Is it right? Senior team has flagged in the second half of most games and some individuals more than others. And the same has been happening with the under 21s. http://www.swanseacity.net/news/article/cl-post-ipswich-2002142.aspx? The latest is the defeat to Ipswich 'Second half start cost us, says Llewellyn' (plus red card!) Something's not right, imo. Are players leaving their edge on the training pitches?
Bob ..... this is shocking ... shocking I say .... in the best interest of the club you have to go straight to HJ and complain. Seriously ... something is not right. Players, some remarkably more than others, are looking knackered way before the end of the game and they're not even busting a gut to get there.
dunno Dai, cannot put my finger on it, one lone striker is goal shy, been disappointing but cannot expect 30 a season from him, I could make a suggestion but in the case of harmony I will not
Well they looked tired Saturday which considering the amount of procession we had was surprising , although Newcastle allowed us time on the ball we looked unwilling/unable to make runs .The game was screaming out for fresh legs to come on to enable us to gain the upper hand in a match which was slipping away from us .
I agree with these observations. If you were at the game (I don't think Mr Daiswan was from his daft comment) you'd have seen the reluctance to make runs to make space. Bursts here and there but we looked ****ed at times and the fans around me were saying that too. I honestly don't know if there is a problem with fitness but it certainly looked like it.
It looked as if we sat back and were happy to hang on to the lead each time,but Newcastle seemed the fitter and more motivated,just the same at Sunderland,where we were hanging on for the draw.
LOL ?How exactly is Bony goal shy?? He's a goalscoring machine. He is top class. He could play for any team in the world and be sucessful. Hardly any strikers have such a hard shot, that combined with vision, technique, amazing jump and headers. Good acceleration over the first 5 meters. Explosive!!! The complete package. It's hard for him to take a man on, but he's not that type of player, and the Swansea system should be feeding him.
OFC He is human and like everything it goes up & down, but don't tell me he doesn't have some very very good weapons in his locker
how many goals has he scored this season so far that one goal has cost the club over a million quid....sorry not good enough in my book and it's know wonder jinx is combing the globe for investment...we cant afford it from one player...
Okay but personally I think he's more than good enough, perhaps he at the moment isn't playing to his full potential, but I don't think he's played bad at all and took his goal really well in the weekend which is a good sign. It's not only up to the player, the club, manager everyday life in general. That is the only potential problem I see with Bony if he's unhappy. That's why it's important to let him know he's the 1st striker of Swansea and he's a king and very important.
....and so, as predicted, the 'not good enough' hate campaign begins. So ****ing predictable. The fact his goals kept us up last season seems to be lost in his calculations on what Bony has 'cost' us. Double
We all saw bony banging them in last season and he was the best header of the ball in the whole premiership imo but that was last season, What about this season? He has not lived up to his repetition so far and one goal is a poor return, It wont be the first time a striker has been a one season wonder and it wont be the last so i hope bony is not one of these. I can understand why the big clubs were reluctant to Pay our asking price for bony as they are not sure about him and they could be right. If bony wants to play for a big club then he had better do a lot better than he is doing this season and not just scoring goals but his all around performance has to improve. What he done last season has gone it's finished and it's this season we have to look at as he is our most expensive player earning around a quarter of a million/month and that is a lot of money for a club our size.....
"I've had some of the toughest sessions of my career here. The last few days have certainly been up there because we had a double session one day and an 11 v 11 session the following day. That's pretty tough!" Carroll's comment on training at Swansea. Which appears to suggest players are leaving their fitness on the training pitches, http://www.southwales-eveningpost.co.uk/Swansea-City-loanee-Tom-Carroll-pushed-limit/story-23070945-detail/story.html?
