:00:31. > :00:37.A week is a long time in football. Especially if you are Chris Coleman.
:00:37. > :00:43.Gareth Bale, the most expensive player ever. From Madrid to Cardiff.
:00:43. > :00:47.The superstar arrives in Wales, as Coleman moves a step closer to
:00:47. > :00:53.signing a new deal. There won't be a problem. I should be signing a
:00:53. > :00:57.contract very soon. Wales manager Chris Coleman has arrived yesterday,
:00:57. > :01:03.having been unable to travel with the squad yesterday, because he lost
:01:03. > :01:07.his passport. He forgets his passport, Wales lose
:01:07. > :01:10.and Wales stays on the bench. Sneefs never going to be available at the
:01:10. > :01:16.start of the gym. At best he would have come on for maybe half an hour.
:01:16. > :01:22.Then the former assistant coach brands the FAW a joke. I wouldn't
:01:22. > :01:28.get carried away with what he says about my staff and me. What a night
:01:28. > :01:36.in Serbia. Swaels battered 6-1 the last time the two countries met.
:01:36. > :01:41.Wales, desperate for a win. Would Serbia's players come unstuck at the
:01:41. > :01:44.Cardiff City Stadium. Well the bus door am gentlemaned.
:01:44. > :01:48.Not the best start for the visitors. Good evening, a disastrous World Cup
:01:48. > :01:52.campaign. Over a year ago we thought tonight's match with Serbia would be
:01:52. > :01:57.crucial on the road to Rio. How wrong we were. Delighted to welcome
:01:57. > :02:01.Neil Taylor to the Match Of The Day Wales studio. The thoughts of Neil
:02:01. > :02:07.and Ewan Roberts coming up. First to the Cardiff City stadium. Will will
:02:07. > :02:14.see car gar oath Bale in a Wales' shirt tonight? We'll find out
:02:14. > :02:27.tonight. Over to the commentators. Gareth Bale is on the bench again:
:02:27. > :02:34.Serbia hit by suspensions make four changes in the sued, captained by
:02:34. > :02:38.Branislav Ivanovic. -- in the side. They include the Manchester City
:02:38. > :02:45.pair Matija Nastasic and Aleksandar Kolarov. Tadic, Bisevac, Radovanovic
:02:45. > :02:56.and Filip Djordjevic all come in. So, it's been a testing few days for
:02:56. > :03:04.Chris Coleman. And Serbia here will look to prolong his discomfort. A
:03:04. > :03:16.win for Wales, though, would maybe be signs of a brighter future. A
:03:16. > :03:22.much-altered side. Five changes and plenty for this Welsh side to prove.
:03:22. > :03:29.They won't lack motivation, after a 6-1 defeat a year ago. Against this
:03:29. > :03:34.very same Serbian team. It'll be interesting. It has been interesting
:03:34. > :03:39.already with the line-up that Coleman has actually chosen. Not
:03:39. > :03:45.maybe the players he has chosen but the places he is playing, Ben Davis
:03:45. > :03:50.playing as a centreback for the fist time in his career and also King and
:03:50. > :03:55.Crofts a pairing in midfield which would allow Ramsey to roam about.
:03:55. > :03:59.They do have a focus upfront. It's Sam Vokes who heads down for Aaron
:03:59. > :04:04.Ramsey. Ramsey chips it across the box.
:04:04. > :04:14.A good break for Bellamy. He was trying to thread that through to
:04:14. > :04:31.Bellamy but overhit the pass. What a better sign.
:04:31. > :04:38.That was given way aon the edge of the Welsh penalty area. Not a good
:04:38. > :04:42.sign. They were fortunate that Markovic, one of the three Benfica
:04:42. > :04:49.players in the Serb starting lane of had up, was off target with that
:04:49. > :04:58.effort. -- starting line-up. A big let-off. He lets it past him. It was
:04:58. > :05:02.like the mistake on Friday. But what a poor finish. A little bit of a
:05:02. > :05:18.left-off. Markovic really should have hit the target.
:05:18. > :05:28.Ramsey trying to do it all by himself and Stojkovic was called
:05:28. > :05:34.into action. He was trying to play a one-two with
:05:34. > :05:39.his Celtic team-mate there but it didn't work.
