Match Day Thread Chelsea 1 v 0 Swansea

The only good thing is that most of the other results were ok for us although an Everton Hammers 0-0 would have been better

 

We need a shot in the arm, a boost at the club. We need the club to be serious and sack Clement and bring in a new manager.....Fast..

 

I feel that It's time for a change in management. I'm usually the last one to want to sack a manager but in this instance (like Bradley), its bloody obvious.

I echo all of what stumpy and everyone for that matter is saying.

We are rotten to the core and feel that we don't have the resources to get us out of this mess.

 

I dont know how many shots we have had at goal in the premiership this season but it wont be many..

 

Sorry Stumpy but although the performance on Saturday showed some of our players can play pass and move football and Bony is getting back to a decent standard - we were in no danger of scoring in either game. Clement is killing the team.
IMO, Jenkins was responsible for bringing Britton on the the coaching side and elevating Rangel to club captain. Given what happened last season with results picking up when the old guard had to be fought in I think it is no coincidence the glimmer of hope has coincided with those decisions.

 

Shots (goal attempts) 112 (equal 18th with Brighton with WBA 20th on 107)

Shots on target 25 (bottom - next worst WBA & Hudds with 34)
Opposition shots on target 64

 

This is confirmation for me that Clement is Clueless with his non existent game plan....Thanks Bob for the chart that looks very grim...

 

That Chart is proof that we will be relegated without doubt, Clement is a complete nugget, everyone except him can see we are a team that cannot score goals, this lot wouldn't score in a brothel...............

New broom sweeps clean.

Please!

 

I was in a bar in London last week and I saw a girl have more shots (tequila) than we have had on target mind you at the end of the night I think she was facing the drop just like us!

You're right Bob, there has been an improvement but from it we've only earned 1pt from a possible 6pts, not good enough.

Sanchez apart, we can't blame the players for the teams lack of form because none of them have sufficient individual quality to make any difference on the pitch. So, we're depending on the qualities of our coaches and our manager to get more out of them playing together as a team than they can offer as individuals. Aristotle (who was a bugger for the bottle) said "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts" and that is exactly what Clement has to do. Pool the abilities of the individuals in the squad and mold them into a strong unit, a good team. We wont win the league but with strong leadership up top we could defy the odds and stay in the prem. Shame Aristotle isn't coaching the team because I doubt Clements ability to get us out of trouble on his own, Curt anyone?

Maybe I'm being tough on Clement because he's inherited a squad of support players and followers as a direct result of an asset stripping transfer window where all quality and value was extracted from the squad. Danny Murphy hit the nail on the head when he reiterated exactly what we've been saying since the season began.

"They (Swansea) recouped £72million in the summer and they spent £38million. You cannot survive in the Premier League by making a £34million profit and not investing in the squad.

"That is ludicrous management from whoever is making the decisions."

Only four clubs have scored fewer goals after 13 games of a Premier League season than Swansea City (7) this season: Derby (5 in 2007-08), Everton (5 in 2005-06), Bradford (5 in 2000-01) and Man City (5 in 1995-96).​

 

I see Danny Murphy's theory re the Sanchez pass was that Sanchez saw the colour red out of the corner of his eye (advertising logo) he thought it was a Swan's player hence the pass which was accurate - to the advert! I just think he was expecting the Swans player on his left to make a run forward and he didn't.

 

He's not alone ,we all would like to see us push forward , just shows how uncoordinated we are

 

So when he inevitably goes who would we have as new manager. Only Pulis that’s any good, very experienced in PL & never been relegated.
