I don’t buy that last point. They’re professional footballers. They shouldn’t expect to be the first choice in their position all the time. If you get dropped then fight to get back in. Cook has, for the most part, stepped up from a poor start. He was not going to be a starter if JCS had come back fit. Nardi was poor on crosses last year. He does seem worse this season but he should work on crosses. |

I got back at 2am Thursday and was still feeling tired on Saturday after working Thursday and Friday. Not an excuse for yesterday but does make you think what muppets put this schedule together. Surely if we have to play 2 away games in a row, you make sure they are as far apart as possible. So why don’t we play on Tuesday at Swansea? |

7 of that eleven are yet to hit peak of their careers. Then add Dembele, Vale, Poku, Morgan….will all play a role this season. Thats 11 players who have a good chance of being sold for decent transfer fee in future. That’s the plan no? |

It’s not motivation or effort thats the issue. We need to sort out how we solve issue of more possession in certain games. I think we need to go 1 up front and play extra midfielder. |

He’s gone from anonymous to being our best midfielder. That’s a huge turnaround. With Burrell, Mbengue, he’s been our best player. |

Pretty tired after getting back at 2am. If that last shot had gone in, think id have walked home to clear my head.
I thought first half they didnt look like scoring and I felt pretty relaxed. As can happen, sense of injustice seemed to drive Swansea on 2nd half. This isn’t helped by fact that we are at our best when we defend deep and hit on break rather than having to control possession. The 2nd goal would have killed the game. And despite missing the chances, the changes 2nd half did that.
Positives - Madsen, Mbengue and Burrell. For consistency, id say these are our best 3 players this season.
Also shout out to Field filling it at left back. Out of side but did a good job there for the team. Chair looks in good shape and up for it.
Negatives - Kone and Dunne both below par for me. |

Agree Hayden should start over Varane. And Hayden was good first half but went missing 2nd half. But Varane, Chair and Dembele coming on did change the 2nd half so we actually looked threatening and created some chances. |

Massive stroke of luck for them with Gerrard and Muscat turning it down. They’ve ended up with a good manager after all that! |

There does seem to be a real desire to move the ball forward quickly. And this doesn’t necessarily mean a long ball. But breaking at pace seems to be key to the style of play. |

It’s one of those Veo cameras i think that tracks the ball only I think. Thought both Chair and Poku looked good. |

Isn’t also that when you go behind, the other team sits back and defends and hits on the break? So, possession stats will change as you chase the game. I also think when you’re at home, you always tend to have more of the ball. |
