Anybody else watching this game? I thought Swansea would struggle this season but they look lightning on the break and michu is looking a bargain at 2m.
Massively impressed by them mate. They still have that cool on the ball trait, but whereas last season a lot of it was sideways and safe, the movement of Michu sees them always looking forward. Very good side, and definite top 10 contenders, probably the smartest kit in the league as well!. Michu scored stacks of goals in La Liga, for a relegation tipped newly promoted side, his finish there was of a man who is playing on instinct, for £2million, he could be the signing of the summer. Much to praise the Swans for.
I agree mons, IF they can stay injury free they are defo top ten contenders.. They are playing a very European style of football exciting to watch and dangerous to play against.. And on the flip west ham still look like a championship side very scrappy hoof and hope.
Shame, West Ham have bought the right players, but stuck to Allardyce' tekkers of bruising, **** play.
I like Swansea. But their 'Passalona' style of play looks to let them down a bit sometimes. They look happy to just pass the ball sideways and backwards, which results in West Ham breaking causing them problems. Good thing only Nolan, Jarvis and Cole look up for it... for the Swans. Michu looks excellent.. which goes to show the quality on the continent. ****, im glad we didn't get Big Sam as a manager years ago.
Sometimes in order to go forward you have to go sideways or even backwards.. Barca are the masters at it.. Playing triangles.. It was one of the things my old coach used to drum into us.. Swansea are trying it but the first touch of a couple of their players look a little rusty.. I'd expect them to settle into the season and get much better on the ball.
They have not conceded yet and we are up next weekend, good time for our new signings to bag a goal or two, we might need them.
Our full backs are gonna need to be sh*t hot against Swansea or its gonna be a torrid day at the office.
We're in for a real tough game down there mind, but ****ing hell it'll be easy on the eye. We're gonna need Catts and/or Jack to really take hold of there area, cos it's no good having Sess, AJ & Jimmy without the ball.
Really looking to our game next week now but I won't be getting to carried away. We will have to dig very deep to get a result imo but with current form and you guys hopefully being a little rusty I'm hoping for a 2-1 swans win. Good luck after next week lads
Chill kids, theyve played a couple of sh*t teams. They have to cope with the big team next week, us. We'll sort them out nee probs. They did look canny today tho.