:05:39. > :05:52.That was the a good cross by Kolarov and a decent safe by Myhill. They
:05:52. > :05:55.turned it in at the second attempt. They waited for a flag. None
:05:55. > :06:01.arrived. Serbia have a brilliant start. A great strike. The cross
:06:01. > :06:05.straight away from Kolarov. A great run. Crofts doesn't stay with him.
:06:05. > :06:15.He gets into a position where he whips a lovely cross in. I think
:06:15. > :06:19.Croft is playing the player on-side. The players for Wales are standing
:06:19. > :06:25.about wondering why he is not off-side. The reason being Andrew
:06:25. > :06:28.Croft plays him on. Good save initially by Myhill. Then it was
:06:28. > :06:53.headed across him and he had no chance.
:06:53. > :07:03.Oh, problems here for Wales. It took a rescue by Andy King. That was
:07:03. > :07:07.poor. Myhill really should be kicking that. He has put undue
:07:07. > :07:10.pressure there on Andy King. That is poor. He has recovered well, has
:07:10. > :07:20.King. These are difficult times for Wales.
:07:20. > :07:32.Plenty of shoving in that penalty area. It's crowded around that
:07:32. > :07:38.penalty spot. Standing room only. The The corner was driven through a
:07:38. > :07:43.crowd of players. That was Tadic, the FC20 player. That was a great
:07:43. > :07:55.shot. There are a lot of bodies there. Anything could have happened.
:07:55. > :08:20.That's what the crowd wanted to see. That's more than he did on Friday.
:08:20. > :08:26.When they lose it, it takes an awful long time to get the ball back.
:08:26. > :08:50.This is Tadic. Wales struggling 1-0.
:08:50. > :08:53.A gel now would really put things almost out of their reach. It wasn't
:08:53. > :08:56.far away from Ivanovic. A free header. That will worry Chris
:08:56. > :09:13.Coleman. Week-in and week-out he plays for
:09:13. > :09:27.Chelsea. He will be disappointed he hasn't hit the target.
:09:27. > :09:33.1-0 Wales trail. Joe Ledley trying to put things right. Ramsey. King is
:09:33. > :09:51.on inside. Matthews on the outside. A good cross.
:09:51. > :09:55.That was a lovely ball. If anything a little bit of a foul. He has
:09:55. > :10:33.defended well. So close again. Good defending once
:10:33. > :10:36.again from Serbia. It wasn't a bad cross. Wales are maintaining the
:10:37. > :10:45.pressure with Ramsey. This is much better. Much more flu
:10:45. > :10:51.ency in the Welsh play going forward. Bellamy on the ball again.
:10:51. > :11:03.That might enthuse the crowd a little.
:11:03. > :11:34.Oh, a poor header away. That was good tackling by Crofts there. Wales
:11:34. > :11:43.profit more from there. Is he onside? He is. No, Stojkovic was
:11:43. > :11:46.quick to advance. He was unlucky, I felt he drifted into an onside
:11:46. > :11:57.position. It was touch and go. Can he throw himself at it?
:11:57. > :12:06.Ledley. Davis intervenes. Ramsey again.
:12:06. > :12:14.Driven out wide. He goes to ground. Was he caught after the... That was
:12:14. > :12:21.a little push after that, by the player.
:12:21. > :12:29.What has happened there. He has left the pitch and put his feet on... See
:12:29. > :12:38.him slip. See his foot go underneath him.
:12:38. > :12:56.I understand why the crowd are booing. He shows his frustration. As
:12:56. > :13:01.he's gone in. The player has come in. He has jumped. He has taken his
:13:01. > :13:09.legs from underneath him. It's a dangerous challenge this.
:13:09. > :13:18.Wales have given the ball away again. This is dangerous. Myhill
:13:18. > :13:24.comes to the rescue. He should have buried that, shouldn't he? Well,
:13:24. > :13:31.giving the ball away, once again. Croft under pressure. He brings it
:13:31. > :13:39.inside. Nice pass. Should be a finish. Should be two goals up
:13:39. > :13:46.should be Serbia. That's poor play there, playing the ball in. At the
:13:46. > :13:50.moment they are architects of their own downfall very largely, Wales,
:13:50. > :13:54.aren't they? Giving the ball away in bad areas. 1-0 they trail. Could
:13:54. > :13:59.have been more, should have been more.
