Interesting article from Souness on how boring he sees this .
He quotes RM on saying he’s embarrassed to only be on five points but won’t change his police .
Possession stats mean nothing in reality.
Most impressive passing stats involve the ball passed in the defending third and shows most passing to be backwards or sideways .
It must be frustrating for a striker these days as they are not given the ball when they should .
We are so typical of this .
My opinion is that it is the primary reason so many home fans have walked . The fare is simply boring .
Fans want goals,excitement in front of goals . Endless sideways passing really is boring .
It’s time . |  |

Martin's possession style isn't doing very well for him tonight, 4 nil down and not 30 mins in.
Will he survive the night?
BTW, when we had Dyer and Routs we often used Dyer's pace for an "out ball" putting it up the line for him to chase, his searing pace getting him to the ball and relieving the pressure. We did not and never had played the kind of possession game that Martin had us suffering under. We didn't, for example, play suicidal passes in our own box, the ball was sent not shuffled around our own area.
You'd think you hadn't been watching us very long. |
Its a different level mun.
Clearly you need to strengthen with better players.
Factually Russ got Soton promoted by playing possession based football.
And thats what Swans are trying to do.
Didn’t we try more direct football under Duff.
How did that go ?
I hope you enjoyed that, i didn’t.
Nobody says Roberto, Brendan, and Michael Laudrup did not serve up exciting possession based football, of course they did.
Of course they were more careful in our own third.
But the Swansea Way is possession based football.
QPR would often give us the ‘boring, boring Swansea treatment’ in West London.
I think you would be better iff watching hoof ball in Legoland, plenty of tickets available. Hoof !! |  |

I really find this a lazy response. I don't think anyone wants a return to long all football or Michael Duff. But the style now is slow, labourius, possession for possession sake. Laudrup, Rodgers even Potter were front foot football with wingers, pace, RISK and enjoyment. Passing around the back trying to bore teams into submission is something entirely different |  |

Don't you think the first half yesterday was front foot football. |  | | |
