    Quite scary watching Swansea, with Bony and Montero and co. We will have to be on our metal.

    They do look weak at corners, especially at the near post with an away swinger, wonder if our analysts are watching!

    Yeah was thinking the same, Elmo and brady putting plenty of balls into jelly would be nice! They can certainly play though! :-(

    Montero just cost 4 million quid! Why a big club did not sign Bony I do not know!

    Then Spurs score in the 89th minute again to go 2-1 up.

    Shelvey putting in the kind of hard accurate on-the-ground through balls that our strikers are definitely missing. Hernandez would thrive on those with his speed. Can't understand why Liverpool let him go with Gerrard reaching retirement age.

    The direct running is something we lack.

    Does Hernandez have any speed? I haven't seen it.

    Swansea seemed to tire considerably towards the end of that game. Boney didn't last the full game. They became very stand off-ish in the last 15 minutes.

    Have you seen how poor we are at set pieces?

    Hmm, may be they'll only score one goal in the last 15 minutes against us then! It seems open season for teams against us post-75mins.

    When we played them last season they were nothing special, if we can keep Sigurdsson and Bony quiet we will be fine. Their defence is a bit crap and lacks pace, so a performance like the first half at Spurs will see us win.

    Todays game wasn't dissimilar to when we played Spurs at the KC, we were the better side for 60 minutes until Ramirez was sent off, and then Eriksen came up with a late winner. If we play like the Spurs game and yesterday with a bit of luck which we are due in front of goal, we can get the 3 points.

    We had a couple of questionable subs that got a stubborn Spurs team the points imo , alhough we should have scored a ton of goals prior to the subs .Im hoping 2 goals and 8 shots on goal from your previous 7 games might be a sign of point relief for us . But , ya never know..good luck after our game gents , until the next time .

    Aye, but our strikers have been missing or injured, so it doesn't tell the full story.

    Not as good as many think. We have done well against better teams so far.

    But we need to start making more chances for starters. A very winnable game

    Stopping Bony will be the key to us winning, hopefully Livermore will be clued up on Sigurddson too being ex- Spurs. Totally agree stop those two then we should be fine. Fancy us to get a much needed win, in fact can see us taking a lot of points from the next 12 matches, enough to stay up, only Man City to worry about till we play Chelsea again on the 21st of March. The fact all the fans are still behind Brucey apart from the odd internet w**ker is a massive bonus to us too

    Sadly we seem totally incapable of getting the ball past the first man on front post, so I`m not entirely convinced that will bring any reward
