You would swear the Americans and Bob inherited a great team reading that....<ok> The players have come out and said that they like working with Bob and his training is good.....But the problem we have is far too many sub standard players that are not up to the job or too bloody old....We cant blame the Americans or Bob for that however you try to shift the blame on to them.....We were relegated the minute last season ended and it's all self inflicted by the hands of Jenkins....He is the one to vent your anger at and not anyone else....The quicker we go down and start afresh the better.......I dont know how fans thought for one minute that we would do well this season with the way Jenkins went around with his head up his arse during the transfer window.....It is what it is now and we are so weak now that we could have Sir Alex running the team and we would be just the same with a lot of below standard and weak older players with no captain and no idea how to tackle....
 
We have good players without any moral or no one at the helm to gel the team .
Curtis and Adams could IMO .
And what the fuk was hiring Curtis on to finish last season only to replace him shortly after ( not sure if Curtis managed a game after he was offically made manager .
From the time Curtis took over offically to the time Guidolin was installed ..behind the scenes something happened involving old and perspective new owners IMO .
Not a rumour ...just an opninion
 
Curtis is not that good. ..Nobody could make these bunch of players work as a team....It is no surprise really......It was on the cards....

we have lost quality bony, allen, aywe, williams and to some extent shelvey. Least he was prepared to shoot.
Having replaced them with players such borja and llorente and fer.
The back four is very inexperienced but has some potential kingsley, mawson, van der hoorn.
With Rangel over the hill, but has been a good servant to the club.
 
I've been busy, so just watched last Sunday's MOTD2 for the first time. I'd heard about the pundits comments, and they were pretty damning -
Alan Shearer - This was a Swansea team supposedly trying to impress the new manager in his fourth game, playing against Man United, who had a poor game in mid-week, you'd think they'd actually go after them.
It was the most abject and embarrassing performance I've seen from any team in a long while.
It was like a training game for them, you have five players at times ( Llorente, Baston, Britton, Ki, Routledge), one player has to go and close down, then two and three will follow, look at them walking, in exactly the same position as five seconds ago.
There's a complete and utter lack of effort to put a shift in, and United were able to control the game with ease. They can pick a pass, they can pick their heads up and get into the Swansea back four.
Llorente and Baston, come on, break sweat and try and close down. Routledge and Ki, do the same, it's not too much to ask when your playing one of the biggest clubs in the land. Again a poor pass, it's far too easy.
Ibrahimovic, touch, turn, and in again. Try and tell me what Llorente is doing here,( as he passes) straight to Rooney.
Not one player was prepared to put a tackle in, to put a shift in. Not one yellow card to show the crowd they're at least trying.
They're 3-0 down, this was three minutes before half time, there's not one player prepared to put a tackle in. No wonder the Swans fans were booing their players.
You look at Bob Bradley and say good luck, you're going to need it with that lot of players if they're going to put that sort of effort in.
Danny Murphy - He's got them in training, he's got to get them at it somehow. If it was four games in, fair enough too early to judge, but there are huge problems there based on that performance.

I don't think the fans were booing the players at half time Keith. I think the boos were aimed at those OFF the pitch.