:13:59. > :14:12.Oh, what a goal! It's a huge task for Wales now. He scored against
:14:12. > :14:20.Wales before. He buried that one from distance here in Cardiff. It's
:14:20. > :14:25.Wales 0, Serbia 2. It doesn't surprise me, not from this player
:14:25. > :14:30.anyway. He has a tremendous left foot. He has plenty of time. I tell
:14:30. > :14:35.you what, he has a fairway to beat the keeper. It's not just the power
:14:35. > :14:41.of the shot. It's just the direction of it as well. He has no pressure on
:14:41. > :14:48.him what so ever. He can have a touch, adjust his body. Does he hit
:14:48. > :14:55.it. Wow, does he hit it! I don't think Wales can complain too much.
:14:55. > :15:02.Big hugs from the manager. He's under pressure as well. He hasn't
:15:02. > :15:06.had an away win. Well, they are on the road to one here. Wales respond
:15:06. > :15:19.quickly. Ledley. Good ball by Ledley into a restored
:15:19. > :15:27.Ramsey. A little header. It just goes wide. He was coming back on
:15:27. > :15:34.himself Sam Vokes. Good run by Ledley. Serbia have gone deep. Vokes
:15:34. > :15:39.has to come back a little bit, to get his head on it. Much for Chris
:15:40. > :15:44.Coleman to think of and talk about during the half-time break. He has a
:15:44. > :15:49.lot to think. What does he do, substitution wise? Does he bring on
:15:49. > :15:56.Gareth Bale? Does does he leave him on the bench? -- does he leave him
:15:56. > :16:25.on the bench. Really powerful down this right hand
:16:25. > :16:32.side. The referee from Poland, 32-year-old businessman. He is going
:16:32. > :16:39.to show a yellow card to Andrew Crofts. That means he is out of the
:16:39. > :16:45.last home qualifier next month against Macedonia. Just Macedonia at
:16:45. > :16:52.home and Belgium away. It's not a great prospect for Chris Coleman.
:16:52. > :17:02.Crofts is the first player booked. He was one of those on yellow peril.
:17:02. > :17:08.More worrying for Wales, it is a free-kick. That won't worry them too
:17:08. > :17:17.much. The Serban set-piece didn't work very well.
:17:17. > :17:30.Picks out Ramsey. A chance for Aaron Ramsey. He drives it. Never really
:17:30. > :17:32.troubling the keeper. Great pass to him. I think he could have take
:17:32. > :18:08.continue on a little bit more. In comes Serbia again. They are
:18:08. > :18:23.working through the middle. It's driven in. It's 3-0. Chris Colem's
:18:23. > :18:32.night gets worse and worse. Craig Bellamy has to be aware of
:18:32. > :18:37.him. He drifted inside once again. Time after time they have had shots.
:18:37. > :18:47.In the end, he can't do anything about it.
:18:47. > :19:04.It's a great save, the fist one from Myhill. But he can't do anything
:19:04. > :19:11.about the second. The first one From Djordjevic, and the second one to
:19:11. > :19:15.Markovic. And Andy King gives way to the world's most expensive
:19:15. > :19:18.footballer. He has been on enough stages in the last week or so,
:19:19. > :19:25.Gareth Bale. But this is the stage that he loves. Well, what a story
:19:25. > :19:29.this would be. Somehow... No pressure, Gareth. I think it is a
:19:29. > :19:33.little bit far-fetched, even for Gareth to get us out of this. But it
:19:33. > :19:38.is always nice, isn't it, that people can see him. 32 minutes to
:19:38. > :19:42.go. Bale is already hungry, looking for
:19:42. > :19:47.the ball. He's just lifted this place. You wouldn't believe this
:19:48. > :19:49.crowd were watching their side 3-0 down ever since Gareth Bale has come
:19:49. > :20:05.on the pitch. It's how do you adjust?
