Roque Mesa
at 14:43 11 May 2018

Just want to remind you all that we sold one of our only passionate players who actually cared abut the results to some Spanish super giants.

Imagine being in a relegation fight and loaning one of our only players who gave a dam to champions league football.

But of course with the clueless choices being made, we were left with Carrol, Clucas, Sanches, Andy King and Ki in midfield making it by far the worst midfield in the premier league this season. Why we thought loaning Mesa out to a bigger club after starting to make a impact I will never understand...

Negative tactics, negative results.
at 19:39 22 Apr 2018

Before I say this I just want to say that Carlos has done a great job since arriving at the swans and has helped us get out of the clement nightmare we endured this season.

However, that is not to say that the last 6 weeks has been extremely questionable tactically and mentally.

I will use the example of the West Brom game away from home. We clearly set up negatively and let the side who are relegated play the ball and dominate us showing very little attacking intent in till however they score and we realise we actually need to score a goal.

And that’s when we start to attack get the goal only to go back to negative defensive tactics and let them dominate the last 15 or so minutes.

If Carlos had done his research prior to this game it was clearly obvious that the only chance to get a result against Man City is to press the defensive and play with attacking intent. This is clearly shown in both games against Liverpool and Man United in the second half.

And yes, of course they are better sides than us but you can also look at what Crystal Palace did to them where they played with no fear and got a point (and a last minute penalty to win it).

If the gameplan today really was to sit back and just play for a draw I would be stunned, if there is one team you don’t want to allow the ball it is Man City with KDB and silva in midfield.

I am not even asking to get a result against City because of course they are a far better side, my point is to at least try to attack and make them panic and maybe test our luck and see what we could do.

To sum it up, playing for a low score line like we did today and still conceding 5 is not only a disgrace to the club, it is also a disgrace to the traveling fans who believe it or not actually paid money to see that game today despite it being on tv. To play 54 passes in the first half is unacceptable and the Swansea way is being eroded every time we play like that.

In my opinion, like what Monaco did a few weeks back every fan who went to the game today deserves a refund!
