http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and Wales midfielder, Joe Allen, bemoaned his country’s poor performance against Serbia in a World Cup qualifying match, and believes that the entire team needs to take full responsibility for the defeat.
The Dragons were hammered 6-1 on Tuesday night, which pushed them down to the bottom of Group A. Earlier, they lost their opening game 2-0 to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850.
Back to back losses in their World Cup Qualifiers have upped the pressure on manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041.
However, the 22-year old spoke out in favour of his troubled boss. He insisted that the Welshman could not be held responsible for his side’s dismal showing on Tuesday night, and pinned the blame on the entire team instead.
“To be fair to the manager he has done everything he can to prepare us and send us out on to the field,” he told the reporters.
“It's us as players who are letting everybody down at the moment. I can say that on behalf of all of us - me included - it just wasn't good enough and we were to blame.”
The Dragons were characterless right from the start, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandar-Kolarov-c4475 and Zoran Tosic.

However, any chance of a comeback were quashed by Siniša Mihajlović’s men, as Filip Djuricic, Dusan Tadic and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Branislav-Ivanovic-c7994 all pocketed a scalp apiece to complete the Wales rout.
Allen admitted he had never felt so humiliated on the field during his career. He called upon his team to re-gather themselves quickly, and work harder than ever in the training sessions in order to prepare better for their next game.
“It was one of the most disappointing situations I've ever experienced. As professional footballers we have to go back to work and the next time we pull on the shirt we have to make sure we're better,” he added.
