One of our own.
Ben Davies has made 98 appearances for Wales since his debut against Scotland in October 2012. He made his debut for Premier League Swansea in August 2012 having developed through their Academy.

Gareth Bale 111

Chris Gunter 109

Wayne Hennessey 109

Ben Davies 98

Barring injury he should join the existing elite three centurions on 100 caps in the upcoming two games.
 
England:

3-0
19’ Saka.
England running riot. Wales players standing off them, afraid to engage, just sitting back and watching?
England playing straight through Wales, what tactics are these?
Absolutely hopeless.
 
Wales players woke up for a few minutes and we actually had a first shot on goal, Wilson (over the bar).
HT: 3-0
I don’t understand why we are playing this match if we are not prepared to participate. We are only going through the motions so far.
 
Wales unchanged second-half. Kicking off straight back to the goalkeeper.
51’ Rogers hits the bar
55’ Brooks shot, Pickford saves with his foot, Moore heads over the bar

FT: 3-0
At least we competed second-half, albeit with substitutions, whatever was said at half-time by Bellamy.
Overall though a disappointing display by Wales.
I can’t see the point in playing your best players and them not even competing and conceding three goals. How is that good for moral going into a big game next Monday?
