    There's only one who's "special" and I can hear the van coming up the street for him right now .

    Still think Laudrup is the one , the special one, the one who is better than Martinez or rodger's or sousa for that matter....Do me a favour get to know what a good manager is all about and i might consider taking most of you serious.<doh> We will be in the relegation spot by the new year with the games we have got coming up and i cant see where we are going to get the points from in the much harder second half of the season......and we cant put any trust in laudrup thats for sure...

    I'd like to say I'm surprised at you Dai but really I'm not. It's pathetic.

    Yes, yes, yes - Laudrup is the Man. But when are Swansea gonna win 2 consecutive games? You are dropping points again and again. You could have won against Everton, but managed to fumble it yet again.
    No confidence in the last third what so ever. Everything that made Laudrup good as a player, his team complete lacks going forward. No creativity, no penetration, no nothing. And then you spend 12 million on a striker that
    misses one sitter after another.

    Dont get me wrong, I love Laudrup. I've never questioned his skills on the pitch or the whiteboard - But he is not a leader. He cant inspire confidence in the team.

    It is one shaky performance after another. You havent had stability since you won the cup.

    Bony missed how many "sitters"? Must have missed that - no pun intended. Service to him was nonexistent. I wouldn't read too much into this result. Everton are an excellent team who will be serious challengers for a top four finish and will demolish a lot of their opposition before the end of the season.

    I may be in the minority but I didn't see anything "shaky" about the preformance either. Everton won because of two world class strikes that should have been saved.

    Of course I dont have the game on tape, but he misses a couple of key assists and fairly good opportunities. Not just in this game, but in other games as well - He isnt a player that brings victories, he costs defeats because he cant get it in. And yes - Service is abysmal. But when they finally manage to get it right, he still falls through.

    Lets talk about this game , how many sitters did Bony miss today in relation to the service he had , he had one shot on the volley which went wide , now if that was one out of ten then yes justifiably you could say he missed a shed load but 1 , <doh>. he costs defeats how , if you watched today then it must have passed you by ,who won and who cleared the majority of their corners and free kicks .He went off today as the manger felt that their defence were tiring , to bring on pace against their back four which nearly worked except admittedly the two chances were ones that Vazquez fluffed .

    Instead why not discuss a defender who made a decision to give away agree kick (prior to that he was mom imo) , in area where they could and did (by poor goal keeping ) harm us .No mention of that , De guzman (and I've been one of his critics ) probably had one of his better games today , when you think how Everton flooded the midfield then I believe him and Shelvey worked well . 1 free kick cost us today taken by a lad who everyone's raving about and rightly so .They're 4th and if they keep their consistency will be there at the end of the season. With Michu, Dyer , Leon, Rangel out today of course we were weakened ,Tiendalli not the scapegoat today even though he's been slated previously , not his turn today was it .No, the flavour of the month is the manger , some you really should stick to playing football manager .

    Yes that's starting to look very much the true picture, and I'm giving it until January, then I'm going to have to concede we dropped an almighty clanger with Bony! The only goal we scored today was a fluke!.............<ok>

    Well, that's disturbing.

    I hope you guys are right and Bonny starts banging 'em in. Played half a season and still waiting.

    He would bang them in if we were to play rodgers way, Laudrups way is crap and always been crap ever since he changed the way we play. Until you realize that then you will keep on making excuses that fans have been doing all season which to be fair is getting less and less after every game as they are starting to smell the coffee and realizing laudrup is rubbish for us...

    Including our European games Bony's done alright. Worked his socks off today against a team that has lost one game all season. He'll come good. Part of being a supporter is having a little faith.

    sorry cant help you but for the people who can see then its so obvious, You cant fail to see the obvious difference between the two styles ...But saying that a blind man should be able to hear the moans and groans of what the fans around you are saying..<ok>

    But if it's so obvious surely you can give me an inkling to what the fundamental changes are , example ,the pace of the attack , are we out wide and getting in behind the full backs , hitting the ball long into space ,those sorts of things .
