    Speak for yourself, and less of the "we all", you're on your own with that bollox, fella!

    Can't keep the ball
    Can't move into space in the final third
    Can't pass to each other
    Can't take corners
    Can't score
    Can't penetrate a strong defence
    Can't save
    Can't understand the workings of the transfer market

    One bad games shouldn't be enough to lambast Gerard. He was superb in the European championships. Possibly his game isn't best suited to tika take but then a short pass possession game might help to extend his career. Less of the furious box-to-box stuff. Gerard really has been a player that any club would be proud of, and the fact he hasn't run off to real Madrid etc when he had a chance should be commended. No need for vitriol to be directed at him.

    Swans fan in peace.

    Seems strange for me that Rodgers has maybe tried to do too much too soon. How much could he have realistically changed in the time he had. Needed to be evolution. Would have kept Carroll up front, got Suarez to play off him, dropping into midfield, and focused on the wingers. Got some pace in. Focused on Adam Johnson instead of borini, looked at the cheap market in Spain.

    Joe...the one shining light so far in a sea of ****e.

    What a shame BR wasn't given the backing to bring in other players he wanted eh. The poor lad would have been better off staying at Swansea...at least they have people who know how to run a club even if it is on a budget <applause>

    Some of their business has been top class, it makes you wonder who our scouts are. Let's hope this situation gives our owners a kick up the ass (I doubt it) to atleast back us in January

    As a neutral I would advise your 1st signing to be David Dein.

    As a gooner i'd be pissed off if you signed David Dein.

    You need football smarts at boardroom level

    Get a grip ffs, Most of those things are down to the players ffs, the rest will come with time. Hardly going to implement a whole new play style (yes, NEW!) in 6 competitive games

    You can't expect players to adjust to a totally different system in 2 months. Your current and previous systems are basically polar opposites.

    Try the legendary John Charles, Ivor allchurch, Trevor Ford, Bob Latchford, Allan Curtis, to name but a few! Is Gerrard in the hall of fame? We at Swansea don't live in the past though..............<ok>

    Let's not live in the past please, yes he was a good player in his day, but his day has come and gone, and it shows now, he needs to be given a coaching roll to be fair to him!...............<ok>

    ... You're talking about the past as well mate.

    Good? He was 'brilliant' - un-negotiable. Now he is above average but fading fast - still doesn't deserve abuse and ridicule.

    Much better! Brendan does have a strange nose like.
