Reply | Time to move Key?

LW obviously saw what Klopp did with Trent A-A playing the inverted fullback role last season and thought he'd try it with Key. I don't dislike that - it worked really well first half v Coventry. But Key needs to learn not to get caught in possession when doing that or when he goes on one of his blind alley runs. |

I have mixed feelings about Key. I don't think he's a bad defender. He looks OK when he's carrying the ball forward. But, when he goes on his meandering runs into midfield, how often does he lose the ball? When he does lose the ball he's pretty much out of the game and it exposes us to the transition - which is arguably our weakest point. I also think he gets muscled off the ball too easily. He's played the inverted fullback recently - most notably in the first half against Coventry - and he's OK - just OK. To play in midfield - especially the centre of midfield - you need to be quick of mind and feet. And he's not. For me, he's got lots to work on but he's got time. |

Not sure what anyone sees in MPH. He shouldn't be anywhere near our starting XI. |

Ah, that's my problem right there. I paid to watch on Swans TV. |

If you're referring to Anthony O'C, I guess half the problem is that he's sitting in a room at The Liberty watching on a screen, so doesn't get the atmosphere from the stadium. If he's quiet it's because the sound he's being given from the stadium is too low. When he's at the Liberty he has to raise his voice to be heard over the crowd noise. Plus he doesn't have co-comms this season - not sure why that is.
Mind you - he's not the brightest. Last week he commented that there were 4 Norwich subs warming up when there should only be 3. Except that rule has changed - you can now have 5 subs warming up. |

Yes they are. Not the club as such but the company in charge of the stream. |

I watched the paid-for SwansTV on my laptop and the audio was ahead. Very annoying. |

Not sure what that has to do with anything. I was merely pointing out that the list in the OP isn't quite right. It mentions all the other players that are on loan but not Mepham. |

Do you feel the same when you see the likes of Derby County and Bolton Wanderers in a league below us? |

It always amuses me when posters use phrases like "most of us" or "the vast majority of us". You can only know that by conducting a statistically significant poll of the fans. I presume you didn't do that.
Personally, I don't want to get promoted playing turgid football. |

No.
Imagine having to watch Luton style football every week. |

To be clear, I said that I didn't know whether he was correct that we were 5th in the xGA table. I was merely pointing out that being at the top end of the xGA table is good (because it's an upside down table) - which some people didn't seem to understand.
Also, different models calculate xGA (and xG for that matter) in different ways so it depends where he's getting his stats from.
Either way, I'd be quite happy to see the back of him. |

I'm no fan of Duff but he's right about xGA. I don't know why people are struggling with this.
xGA is a measure of how many goal chances you allow the opposition. A low number is good, the lower it is the higher you are in the table. So if we're fifth in the table, that's pretty good. We're currently the fifth best in the league at restricting good chances for the opposition.
I can't confirm that we're fifth but he has analysts that tell him this.
On the flip side, I bet our xG is really low. Which is bad. |
