Match Day Thread Swans v Bournemouth

God knows where you start with that half of football. Shocking defending. Everyone looks very nervous. Gm has certainly rung the changes but not convinced we're any better for it. No idea how the second half will go!

 

making 4 changes is never a good idea. nearly half the starting team wouldn't have played together much this season. Bartley needs to come off asap. Siggy should not be on the bench. Montero on at half time aswell, someone who can run the ball out of our half and relieve pressure.

 

Barbados by any chance???

 

Ayew was not offside and that was a definite penalty , be it accidental .

 

Siggy and Montero not starting?

 

The lineup is madness

 

God job I missed the first half reading this thread.

 

What is the line up? Is Leon or Jack playing? Gomis?

 

Anyone got a decent stream?

 

Montero needs to stop messing around with the ball. This is crap.

 

We have a great squad and yet we are void of ideas and are shot to pieces with no confidence whatsoever.
We used to have a swagger and a confidence about us on the pitch. Our players are now terrified of making a mistake out there. They are terrified on the pitch.

 

Oh well, relegation battle it is this season. With all of the pressure I thought we'd have put in a good performance today. Heard first half was poor, second half was crap.

 

That was an absolutely appalling display. Completely robbed Bournemouth of two points. Monk out now otherwise the Championship beckons.

 

Impossible as it may seem, we were better in the second half.

 

Jesus Christ. That bad first half were we?

 

I honestly can't see us turning this around at all. People have been moaning about Ayew killing us on the right side of the pitch, but even when we put Routs there, it was still totally non existent. Which means it must be down to the managers' tactics.
Bartley shouldn't see another premier league minute after that display.
Two of our most dangerous players (Siggy who has been vastly improving in recent weeks and Montero who had just scored for his country and no doubt lifted in confidence) were inexplicably left on the bench so we could play... Britton. I love Britton don't get me wrong, but surely we should be looking to take the game to Bournemouth. Starting a defensive midfielder in a home game should only ever be done when you are expecting to be dominated against the top 4. Not against a ****ing newly promoted team! What an utter shambles we are in.

EDIT: Sorry, my response turned into a rant. Bloody swans.

 

Can Huw, grow a pair of balls and **** Monk off, and do it now not when it's too ****ing late.

 

Just got in. Not naming players as we were awful everywhere. Bournemouth - BLOODY BOURNEMOUTH - were the better team and were robbed. Credit to them, they were entertaining and deserved 3 points. Best squad we've ever had and we are playing the worse football since arriving in this League. Only one person to blame and he has to go. NOW!

 

Okay we didn't lose, but that performance was shocking again, Bournemouth were robbed of 2 points, and by far the better team. We never win after an international break, but I have finally come to the conclusion Monk has lost it, and is clueless, my son was wishing we would lose so that Monk would be sacked, but after that none performance Monk is now a dead man walking in my view, Huw Jenkins looked none too pleased with the game, for me Monk needs to step down to assistant manager at the very least, surely we cannot allow this lump it up front rout one style of Monks to continue any further, something just has to give, and for me it's Monk..................


Monk's team doesn't have a clue how to keep the ball, and Fab is under instruction to lump it up field invariable giving away possession, we had no threat whatsoever down either flank first half, and our right flank was pitiful (Dyer?). Monk brought his subs on far too late again, and we were very lucky to get the draw, don't agree with the pundits that we showed fight to come back, we have 3 tough games now coming up, and I see no points from any of them.

 

I have just got back and all I can say is I am actually embarrassed by that performance, there was no heart, no effort and absolutely no shape. If HJ is happy with that along with the last 9 games then we are in the ****. We looked like the away side hanging on for a point. They looked like the established Pl side and we looked like the newbies. He has to go now and give whoever comes in the chance to get some confidence in the team and get actually trying to play some football our players are better than that.

That was a ****ing embarrassment. I should have stayed in Maidstone and watched them that would have been a better standard than what I saw from the team in white today.

I have to ask who is out there who can take over the job, I know Rodgers would be pretty seamless appointment, but would the fans accept him. Moyes is out there, but I don't want him as I don't think he is a good fit for us, There was mention of Sherwood, please god no. So who else is the?
