HALF-TIME Swans 0 Stade Rennais 0. Plenty of possession but no goal for the home side in the first half. Nathan Dyer was bright on the flank, while Fernando Llorente showed some classy touches. The new man looked like marking his debut with a goal, but his shot came back off the post
He's been on an extended break I think. Maybe not quite 100% yet? I'd love to see him and Barrow on the wings v Burnley next week.
Dyer and Routledge with Barrow and Montero on the bench Barrow and Montero with Dyer and Routledge on the bench It's going to be a tough job keeping that lot happy! If Mr Guidolin can, then we will have tremendous match-changing pace coming off the bench in every match.
Little worried about Montero , Barrow , Ki , Taylor having very little time with the team ....along with Llorente only having a few minutes before the season starts .. Concerned about the opener , wish we were playing Mam City or Chelsea or some othergphuge club where a loss wouldn't dent confidence . No wins against Burnley and Hull out of the gates would be disasterous ....oh well , it is what it is .
I think Routledge is going to have a career year . I think Dyer will see limited starts with Barrow and Montero splitting duties with Routledge playing either side when they split time .
