Klaus Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Sick of hearing about swansea's 'excellent passing football' all they do if fanny around passing the ball sideways across the back four with little or no urgency to get it forward quickly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 swansea are fuckin boring. agreed. its not nice watching them pass it at the back. All this Barcelona talk is f***ing s****. they have no objective with their game. TBF if Barca didnt have Messi thier directness would disappear and they would be exactly like this.

Ronaldo Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Tactics are spot on. Need certain individuals to improve this half though and I could see us getting a couple more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezeri Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 We leading, we're 5th, I'm happy. But that possession stat is embarrassing. Doesn't really matter when Swansea are not creating anything! Except some long range shots have they had one single good goal scoting chance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Working well so far but it's asking a lot to do this for the whole 90. Worst thing is they're shit at the back if you get at them as was shown for the goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 People are complaining? Swansea dont look like.scoring at all. Let them have the ball 40 yards out. Be patient and wait for opportunities on the break, they will come Aye, it's almost as if possession leads to a team building pressure and scoring...

eliassenfredrik Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Ba needs to step it up. Some very poor touches and missed passes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groo Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 We get a lot of the 'this is boring' comments by opposition fans, especially when their team doesn't touch the ball a lot. Our game is based on patience, keep possession while looking to probe forward, if nothing shows, don't do a hit and hope, keep the ball. That way the oppo don't get that 50/50 ball and attack us, while you don't have the ball you don't score and while your chasing shadows your players tire. Doesn't always work obviously as your one up, but its worked often enough this season for us to be almost safe. I'm sure all us Swans fans would love to see more going on in the oppo's box, maybe that will happen when we can just nip out and buy players for 9 million plus. Until then we'll stay patient. Until about 3-4 years ago our record buy was just over 300K and that record had stood since 1981. Looking at some of your guys comments, it appears your bigger fans of the 'Stoke City' style, if you can call it that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 1st half highlights make it look like an even half. Each team had 2 chances from open play plus their FK. Everything else was meaningless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Pretty tedious to watch that every week. A 101 passes for what? Very little. We still look dangerous on the break but Ba looks out of sorts and HBA has only shown glimpses so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Think I'd rather watch wimbledon of old rather than Swansea. Passing for passing sake. Create nothing. Typical English attitude. It´s great to watch, and they can´t concede as long as they have the ball. So, for 78% of the match so far we haven´t even had the possibility to even build something that could potentially lead to a goal....too bad for Swansea that we have Cisse.

Tsunami Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 We must keep our shape and concentration - if we do we'll get another break on them if we don't they'll frustrate us into conceding and if we let in 1 we'll let in another. A real test of character this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.S.R. Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 We're all complaining at this slow-as-fuck game, but they're going to be fresh as a daisy for Bolton. Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if this is Pardew's thought process today. Chasing the ball back is hard work too, you know. Pard's tactics board just has 'Come at me, bro' written on it.

Yorkie Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 More than happy with that half. How else are you meant to play Swansea? They're all fart and no shit at the moment; confident of a victory here. Jonas needs to release the ball quicker and Ba needs to pick his arse up, but other than that. Fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Let them have the ball again. No point pressing, they don't really know what to do. They can keep alternating between Williams and fucking Caulker for as long as they want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
