For me, Gomis, Montero, Ki and Fabianski have been our best players this game. Well, Ki and Fabianski have been okay, far better than others. I think Taylor is going to have a good partnership with Montero but I don't know about playing Bony and Gomis together. Both brilliant players but we have to find a system that works and I feel that we need Sigurdsson in behind them. Amat is a far better player than Bartley and should start before he does.

We are definitely missing Britton in this team though, hopefully he comes back from Injury soon!

Monk out!

No but seriously this is embarrassing. Hopefully the Argentine joins and Fabianski settles in. He's looked awful today.


Fabianski looked awful???? Are you for real. He's been left exposed by his defence.

The issue today is that our shape is all wrong.

My only complaint really is that this is obviously not working so why are we risking injuries to our key players now. Let's give the youngsters a run out.

Decent saves, but poor distribution.

Why isn't he changing it and playing the formation we'll play next week with Bray on the wing. Get Bony off and Gylfi at 10

Well I've given up, it's depressing me so I'm watching Fort William vs Kingussie in a game of shinty on BBC Alba, Fort William just went 2-1 up.

The most worrying thing for me is that Garry "I know the Swansea values better than anyone" Monk has us playing hoof ball.

We won't be seeing 4-4-2 again this season unless we're desperate.

Not blaming Monk either because we only had 1 winger available unless he wanted to give Bray a game. Gylfi is wasted out wide. Possession game has been poor and I think that's due to the formation but also Villareal have been impressive.

This is what pre season is about. No need to worry although that won't stop people.

I was really looking forward to todays game n'all

Felt very confident with our attacking options and thought a bit of defensive tinkering and we'd have a very exciting squad

Now all of a sudden we're looking thin and more fundamentally, completely shapeless. Dunno what to make of it really - I dont wanna get too despondant over a friendly match, but im struggling to pick any positives from this

The shape is all wrong but without Dyer and Routledge even Britton it's just too much to cope with today.

We won't see 442 again? And you are sure of that? because I'm not

I thought Garry would have learnt his lesson when we were completely outplayed by Southampton on the final day of last season, using a diamond formation

Can't say I'm as confident as most that we won't be seeing 442 very often this season.

Monk played it at least twice last season (Villa and Southampton) and we've spent a fortune on signing a second striker.

I think we'll see it more than people expect this season, possibly at home against the weaker sides. Hopefully not at United though.

Have any of you actually thought that monk may be trying to give all the players that have fighting chance of playing next week, a full 90 minutes to get their fitness up? He may also see it as an opportunity to try a few different things out? The over reaction is comical! A lot of you are wanting monk to fail for some reason, but to have such a negative view on a friendly is shocking and you really need a look at yourselves,!

No I agree...

I was hoping if there was an alternative it would be 352, but we don't have 3 quality centre halves to play that way. And Monk isn't tactically astute enough to make it work.

NO MORE 4-4-2 GARRY, FOR FUKE SAKE!!!

Nah it's just we're off the pace.. Can't see us getting anything against United... But we'll have a better picture against Burnley.. We need a few more additions.. Stop tinkering with formations.. and get a squad that's ready to assault the Premier League.. And our backline need to follow the A.Madrid model..(evidence in this game)

Thing is lads, say we're losing 1-0 in a week or so — back in our usual formation — first thing people will be calling for come around 70mins is for Gomis to come on. So what formation do we go for then? Because taking Bony off isn't gonna be popular. Trying another formation now isn't a bad thing at all, not learning from it if it didn't work out is. After all, people used to slate Rodgers for only having a plan A.