:20:05. > :20:09.Where does Ledley go? It looks like they are going to a
:20:09. > :20:44.4-2-2 system. And Markovic, who scored the third
:20:44. > :20:58.goal, finds the man who scored the second goal, Koroman. Kolarov.
:20:58. > :20:59.Ben Davis is only 20. We keep saying it.
:20:59. > :21:12.He is a lovely player. Down through the middle. He is
:21:12. > :21:23.human. Here comes Serbia again. Markovic, he reads the game well.
:21:23. > :21:28.Ramsay with space. Gym opening up. Ledley down the left-hand side. --
:21:28. > :21:41.game opening up. Bale, shot.
:21:41. > :21:47.The goalkeeper is forced into it - Bale the second time but driven it
:21:47. > :21:52.wide. Well... That's why Real Madrid have paid that money for him. You
:21:52. > :21:57.know, just something, at your feet, hits it. A little bit of dip, a
:21:57. > :22:02.little bit of power. The keeper had to do his best to keep it out.
:22:02. > :22:06.Unfortunately not for the second chance. Look at this, out to his
:22:06. > :22:10.feet, not being closed down, a bit like Kolarov wasn't. He hits it. It
:22:11. > :22:25.might have taken a slight deflection off a defenders' back.
:22:25. > :22:31.Well he wasn't fit to contribute at all on Friday night. When it was
:22:31. > :22:43.1-0, he might have made the difference.
:22:43. > :23:11.Branislav Ivanovic goes on and Milivojevic is coming
:23:11. > :23:19.Coming on. The corner will be taken by the substitute.
:23:19. > :23:33.That seemed like a foul to start with, from Matthews. Bale again. Is
:23:33. > :23:41.there some magic? Can they get a consolation goal? They have to pass
:23:41. > :24:00.the ball there, Aaron Ramsey. Craig Bellamy frustrated.
:24:00. > :24:07.This is Bale trying to make something happen.
:24:07. > :24:14.I got the tackle in and Wales, after 78 minutes, win their first corner.
:24:14. > :24:22.It is a test. Just put it in and see what you can get. A great
:24:22. > :24:29.opportunity. Everybody has gone up from the back, Davis, and Gabbidon.
:24:29. > :24:37.It's hit outside the box, though. He couldn't get there. It's gone to
:24:37. > :24:41.Gunter. Ramsey is forward. He finds his captain.
:24:41. > :24:46.A dipping cross from Bellamy T it alludes all three of the Welsh
:24:46. > :24:57.players, though. He didn't do too well on the
:24:57. > :25:09.clearance, but well enough. Bale on the ball. Easily crosses one
:25:09. > :25:11.and another. The referee is pointing to Gareth Bale. I wonder whether he
:25:11. > :25:21.judges that a dive? If that's the case, gets booked for
:25:21. > :25:33.it and Gareth Bale is out of the Macedonia game at home. Now, wait.
:25:33. > :25:36.More worrying... No, it looks like the referee is... Looks like he is
:25:36. > :26:09.getting away with it now. It's a book booking for Fejsa. He
:26:09. > :26:16.might be coming off. Krsticic coming on. Like-for-like. Here he is with
:26:16. > :26:27.an opportunity here. An opportunity outside the box for Gareth Bale to
:26:27. > :26:34.wind up. -- Tadic coming off. Bale sizes up this free kick. He has
:26:34. > :26:42.11 goals for Wales. Hits it. Oh, almost through. Is nothing beyond
:26:42. > :26:48.this man? Well, watch this ball dip. I mean, he hits it and then it dips.
:26:48. > :26:55.It nearly catches the keeper out. That is a tremendous strike. They
:26:55. > :26:59.will love that in the Bernabeu. He has had half an hour to lighten up
:26:59. > :27:03.and brighten proceedings. He couldn't get Wales a goal but he's
:27:03. > :27:09.already come the closest to scoring in a Wales' shirt.
