We need a pair of decent CB`s in January ,too many **** ups but on the plus side Hooper looks like the player we bought from Celtic now
Agree with this, several times he took a touch and tried to beat defenders to put a cross in, when he was in a perfectly good position to cross to begin with. Overplayed it a little too much today. Was still surprised to see him replaced though, he did look capable of creating something. Would have rather Johnson came off and Fer moved central.
I think this would have been the better option, Fer just isn't effective enough playing on the Left of Midfield and while Johnson had a really decent game We'd have probably benefited from having Redmond and Murphy on the pitch.
Also worth pointing out how much we missed Snodgrass from set pieces. We had several in decent positions late on, but the delivery from Redmond (or Johnson of all people after Redmond went off), was invariably poor. Definitely our best opportunities in the second half.
Few things guys: 1: Vorm booking was down to your ball boy not giving him the ****ing ball back! Check the footage. Un - ****ing - believable. 2: You are a poorer team this season than last but many would say the same about us. 3: We were equally bad today but the Europa League probably has a lot to do with that. 4: One of your number commented that Bassong should have "done that to Dyer" for the goal. He has a broken ankle - so not a cool comment. 5: Losing Dyer changed the game. He was turning you inside out. 6: Hooper's strike was decent but check out Jordi Amat in front of him. He fails to close him down then makes the schoolboy error of turning his back AND ducking. Having said all that a draw was a fair result. Neither team created enough to win the game but as the home team you have to be disappointed with that. I'd have taken a point beforehand so thanks for that. Good luck for the rest of the season.
There was one chance in the 2nd half where we broke with three players against three of theirs, Redmond started the move by brilliantly accelerating leaving one of their players behind it was a perfect counter attacking chance, for some reason rather then play in Hooper he decided to run on and hesitated about which direction he'd go. Not a big fan of the decisions he makes but I think that will improve with experience. The one thing which is annoying me is the injury situation, I would of loved to of seen either Snodgrass, Pilkington or Bennett available, it's great to see Murphy get games but he should be on loan at a Championship club, I'd much rather see someone like Wes come on.
We could say the same about having four of our key players out injured. A draw was a fair result in the end, if was someone like Cardiff or Hull we'd be livid with a draw.
The welsh never understand why nobody likes them. Would it be ok to kick you out of Great Britain and the premiership? You could form your own super league just like Scotland has.
1) Hadn't noticed that, that's hilarious. He's clearly learnt something from your ball boys! 2) Fair, although we're missing our top 3 wingers, our most expensive striker and a defensive midfielder who when we had everyone was holding everything together very well. 3) N/C 4) The commentator I was listening to said much the same thing at the time. For the goal Bassong didn't even jump, what he should have been doing was using his physicality to stop Dyer having a chance of getting a head on it. The fact that they fell awkwardly and Dyer got his ankle trapped is neither here nor there, unfortunately injuries can happen at any time, the challenge for the ball was fair. I don't think any of our lot meant for Bassong to hurt him sooner. 5) I'm not sure if it was just losing Dyer, but your team's heads seem to drop after he went off, the goal was a double blow. 6) For Amat read Bassong for your goal, was equally preventable but also a very nice touch from Dyer. Yep, good luck to you guys too for the rest of the season, you're one of the teams I like to see do well, and there's definitely three worse teams in the league. We'll both be mid-table by the end of the season. Your Europa League run will probably end at some point, then the league form will pick up.
Happy to debate the game and I can see the points made by DH above but you're just a racist knob so ain't worth my time you ****wit. But check your ****ing history and the ****ing league that was set up back in the day you titwank. Norwich and Swansea joined the Football League in 1921 having been invited to do so. But isn't it weird that 'people' like you raise this issue after failing to beat us? Now consider yourself schooled you gobshite ignoramus and make sure you don't burn those 11 knuckles as they drag on the floor.
Excellent response Jacqui. Back to your base behaviour. It is actually xenophobia but you probably wont know what that means. Notice the calm and assured response to your outburst. But safe journey home to the valleys.
I'm perfectly calm thanks and it was an excellent response wasn't it? I don't live in a valley either - but that's just another cliche right? I actually live in an expensive apartment overlooking a beautiful marina. As for xenophobia, well at least you admit that so well done. By the way it's not anything you should be proud of. If you knew what it meant you should know that. Look, there's plenty to debate about the game but if you resort to those sort of comments you'll get it back in spades. As you may have realised, I'm good at it so I suggest you quit while whipped. At the moment you're embarrassing a group of fans that us Swans tend to get on with. Think on. Oh and keep watching those knuckles - I bet those burn hurt like a bitch. Ta ta.
Anyone know who got MotM for Norwich today. Not sure who I'd give it to - Hooper for his goal, but then he missed an open goal when he roiunded vorm.
That was me KJ. If you check the timing of my post, then watch the timing of the incident, you should be able to see that I was talking about the challenge - NOT the broken ankle. My comment was made before Dyer was carried off.
