Swansea City 1 - 1 Newcastle United - 13/02/10 - post match reaction from pg 25


Recommended Posts

That pass along the ground from centre back to central midfield/or a striker dropping off is non existant in our team.

 

Swansea open up all their attacking play with that little ball. We just don't have the ability in our team to play that ball consistently.

 

Tragic stuff.

Swanswea players have time on the ball. Ours don't. Where is the closing down? Why are we showing them so much respect and sitting so deep? Anyone would think we're at Old Trafford.

 

We need to be 10 yards higher up the pitch and snapping at heels in midfield. We haven't got into this game at all so far, it's all Swansea.

 

Howay lads they are not that good.

As soon as one of our players gets the ball, they just don't get any support, the movement is dreadful. Do they even do the basics in training??

 

You have to wonder. Our passing and moving is just disasterous. We're not even talking about players like Nolan lacking pace. We're talkin gall of them looking absolutely clueless off the ball. Its a joke.

Smith starts diving in because he gets fed up. For the most part he keeps thing simple and has some nice little plays in midfield, however everyone else just hoofs it long and we lose posession. Eventually Smith just then starts diving in.

swansea are what happens when you have a strong manager instilling a playing ethos in the side. as a result they look coherent and more than the sum of their parts. i don't for one second think they're any more naturally suited to passing it about than us - colo, simpson, van aanholt, nolan, smith, loven, routledge would look like good passers in the swansea side. it's just that they are dedicated to maximising their strengths through playing a style of football and we're not.

 

we just hope we can hold out in defence and when we manage to fluke a couple of chances, hope we can put them away. tbf, there's a good chance we'll get something out of the game doing this, but we're riding our luck trying to get through an entire season this way.
