Swansea away pre-match thread

[BucksBlue]

Tell me how Nasri has been playing these last few weeks?

He was MoM against Stoke at home.

 

[mosssideblue]

Sorry for having an opinion.



It's exactly that sort of attitude that got us into this position in the first place.

My thinking is why were in a scrap for 4th? OK

 

[cookster]

He's been AWOL recently

Apparently he's fucked off with the managers tactic......

Absolutely no need to chase this game and have the team strung out from front to back, regardless of the space Swansea will give up.

They embarrassed us at home on the counter attack.

Surely there is a balance between having an attacking threat and being a little more solid when the conditions are in our favour.

4-4-2 is always about who scores the first goal, 4-2-3-1 is always about knowing you are in control and the chances will still come your way.

This,saved me typing it

There are some right fickle bastards on here. Been moaning for Kelechi all fucking season. He
has one off game and now it's what he done to justify his position. I give up.

bob on matey

No.

What it means is De Bruyne is shunted out wide when he is most effective in the middle behind Aguero. It's a bizarre decision.

Nasri should be in for Kelechi as well. It could be he isn't fully fit so I'll hold up my hands if that's the case but if not its another perplexing call.

We were over run by Arsenal in the 2nd half last week playing with 2 strikers and that actually cost us because we conceded when the whole stadium could see it was coming.

Our most productive part of that game was with De Bruyne playing centrally

 

[Ric]

Bit more nervous now having seen the starting line-up. Was convinced that Pellegrini would play an extra midfielder as a percautionary measure in the circumstances. Just hope the decision to start Iheanacho is vindicated.

wouldnt it be funny if we get beat and united do

Exactly - keeping it solid but with a eye to attack when opportune.
Risky, unnecessary set up this.

Watch the players, is a striker dropping deep 4 4 2 or 4 2 3 1?

Answer: It does not matter, it is just how the players apply themselves. Some 'fans' believe all the sky rubbish.
