way traffic. They were very positive early bet for that 2nd placeSurprised by just how much the Swiss dominate this match. Would have thought Wales would give this more of a go.
Seferovic ain't scoring.That should be 1-0. What a let off
More reason why players go down. Although I didn’t think it was a penaltyEmbolo was getting mugged in the box and Swiss still almost scored

Switzerland are a great team, I don’t know why people are surprised. They reached the nations league semis in 2019, and took points of both Spain and Germany last fall. Well coached with a strong midfield and good ball playing defenders in the build up
Wales are also not aggressive at all against the ball. That allows Switzerland to play the way they like to with deliberate methodical build-up. It's one thing for Wales to approach this as a counter-attacking team, but you need to do a bit of pressing to win the ball to get those chances in transition and Wales aren't trying to do much of anything. It looks like they're happy to trust that the Swiss forwards live up to their reputation of ineffectiveness.

Eh, the swiss just have good ball playing defenders & allow Xhaka to the time/space that he needs...while Wales just isn't very good. Pressing more aggressively could easily just exhaust the welsh while opening things up for the swiss.
