I don't think we are, he's just a cheeky, clueless idiot. There's nothing wrong with passing the ball around. Maybe he thinks it's best to just not bother passing and just hoof the ball up the pitch all the time. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Alan Hansen attacks our passing philosophy. on 13:25 - Jan 20 with 8035 views | AnotherJohn | We shouldn't take too much notice of Hansen, but I would be in favour of mixing things up a bit. This would involve some variation from our usual style with a few more balls played into the box early and more bodies converging on the box at key moments. I get depressed when we have a free kick in the opponents' half and play it short backwards to our back four. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

We need to show more intelligence from now on in. Against Fulham, we need to play at a higher tempo from the start. Get the crowd into the game. Once we are in control of the game, then we can slow the tempo down, let them come at us and counter effectively. Too many games this season we haven't been in control. Go a goal down, then we're f**ked! It's all about control. Our possession football is brilliant for having a relatively healthy goal difference, the down side is, how often does a Swans team go a goal down and come back to win? As I say, intelligence. | ![](/images/avatars/9471.gif) |

I think he's wrong in attacking our passing game but we are a bit weak in the final third and could do with more incisive passing there. What Hansen suggests though is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

the 'attacking game' has been slowed down to bpm of a Miles Davis track t'all need to counter-attack at pace...if you don't agree holla at me | ![](/images/avatars/13102.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Alan Hansen attacks our passing philosophy. on 14:17 - Jan 20 with 7808 views | Swanzay | We certainly do need to mix it up a bit, we have become to predictable at times, oponents just need to pack the midfield and play deep and we look short on options.

Alan Hansen attacks our passing philosophy. on 14:22 - Jan 20 with 7788 views | MattG | Won't bother discussing Hansen's comments as they don't warrant it. However, one thing I would like to see us do is take more time over free kicks in the opposing half - almost every time we take them short and quick but to little effect. Now that we have Bony, the option of a ball into the box is a much better one than it was and something that, IMO, we need to look at more often. | ![](/images/avatars/9443.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Tremmel should get rid of that ball like it's a hot of a lorry y'all, don't get caught in possession just move it forward when the opposition are not in position aka counter-attack. Take my advice, my advice puts the thread on people's backs y'all | ![](/images/avatars/13102.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Alan Hansen attacks our passing philosophy. on 14:33 - Jan 20 with 7737 views | Swanzay | Weve always been historically shite and corners and freekicks, the current issue I would say is the lack of height in midfiled and attack, when JJS went of Amat was the only player over 6ft from these areas. | ![](/images/avatars/8787.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Alan Hansen attacks our passing philosophy. on 14:33 - Jan 20 with 7735 views | caerleon_jack | I dare say this won't be the only such article before the end of the season - we have to remember that for the past two seasons we've been showing up these so-called experts. Favourites to go down in our first year, favourites to go down in our second. Now we're going through a rough patch and the tables have turned. Most of what he says is nonsense and doesn't tie up with what actually happened in the game. He makes it sound like once they scored the rest of the game was spent playing in our own half with our players being driven backwards by a relentless onslaught. Granted we had patches where we played poorly, but his comments only match what I assume was the typical MoTD highlights package (ie show everything the opposition did and very little of what we did) | ![](/images/avatars/8821.gif) |

Alan Hansen attacks our passing philosophy. on 14:39 - Jan 20 with 7702 views | perchrockjack | passing stats are only for geeks. They mean that a team passes ther ball more. We do it where it doesn't hurt. We do it when we don't need to and give stupid goals away. We pass often just for the sake of it and that is what Hansen is getting at. No need to chuck the philosophy but just do it when we need to and not because its something that we do. To stay up we re going to have to mix it up as the likes of Pulis will have a plan ready as Sherwood had yesterday, ie to stop us passing it around in the middle and break us up then hit us on the break. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Our passing game is one of our lines of defence. Can you imagine how many extra goals we'd concede if we only had 30-40% possession? | ![](/images/avatars/9212.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

recently it's been a cause of conceded goals, we give the ball away under no pressure in our own half and often they score from it | ![](/images/avatars/8746.gif) |