:27:09. > :27:16.Here he is again. Closely marked. Ramsey working his way down the
:27:16. > :27:22.middle. He flicks it on to Matthews, who
:27:22. > :27:26.crosses. Vokes - I don't think he knew too much about it, but it
:27:26. > :27:32.didn't go in anyway. The clearance comes off his legs but great run by
:27:32. > :27:34.Aaron Matthews. A decent ball in. I tell you what, that could have gone
:27:34. > :27:43.anywhere. WHISTLE
:27:43. > :27:49.Well, it's not 6-1 tonight but the boos will tell you it's another
:27:49. > :27:58.defeat for Wales. Gareth Bale made a late entry. That
:27:58. > :28:01.really the only highlight of an otherwise really disappointing night
:28:01. > :28:08.for Wales. Delight for Serbia. They pick up their first away win in the
:28:08. > :28:16.group and Wales look destined from bottom spot in Group A.
:28:16. > :28:20.Bale - and he has shown just why his adventure with Real Madrid could be
:28:20. > :28:28.so fulfilling for those fans at the Bernabeu but it has finished here at
:28:28. > :28:33.the Cardiff City Stadium, Wales 3, Serbia 3 -- Wales o 0.
:28:33. > :28:35.We have soon his left foot in the Premier League for Manchester City.
:28:35. > :28:39.This was the moment in the match. Aleksandar Kolarov with a stunning
:28:39. > :28:44.goal from 30 yards. Class, from Kolarov.
:28:44. > :28:47.Let's hear from the Wales' manager, Chris Coleman? I don't blame the
:28:47. > :28:52.supporters for being this disappointed. I don't blame them if
:28:52. > :28:58.they want to - some sections are calling for my head. I don't blame
:28:59. > :29:02.them, you know. They come, they are expectant and want to see a
:29:02. > :29:05.formerance at the very least. If we lose but have performed and put out
:29:05. > :29:08.they are not going to have that reaction. They were disappointed
:29:08. > :29:12.with the perform be as. We are. There is no hiding from that. I just
:29:12. > :29:15.felt after the Macedonia game we were scratching around for players
:29:15. > :29:18.because we have so many injuries and suspensions and you are calling up
:29:18. > :29:26.players that haven't been in the squad and they don't come. Which
:29:26. > :29:31.hurts. I don't want to be unfair but was James Collins on your list?
:29:32. > :29:36.James was out of the squad. Because I didn't want it change Sam Ricketts
:29:36. > :29:41.and Ashley Williams. They were doing very, very well. Danny goodbye done
:29:41. > :29:46.has been playing very well for Crystal Palace. Why change them?
:29:46. > :29:51.They came into the Ireland squad so they did very well. There was no
:29:51. > :29:55.place for James. James ex-played he didn't want to come into the squad
:29:55. > :29:59.after being on standby because psychologically he was disappointed.
:29:59. > :30:02.OK. But that's not the attitude I'm looking for. I'd rather someone turn
:30:03. > :30:07.up and say to me db you got it wrong, I should be in the squad.
:30:07. > :30:11.I'll really my sleeves up and prove you wrong. That's what I'm looking
:30:11. > :30:15.for. I didn't get that. It has to mean everything to come and play for
:30:15. > :30:18.Wales, if it doesn't, don't turn up. If you are turning up and have
:30:18. > :30:22.another agenda, don't turn up. We need everybody here, the Boss team
:30:23. > :30:26.we can get our hands on every game, friendlies, whatever they are,
:30:26. > :30:31.qualifiers. -- the best team. I said last year after the crow Asian
:30:31. > :30:38.games, after Wales I would like to work abroad again. I enjoyed working
:30:38. > :30:42.abroad. I learned a lot. -- crow Asian games. But I look at the
:30:43. > :30:47.players and I'm excited about what we can achieve and I genuinely think
:30:47. > :30:52.that this group of players, two years, four years, they can do
:30:52. > :30:55.something. And so, two games we have walked into where we are full of
:30:55. > :31:00.optimism, and we are coming away full of misery, really. So it's
:31:00. > :31:05.disappointed. A little bit soul-destroying.
:31:05. > :31:11.So, this is how Group A looks tonight: Wales bottom of the group:
:31:11. > :31:17.outthought, outplayed and outclassed by Serbia.
