Sunderland have been getting battered 2nd half. Swansea gonna pay for missing chances now.
-
He was ace, but tbf Man Utd have very little aerially.
-
Swansea are quality like. Outside of the top few they're the best footballing outfit, and they have multiple players in every position now.

souljas don't get water breaks when they're taking fire from ragheads!!

250th game for us.

Depay? Aka Gervinho 2? No end product... He's about 12 yeats old so he'll probably turn out OK, but if he knew what to do with the ball after beating his man, they'd have won by at least 2 today. Seems like a bit of a hype job for the minute. No, I didn't watch their Europa league match. He's clearly quality. Everything they did today went through him. Mata and Rooney are both slow and shite.

They've invested a fortune yet need to invest more even to compete for fourth imho. Swansea had more attacking prowess than them. The correct thing would be to get in a decent striker and sabotage Rooney. Clearly nowhere near the player he was. 1.2 million quid a month. Depay is ace but he's the only one who goes past people in their team. It's proper grim from a supposed Man Utd side. Saw some of their fans laughing at being linked to Sadio Mane but he'd walk into their team at the moment.

Debuchy was a rash fucking moron and overrated. Janmaat has the same problems, but he isn't fluffer to a wantaway midfielder hence he gets the nod from me.
-
Taylor getting in literally on the back of that good 6 months he had in 11/12. Pretty much a very good squad apart from at CB.

I'd seen Wijnaldum, Thauvin play and remembered Mitrovic scoring against Arsenal. Had never heard of Mbemba or Toney.

Froggy's little more than a parasite that feeds on the enjoyment generated by a successful football club he has no connection to. He's the cuckoo of football fandom. -
if he's good I get to watch a canny footballer, if he's a disaster I get to call Ashley and the club a bunch of clueless cunts. Win/win IMO.

Southampton and Swansea's scouting always seems ace because they both have stable, functioning football clubs. They have a continuity in decision making at board level and style of play that they want to see on the pitch. They continually sign players to fit into their system and to fill positions they need. They sell a player and they buy a replacement they've already had lined up. It is a constant rejuvenation and squad building process. Ours by comparison is a mess that reflects the lack of knowledge and stability at board level and the lack of an ingrained style of play. We change our supposed policy every summer, replace players on 1-2 year delays, sign players we don't need because they're cheap etc etc. Not to mention we have no real actual footballing ethos running through the club, resulting in players who don't settle and get worse playing for us. Carr is only one bloke. I'm sure he knows his football and can spot decent players, but that doesn't change the fact he's one man picking footballers for a PL club in a global game. It's inevitable our competitive edge is limited if we're scouting 2-3 countries with a budget that has us quickly moving onto our 3rd and 4th choices.

you mean on that video? Pretty sure that's Lille fans. They hate him because he signed for them and then whinged his way out without ever playing a game.'

Fellaini a better striker than Rooney

It's incredible how nobody has really noticed or commented on Rooney's massive decline since about 2011ish. It's literally been season on season.
