Just had a good moan about it too.Anyone else getting fed up with the need to call Keiffer Moore by his full name every time he touches the ball?

I like the zulu songsThat Welsh crowd are doing my tits in.
Every shitey wee foul is met by howls of derision as if their player had been chopped in two.
Rugga old boy.....The Welsh are all sound as f*ck.
Had a great weekend there for the six Nations last year.
Croatia's attack was pretty pedestrian tonight, their passing and possession play tho' top drawer.
Barisic would get a solid 7/10 - did nothing wrong.

Passes back to the centre half too much, needs to try find forward pass a bit more but more than held his own
Just felt like his first instinct is to just play the safe pass rather than look for it. Think he does the same for us aswell.He passed the ball back a lot of the time because when Vidal and Rakitic eventually got the ball to him, he was either closed down or Perisic wasn't in a position to be picked out. Rakitic and Modric sat deep.

Why do commentators insist on apologising for naughty words sung by fans or heard pitchside? A pet hate of mine.
Jeezo a thought he was only 24, maybe not young then but defo has to look to get the ball forward moreWhit? Only young? He’s 27 next month. Young to me LOL but at his peak in football terms.
He ensured his team kept possession. Simple as that.

In the footsteps of that other great consistently reliable Balkan left-back whom I have to say it was a joy to see strutting his stuff yesterday.Has to be said, Barasic had another very solid performance at an International level. He is a very good player and is going to continue to be for many a year to come.

Surely you mean Arrykane?I am led to believe that Spurs and England strikers surname is Harrykane.
So annoying.

Some seem to want every pass and every move to be an attacking, offensive, constructive one.Whit? Only young? He’s 27 next month. Young to me LOL but at his peak in football terms.

What other options do Croatia have at LB out of interest?
He seems to have made that spot his own recently.
I dare say every team in Croatia will have a left-back for starters.
I literally did ask for that

Thanks - appreciate the comprehensive answerWell, Ivan Strinić was their regular left back but was diagnosed with a heart condition. He's recently been released by Milan and is currently without a club. At 32 it's hard to see him coming back at international level.
Dario Melnjak would now be Barišić's main rival but he's hardly setting the heather alight in Turkey at the moment and has only one cap although he makes most squads.
It does seem the left back position is Barišić's to lose right now.
Whit utter dug meat goal was down the other sideSolid performance, although if I was being harsh I'd suggest he could have got tighter to the guy that played in Bale for his goal. Seem to switch off for a split second.
Watch it again and watch who is marking the guy who plays it back in for Bale to finish.Whit utter dug meat goal was down the other side
I was hoping some of Barisic’s most aggressive critics would be in these threads delighted for him. But conspicuous by their absence, it seems they may actually be more irked by his upturn in form which seems a bit mental. But then with the level of venom aimed at him previously maybe I really shouldn’t be surprised.
It’s brilliant to see him doing so well, long may it continue.
Mate its an opinion am not saying he is a bad player just an opinion of mine that last night and in a a few of our games i feel he is too quick to just play the ball back to the centre back. Rather than look up and see whats infront a few times last night he just passed the ball straight back to the centre half.Why?
When?
For Croatia tonight?
When the player(s) in front of him are available to take a pass.
When his coach wants him to?
Its true. The fact he has stopped doing it so much for us is part of why his form has changed, being braver on the ball & seeing the rewards of it.Mate its an opinion am not saying he is a bad player just an opinion of mine that last night and in a a few of our games i feel he is too quick to just play the ball back to the centre back.

Remember the dark days in 2013 2014 odd when we had no international call ups to this.
How I love where we are right now.
Barasic, Morelos, Kamara, Jones, Airbo, Katic.
m8he is not marking. He is shielding. To suggest the goal came from him not marking another persons man close enough is pants.
Seems some find it hard to give credit, just read another post saying he did not really play well. omfg. He did his fkin job. And done what was needed.
