Diame? But why?

Commentators claiming it was an OG. That would be pretty harsh!

Time to switch Joselu for Gayle now.

Seriously? WTF?

Good finish. Shame about the flag - almost played on.

BBC say stoke touched the ball in our box once in the whole first half.

Love the pressing

Joselu ffs

Currently hard. Hold up, I'm still busy with Triggs over here

Yedlin is proper rapid

What a ball from Mbemba!

consult a doctor for erections lasting longer than 4 pages I'll sort him out.

Elliot showing why Rafa trusts him.

Ritchie playing ridiculously

What a ball

easy MOTM Sky will give it to some Swansea player though He's been ok, but not his best game. From our side I'd have Joselu, Ritchie, Clark or Gamez so far. What game are you watching? Merino's been the best player on the pitch from both sides. Not sure I agree. He's been decent for sure, especially second half, but that dive takes off some major points in my book.

Pretty pathetic today.

Thank fuck for Lascelles.

I think we dodged a bullet on Abraham. He's like a pissed off Sammy Ameobi.

FYP

Think if we play Joselu upfront we could potentially go 4-3-3. Drop Perez, have Hayden holding and Merino and Shelvey in central midfield. I know i have said this before but IMO Rafa won't do that. Relies too much on the wingers, not enough mobility around the striker and will lead to the striker being isolated due to the midfielders in question not being comfortable in the final third. Fact of the matter is we need an attacking midfielder we can rely on, quite obviously none of them are good enough. Yeah, you're likely right that Rafa won't go for that. In any case a pairing of Merino and Shelvey would work if we stick with two. Merino is fantastic defensively and his work rate is great. I'd prefer we keep Merino and Hayden. It's worked well today, and Shelvey doesn't deserve to walk straight back in.

Mbemba's just fantastic. He never stops running. Even when he doesn't get the ball he's pulling their FBs out of position. Without his run Hayden wouldn't have got in there.
