Valley your not the only team we played "like that" so please dont make it out to be a superhuman performance by us on the day .You are and will be amounst teams we beat , simple as that . As for the Villa game im sure the lads are up to it , wish Noone was match fit tho as we need a out and out winger at times .Cambell will run and run causing trouble for thier back four and about time Whitts hit a special ........................;o)
But I haven't seen all of your other games so couldn't comment. As for among the teams you beat, I would have thought that included Norwich and we know how that went
Apart from Williams , Taylor and Dyer (who was sh1t) there is some truth in this. Id say those can be excused from at least trying to compete. The majority of your side had no heart and didn't want to play for the Swansea shirt. In a way very little effort and let us win by rolling over. FFS even Peter Whittingham was easily winning tackles. Im convinced your managers main intention is to raise his own profile to get a move next summer.I reckon his aim is a semi final or final spot in the Europa League. The problem is your team isn't that good and while you shouldn't go down I wouldn't fancy your players in a battle at the bottom. Teams like yourself who can be bullied easily are just 3 points waiting to be picked up for us. I can see the first league double.
That's putting it mildly. All he wanted to do first half was score to grab all the headlines. Absolute ****e player, and one of the players that need to be moved on soon. As for your comments about Laudrup and raising his profile in Europe, I think you are bang on the money. The trouble for him is, the way we are playing and the way Roberto Martinez has transformed Everton so quickly, the bigger clubs might plump for him instead of Laudrup if he doesn't pull his finger out and sort out these diabolical performances. We haven't played like we normally play since the second half against Liverpool
A good comment here about using Frazier as the end of the game rather than the start. He could really cause a massive amount of problems as a last 20 minute sub. Don't know what he would think about it
It will be interesting to see how Villa approach this game. They could well go into it desperate for a point with the same tactics as you are likely to play and then its probably a 0-0 and destined for last game on MOD. Or they could see this as one of the few games where they believe they have a chance and must take the 3 points in which case it could be a good game to watch. My money is on the 0-0.
2 They like to counter attack but will have to come at us as we will have everyone behind the ball - we don't counter attack - no pace Whittigham v Hull anyone????
What a move though! True, probably the best team goal this season so far. Whitts and Cowie nearly got altitude sickness, the speed they were going at
Villa were excellent 2nd half v Liverpool too and were very unlucky to get beat. Hopefully they'll be as **** as you were against us too! I think Villa have the tools to dominate us, based mainly on that Liverpool game tbh but I don't think an open game will suit us at all. It'll be more of the same from us and as we keep showing we very often find a way to grab a goal. 1 goal either way or the 0-0 Glam mentions, for me.
I really think we are pretty evenly matched but they are hurting from a string of poor results so will probably be up for trying to defeat a team deemed a relegation favourite. I think Malky will employ the tried and tested tactics here and go for the draw or better still sneak a narrow win. A tough game again this weekend.
I didn't say half of that. Haha, are you abusing your mod powers Blue? Surely this is worthy of a hypersensitive Jack grassing up Blue to BRB.
Haha so sorry Steve! I must have pressed edit instead of reply and not realised Or is this the start of a campaign to turn our board into a Sheep ruled dictatorship..... On topic all the Villa fans seem to be favouring a 4 - 3 -3 formation. Will that suit our 4-5-1 and the chance to counter? My memory of Villa is that they are very pacey...