:31:17. > :31:23.Let's bring you right up-to-date with some of tonight's other matches
:31:23. > :31:27.in Group C. The Republic of Ireland needed a win. In Group F Northern
:31:27. > :31:34.Ireland, already out of the World Cup Mr Beaten 3-2: England stay top
:31:34. > :31:39.after a gelless draw with Ukraine. And Croatia, also in Wales' World
:31:39. > :31:45.Cup group, took on South Korea in a friendly, winning 2-1.
:31:45. > :31:49.Wales' under-21s were beaten in San Marino on Friday. Today a much
:31:49. > :31:54.better performance from Geraint Williams' team. It finished 0-0 in
:31:54. > :31:59.Moldova. So, a very warm welcome to Neil
:31:59. > :32:03.Taylor. Neil welcome to Match Of The Day Wales. It was painful to watch
:32:03. > :32:06.tonight. Yeah, it wasn't great. I think the manager has admitted that.
:32:06. > :32:13.: It was disappointing. We have come
:32:13. > :32:17.off a crest of good games where we played well. In the last two we
:32:17. > :32:22.could have done better. It is disappointed overall. Two poor goals
:32:22. > :32:26.and one unbelievable one. How many times have we sat in the studio and
:32:26. > :32:30.discussed yet another dreadful Wales' performance? Too many times.
:32:30. > :32:33.I think he was honest in his assessment of the game. He was spot
:32:33. > :32:37.on. The 11 that he putted out to start the game, I don't think they
:32:37. > :32:41.had the belief that they could go and beat Serbia tonight. Yes, we
:32:41. > :32:46.totally understand that there are key players out, but that first-half
:32:46. > :32:51.performance and the majority of the second half, until Gareth Bale come
:32:51. > :32:55.on wasn't good enough. You were at the Cardiff City Stadium tonight
:32:55. > :33:00.working for BBC Wales. The atmosphere looked after and pretty
:33:00. > :33:06.incompetent defending. All three goals were avoidable, I think. This
:33:06. > :33:09.was the first goal. Top it it is a great ball in. But then it is all
:33:09. > :33:14.about poor defending. A good initial header. It is a good save I think
:33:14. > :33:18.from Myhill but he puts it back into the danger area.
:33:18. > :33:22.I think he has to cope with that better. He puts it at least over the
:33:22. > :33:26.bar and he doesn't get the chance. I think going back early for that goal
:33:26. > :33:31.they hit us on the counterattack. It was a good counterattack. They will
:33:31. > :33:34.be happy. We were disappointed and how we recovered. Tfss avoidable.
:33:34. > :33:39.What we didn't see, we were attacking down the left-hand side.
:33:39. > :33:41.Adam mat use loses the ball and gives it away too sloppily. Ten
:33:41. > :33:45.seconds later it is in the back of gives it away too sloppily. Ten
:33:45. > :33:47.the net. We have seen Aleksandar Kolarov in the Premier League for
:33:47. > :33:51.Manchester City. He has a terrific left foot that you pointed out. We
:33:51. > :33:55.were watching, you said - he has a terrific left foot. Neil you are an
:33:55. > :33:58.international footballer. Hopefully you will be back until the squad
:33:58. > :34:03.very soon. What should happen here? You highlighted the crown that took
:34:03. > :34:07.Crofty away. A good run by them. It makes the whole team shuffle over,
:34:07. > :34:11.as you should do defensively. They pushed it out wide but when it gets
:34:11. > :34:16.to him and he hits it, it is a great goe. But I look at Andy King. He has
:34:16. > :34:21.to go quicker. Not saying he probably wouldn't score but he has
:34:21. > :34:26.it make more effort. This was woeful, Iwan. Three men over and it
:34:26. > :34:29.is almost, take your pick. It is. Once again, Kolarov makes the goal.
