Hugo Lloris was only tested twice by the Welsh, and on both occasions, he managed to create a second ball for his opponents. Further evidence – were it needed – that the Frenchman is rapidly approaching that point in his career where he is no longer France’s number one.
Gareth Bale ‘came close’ is that is your definition of ‘close’, of course…
Bale managed an hour for Wales, and was able to only summon up 36% in the overarching ‘total/successful actions’ discipline.
For me, this sums the boy up. No regular football for a few weeks and he’s not bothering to keep in shape – again. For perspective, the 31-year-old’s worst showing in his last 8 games for anyone.
