Because he’s judging the bounce which evaded him.

Fucking annoyed right now

Longstaff is class man

Almiron in the atsu role today and lord we’d be doing much better

We gotta be getting that on target

We really need to win the second ball more often

That Ayoze counter was fucking brilliant. My god.

Atsu isn't particularly as quick as he used to be IMO, a player who seemed much faster before his injuries.

Genuinely crazy what happened to Swansea after what looked like so much promise. Feel for you Groo.

Probably what I'd go for as well. Really nice for us having the selection headache. Will have an even bigger one for Wolves. Would either drop Ritchie back to LWB and just throw Almiron in or have Ritchie drop to the bench and so on. I think we've been through this couple times now. Almiron isnt playing. Didnt get the work permit in time. Was referring to the Wolves match (re Miggy)

Lejeune in that lineup over Fernandez and that's how I'd line up. Reward Ritchie for his hard work at LWB by playing him further up field and Atsu drops out.

faaaa, i love this bloke.

I'd much prefer not wasting my brain power and emotion on hating MA and wishing for all this shit to burn down for 2-3 seasons to get rid of him, to then build it back up for 2-3 seasons. Just want to carry on talking actual football tactics, players, rumors etc. with you lot, having some hope we could win something and/or build something under Rafa and be in the PL.

If he gets iron clad assurances that he can sign more Almiron type priced players, he will stay IMO. As much as I have my burn it all to get rid of MA feeling, if they finally made Rafa happy I'd say long may it continue in the top flight.

Feel like if Almiron settles the way we hope, it’ll really be great to see how Muto and Ayoze get on playing in a side with him - even if they end up playing the sole striker role to spell Or rest Rondon. Almiron is big on playing a ball into a striker and taking a lay-off and sprinting through midfield and defensive lines at pace

Shit that’s a good point

It’s funded via a Barclays overdraft facility that will then be paid off with PL money. Chronicle wrote an article about it.

I think he's simply played as good as Ki has for us in the few matches he's played and better than anything Shelvey has done for us this season. Diame has covered so much damn ground, he's still our best holding player when fit. So on just simple form alone for Longstaff and Diame is a better all around holding player than Hayden.

He's also a boyhood fan of ours too. Hope he comes back and is a success.

Sort of looking like the Hayden we thought would be our main DM a season ago during the beginning of the season.

kasper, you're a legend.

He's not just a counter attacking player man, he runs at people with the ball and he creates for himself or for his team mates. His best highlight stuff has been the long runs because they are brilliant to watch but if you see just regular matches he's good overall game.

He featured for Monaco until Henry benched him. If Ritchie didn't smack that penalty in and we ended up drawing vs Man City I suspect most would want to see Barreca starting ASAP to provide the same attacking threat of PACE that we have on the right side with Yedlin.
