"It looks more and more likely Clement will be the escaped goat"
Sometimes I don't know whether this is used as tongue-in-cheek, or whether people really think it's "escaped goat".
But anyway, the game was rubbish, as expected. Why should I be arsed when the players can't be arsed either? |
It is called confidence. Clem is inexperienced and can't motivate or get the best out of them.
As for the 'escaped goat' .....it is a joke. Shirley you can see that. I would of thought you would anyway ;-) |  |

Two nil down at home, 85th minute. We were still playing with nine men behind the ball. Pathetic really. Does anyone know what our attacking plan is supposed to be? |  | | |

I would look a beaten man too if professional footballers couldn't track a runner and string a pass together. It must be hard not to look fed up!
How has he lost the dressing room? I'm not saying PC can go without blame this season so far, his tactics are negative and the football on display is frustrating and dull but tonight that wasn't his fault whatsoever. I don't think the Swans are in a position to sack yet another manager 11-15 games into a season. Who is there out there for us to replace him and work with these players? We've recruit very poorly and bought every center midfielder available to us. |

Just home. We were no worse than Saturday and a few put in reasonable shifts, but the same inability to make and take chances that has dogged us all season was still evident. Going out of the cup is no great loss as we're in a relegation fight. If nothing changes we are going down. | | | |

There isnt one.
We had a single plan last year and that was set piece and crosses onto Llorentes head. This year we do not even have that.

nah i think first half we looked ok, it's the downing tools at 2-0 that worries me. They just gave up |
They passed it about well in the first half, but played not to get badly beaten.
Sad thing is....They looked happy to just lose 2-0. Shite attitude |  |

Clement was being pragmatic I expect. We could have pushed on and lost 4-0. Makes no difference in the cup, of course, but depends whether you think the effect on our already low confidence would have been worth it. | | | |

We could have pushed on and got a goal, or a shot? |  |

This was the most worrying thing. After we conceded nobody spoke to one another. Just took up their positions in silence. No fight in them and the mood is not good. |  | | |

Did anyone expect anything different with that line-up?
Our squad is pish. We all know why. |  | | |

And there was me thinking did this guy really be brought up through the Ajax academy?
He didn’t get too much wrong tonight but it shows how far we have fallen so quickly - the quality is just not there |
vdH isn't an Ajax academy product. They bought him from Utrecht when he was an established player, but he never really made the grade there (injuries didn't help). | | | |

We can call Clement all we like, and with some justification.
The fact is we sold our two best players and failed to replace ageing squad members whilst showing younger players the door to save money. The players we have signed are failing to get up to speed or just not good enough it seems.
This is a team assembled on the cheap by an egotistical man trying to justify himself to the Yanks.
It has left an inexperienced manager rudderless and unable to motivate the squad.
There may be another Guidolin out there but would you trust Jemkins to find him?
It looks more and more likely Clement will be the escaped goat. Curt with Leon will be put in temporary charge whilst Jenkins has two months of dithering before announcing he cannot find anyone better and they are in charge until the end of the season.
Championship here we come as there will be sod all left to buy players with in January as that will Have been spunked on paying yet another manager off.
Now... where are my shoe laces?........ [Post edited 24 Oct 2017 21:57]

We haven't got that option of a couple of players to get us out of jail now. And it was quite predictable really. There were glimpses last season and this that the rest can play football, but only glimpses. You only have to see the uncertainty and time it takes for people like Naughton and Fed to move the ball to know that were not going to play out from the back as we did of old. And that goes all the way through the team. We're not comfortable on the ball. When was the last time we retained possession through a flowing move from front to back ending in a goal? It doesn't happen often.
Llorente caused chaos the box, he could be a real physical presence. Tammy doesn't have that. Siggy was reliable in terms of discipline defensively and of course had quality on set pieces. We don't have that now either. Sorry to bring those two up - but failure to fill their boots has hamstrung us this season. Much as the failure to fill Ash's boots buggered us up at the start of last season. Loosing Siggy hasn't really lowed s down as the rest aren't able to move the ball quickly and penetrate (as Brendan would have said) with any pace anyway.
Someone might still come good as it took Llorente a few months to find his feet last season. That person this year looks like it has to be Wilf. So fingers crossed he finds a way to start bangng them in, otherwise we're fooked. [Post edited 25 Oct 2017 0:42]