:34:29. > :34:33.I think Tadic has the initial shot. It was a good save. Could he put
:34:33. > :34:39.that past the post? Then it falls it the lad. He finishes it well. But
:34:39. > :34:42.all three were sloppy goals and avoidable even though the second
:34:42. > :34:46.goal was a great strike, I think Andy King should be closing down
:34:46. > :34:50.quicker and better than he did. Can we take any positives out of
:34:50. > :34:54.tonight's performance? I think it is difficult. People will take the Bale
:34:54. > :34:58.performance as a positive. I thought Aaron Ramsey had a good game. Always
:34:58. > :35:01.on the ball and available. But it is difficult. With the nature of the
:35:01. > :35:05.goals and how the game went, a little flat. It is hard it take
:35:05. > :35:10.positives. The platform is there for us, but we are missing so many
:35:10. > :35:14.players. The biggest cheer of the night was when Real Madrid's
:35:14. > :35:18.supersigning came on the pitch. He was only on for half an hour. We
:35:18. > :35:23.managed to put a sequence together which show that is why Real Madrid
:35:23. > :35:29.was broken the world transfer record for this fellow. He creates a great
:35:29. > :35:33.atmosphere Jews by his presence. Great awareness here. How many times
:35:33. > :35:38.have we seen him doing this for Spurs? The movement on that ball --
:35:38. > :35:42.-- just by his presence. He puts the ball through Kolarov's
:35:43. > :35:46.legs. Once again, it is just the power and
:35:46. > :35:51.the pace of Gareth. He causes people problems. He makes things happen.
:35:51. > :35:55.You know, he looked fully fit to me. He didn't look a player that had
:35:55. > :36:00.been out for so many weeks, out injured. I think he lifted the team.
:36:00. > :36:04.I think the team looked more of an attacking threat. He is a direct
:36:04. > :36:07.player. When he picks up the ball he looks to do one thing - attack the
:36:07. > :36:11.opposition's goal. It lifts the team and the crowd. You could hear the
:36:11. > :36:16.crowd. That's what he brings to the team. That's what we were probably
:36:16. > :36:20.missing over two games. It was unfortunate by it is how it is with
:36:20. > :36:25.his fitness. More on the future of Chris Coleman and the foot bull
:36:25. > :36:32.association of Wales -- football. Association of Wales. Let's face T
:36:32. > :36:38.that will be in -- let's face it. That will be in Sport Wales on
:36:38. > :36:40.Friday. So, Chris Coleman, what happens
:36:40. > :36:45.next? Does he deserve a new contract?
:36:45. > :36:50.I think it is a tough one, to be honest. He's already - he has come
:36:50. > :36:54.to an agreement with the Welsh FA. It just needs pen to paper. I
:36:54. > :36:59.wouldn't be surprised if the Welsh FA now turn around and say - let's
:36:59. > :37:02.look at the next couple of games, see how we get on and where we
:37:02. > :37:05.finish and then we will get the contract back out again and you can
:37:05. > :37:11.sign it. I think he does deserve another chance in all honesty. I
:37:11. > :37:14.think we have spoken so many timed about the difficult circumstances,
:37:14. > :37:19.he took the job over in. Performances have been better.
:37:19. > :37:26.Taking tonight out of the equation, Macedonia, I thought we played well
:37:26. > :37:30.and didn't deserve to loose. I think he deserves one more qualifying
:37:30. > :37:36.campaign. This may be difficult for you, knowing you know Jimenez and
:37:36. > :37:40.you are part of his international set-up. Does he have the backing of
:37:40. > :37:44.the players Easy to answer. He has the backing of the players. He in
:37:44. > :37:48.international football he hasn't been in charge for a long time. He
:37:48. > :37:51.needs all the players out there fit. For a small nation like Wales, we
:37:52. > :37:55.have great players but you need them fit. He didn't have that at his
:37:55. > :38:01.disposal. You need continuity. I know the boys like playing him. His
:38:01. > :38:04.style is to keep the boys playing and passing and playing a nice way.
:38:04. > :38:08.He is passionate and Welsh and the boys like playing for him. Great to
:38:08. > :38:10.see you. Thank you very much. Enjoyed your company. Iwan, thank
:38:10. > :38:14.you very much. Another defeat for Wales but at
:38:14. > :38:16.least this time we got to see Gareth Bale. From all of us here, bye for
:38:17. > :38:23.now. COMMENTATOR: Kolarov drives it. Oh,
:38:23. > :38:34.what a goal. Oh, almost through.
:38:34. > :38:35.It's another defeat for Wales.
