Swans v. Middlesbrough

[CroJack]

A tough game.

 

[IanABS94]

Typical Warnock setup. Horrible horrible football and we're stooping to their level which he is so good at doing.

Thankfully a lucky goal will make them come out at us. Could be a good time to send on Whitaker or Lowe who both have pace to hit them on the break.

 

[CroJack]

They are well-organised, they are man-marking Roberts, they are running and fighting...

I'm at a loss. I mean, what defines us as a team these days? Cooper has turned us into Anonymous United truth be told. We're not a hoofball team because we don't have the height and strength up front. We're not a pressing team as we don't work hard enough. We aspire to be a passing team but our stats totally give the lie to that and we are definitely not a fit and hard-running team in the mould of Leeds. So quite what we are I haven't a clue. And, being honest, I haven't a clue as to why we're so high in the table. Cooper must be a reincarnation of one of Napoleon's lucky generals.

We fight and never give up. That's something. And we are good at defending.

Ref blows to cancel good goal from boro

 

[IanABS94]

Lucky as hell.

 

[KVetch]

I thought we got whistled for a penalty.

 

[IanABS94]

CAN WE WAKE THE FUCK UP.

But what's happened to that slick one touch football that we used to play, that used to have the opposition chasing shadows, it's us that's doing the shadow chasing lately ,and tiring ourselves .As Brendon Rodgers once said, when we have the ball we are resting.

NOTHING wrong with that goal, which should have been a penalty anyway. I think we'd better start calling Cooper Napoleon. But carry on playing the way we are we're going to meet our own Waterloo and sooner rather than later. This team is a sham!

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Fulton was fouled by the rear leg coming through

 

[IanABS94]

We deserve to be losing this.

 

[The Blobster]

under pressure here , need some cool heads , hard tackling and crisp passing and movement .



I won't hold my breath .

 

[CroJack]

These commentators on Sky are so biased. It was a foul on Fulton.

It's true, scoring is the most glaring issue. We don't know how to score from open play. We may have enough luck still to take us all the way. But I worry that we'll have trouble scoring enough in the playoffs to win promotion. It's 2nd place or nothing for us.

We don't. This is my thread

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Question looms - subs - Whittaker or Lowe and for which midfield player .... Hourihane for me

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Warnock sorted things out at half time. Has he done enough to out manage Andy Pandy

 

[IanABS94]

Get Hourihane off.
