dking Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hard to say atm. Swansea have been the better side but we've had a few moments. Not sure we'll get anything with Yesil up front though, he's just so light weight. I've been impressed with Downing though, which I don't think I've ever said.

Emersonlfc Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 No. Not getting a foot on the ball at all and when we do get it forward, Yesil either loses it or has nothing on so we lose it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoolFan Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 How's it sounding? Any chance of us getting back in it? Not at present, Swansea have backed off a little since scoring and we are able to play a bit more but whenever Michu gets the ball he looks dangerous, normally passing the ball outwide with great accuracy. We can't seem to keep the ball and when we do it's kind of slow and results in a cross in the box to nobody in particular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansea have been superb though, very good football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoolFan Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Joe Cole has done nothing, when people talk about wasted money you can look at people like Joe Cole who has cost the club nearly 10 million in wages and has done nothing. I'd like to see Sahin come on at halftime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emersonlfc Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I can understand wanting to give a young promising forward a chance up top but you really can't have him up there alone with nothing around him. He's not that strong and should be feeding off someone. Running in behind etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Tonight will be a lesson in how we should be playing. We have only done it in flashes so far under BR, but Swansea have played like that for about 5 years. It's where we want to be (with better quality players of course). We are still trying to force it in the final 3rd and not recycling possesion when there is nothing on. Frustrating really... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoolFan Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Michu really does look like a great player. Can see him moving on in the summer to a big club. He looks quality, simply dropping off the centrebacks and playing the ball into space for the runners, whilst he himself gets in the box. He doesn't look the most mobile of players but he's very adept at his role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bell Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Michu really does look like a great player. Can see him moving on in the summer to a big club. He looks great. Complete revelation of a player. Signed out of nowhere and real quality, much like Mirallas at Everton. We really need to find the odd player of this quality and value every now and again. Can't remember the last time we signed someone who nobody new much about and he turned out to be real quality. Probably Alonso.... If we are still proponents of Moneyball, then these 2 are prime examples of it, both a perfect age and cost relative peanuts by modern standards.

If we're prioritising this competition then fair enough, but we're quite clearly not with the team that was put out so it makes you wonder why we're bothering with taking such a risk.
