Put Vipo alongside Wales in the middle.They could work really well together. It will also draw defenders away from the wings allowing space for Swedes, Ronald etc running in to collect up ball either via a pass or clearance. ( Currently there are very few clearance balls because no one is having a pop from any real distance).
Everton had the guts to put on a young Rooney and he was soon terrorising defences. The same could well be true of Wales, but we need to find out.
Yalcouye seemed to be the only player threatening early on and not really sure why he was substituted.
I have always said that Ronald should be running down the centre. One of LW failures was playing him within an inch of the line, where his confidence just faded away.
Yalcouye was great. Ran twice the distance of anyone else on the pitch.
Widell looks a class act. Definitely Bergkamp type qualities.
Would have been nice to see more of Wales than a time wasting exercise in the last few seconds.
Only negative seems to be the new home kit. Seemed to be a lot more away shirts purchased by the fans from where I was sitting. Police type patterns/ markings really are not a good look.
Cyrus Christie added a bit of interest at the end of the game.
I like his swagger and confidence. Never worried enough to break out into a full run. Although this may be because he seems to have the physique and fitness of someone more typically leaving the Smiths arms at 14:30 than a player in the dressing room.
Swansea did have big periods of possession, especially in the second half.
But they weren't direct and threatening enough.
We lacked fight.
We need a Brick Top type character amongst the coaching staff to turn the players into horrible c***s that the opposition really do not relish playing against.
Don't really agree with the exhausted comment. Come on, these are professional athletes. They have played 90 minutes of football, not run a marathon at record pace.
Absolutely agree. Used to find it very frustrating when others would use the squad as a defence for Luke Williams. These are professional athletes that only have to play a couple of games a week. Not exactly Tour de France levels of endurance required.
Despite being a long term critic, I actually felt sorry for him.
Chairman needs to put him out of his misery. But given the activity in the recent transfer window, not sure that is now an option as funds must be limited.
The thing that continues to frustrate and amaze me is that during post match interviews following a poor performance, he criticizes the team, but seems to absolve himself of any blame.
The apologists were telling us that LW was doing a great job only a few weeks ago. Personally I had my reservations very early on. After a good few games I could still see no structure going forward. Attempts at pushing forward nearly always ended up in a back pass and hoof up from the keeper.
He pretty much immediately stopped playing Patino. I know some had reservations about Patino, but to me he had real class and the quality to score and produce goals. A good manager would have seen that and found a way to use the talent.
Ronald looked full of promise on arrival. Again, not used effectively and now struggling to make an impact.
Agreed, the squad is not the limiting factor these days.
