This is now the poorest attacking Swansea team I have seen in a long time. I have watched Ronald go from an exciting, free running forward into a player clearly lacking confidence, shackled by the tactics employed by LW.
To suggest it is nothing to do with the manager is being incredibly generous towards him. Some might say deluded.
Have to say I agree about LW and there is no sign of improvement. Moving forward Swansea remain poor. Ronald and Eom need to get ball in the middle not 2" from either touchline. Not sure I saw a single pass forward into the centre today. LW seems to prefer ineffective piddling about on the wings, rarely resulting in any danger to the opposing team. Feed balls into the middle while breaking forward at pace and put Eom and Ronald in there to finish them off.
Little value in looking up when there is no movement from your teammates. There is no fluidity in the team. All very rigid and stiff. Not a team that a skillful player such as Ronald would excel in. Eom is struggling for the same reason. It is also why Patino was not at his best last season despite clearly being an exceptionally talented player. However LW seems to think he is doing a good job after his peacocking on the pitch at the end of the Norwich game.
Might just be me, but I would need the assistance of the Bletchley Park codebreakers to work out what LWs tactics are when moving forward from defence.
LW looks like a competitor in one man and his dog spending the whole match running around his technical area shouting instructions. Surely this should all be sorted at the training ground.
I genuinely believe, and did so prior to the end of last season that Duff was a better manager than Williams. Under Duff Swansea would still score goals on a break after dispossessing the opposition (e.g Patino goal against Sheffield Wednesday). There is no sign of this now. If possession is gained, it usually ends with a back pass to defense and then the keeper.
In training sideways and back passes should be banned. Surely would result in a much better team. Swansea also lack movement when midfielders are looking for forward passing opportunities. I believe tactics and coaching are more important than the transfer market right now.
