Presumably wasn’t fit for 90 minutes. I wouldn’t expect him to be after that long out.
It’s the same reason Allen plays an hour or so and doesn’t start midweek if he’s played on the weekend. Ronald and Franco rarely play full games either. |
Allen has surprised me this season. Always available. |  |

If Eom was fit, why did he not start?
Disrupting the march for a winner by substituting Vip and Ronald baffled me. I bet the Portsmouth manager couldn't believe his luck.
Agreed, Tymon looked outstanding at times today. |
He takes him off whatever the score .
Not fair to the lad |  |

Tymon is everything Williams wants Abdulai to be. | |

Tymon is hardly a good defender but he has merit in going forward when he’s not passing 45 degree backwards . He has a great cross on him .
Abdulai has nothing at all on his locker .
To bring him on the field of play when the likes of Franco are taken off and not there to start says it all for me really.
This league is so level it’s crazy
Nobody is safe
Ergo,we shouldn’t start a game as if Pompey don’t deserve to be on the pitch . Today was a day to go for the throat rather than ankle tap. | |

Another Tymon on the right side would see the swans clean up. I couldn’t get Key’s role today. He was in midfield for ten minutes. | |

It sometimes baffles me. Allen was running the show second half then he lumps him off.
He could surely have done another 10/15 mins.
Pearl-Harris is awful, yet rarely gets substituted. Has he a contract to say he must play 90 minutes?
Abdulai? Dear me. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

It’s hard to justify when he’s been anonymous for 70 minutes. I know he scored a cracker midweek.
I would actually have rathered leave him on and bring on Bianchini wide instead of Abdulai, but he wasn’t really justifying his place on the pitch.
Why didn’t we see Franco? Is he that knackered? I was expecting him on for Allen. |
A lot of them were poor or anonymous for the first half at least. Frustrating watch again and Williams doing his future prospects any good with his subs again. | | | |

Allen is way past his past .However,even at this stage , he can be so effective ,far more so than our skipper,who again was seen dribbling the ball towards his goal line instead of simply clearing it from danger.
Basic stuff .
Branco is subbed at 70 mins no matter what as is Vip,even when chasing a winner.Its not funny anymore .
Abdulai should not ever wear our shirt .
Ever | |

He could easily play midfield - he’s far more suited there . He’s our best (I know it’s a rugby term but) “ball carrier”. That is when we look so much more dangerous when the ball is brought forward because we are not good at passing thr ball forward quickly enough.
When he carries the ball forward thr oppositions set defence which is expecting us to slow pass them into a state of zombiefication all of a sudden gets pull around all over the place with defenders coming out of position and leaving gaps. These gaps are perfect for Cullen to exploit and bring other players into dangerous positions where we can hurt the opposition.
It’s not rocket science and I’m at a loss to see why Williams is unable to see this or does see it but ignores the tactic. The big problem I suppose is who do you drop in midfield. Franco is our best midfielder, Cullen is playing like a perfect 10 so that only leaves one who to my (admittedly sometimes poor but I’m old) memory has never even been substituted let alone left out .
I think you might guess who I mean.
In this ideal scenario we would need a pacy right back both good defensively and a decent crosser of the ball. Something for the January transfer window maybe? | | | |

Both he and Key really should play wide midfield .
Tymon is a good crosser but mediocre defender ,as is the case with Key .
Key loses he ball too easily .
Having Naughton at right back has always killed us and now it really should never be seen .

Cullen is looking so much better currently. We all know he can't do the CF job (to be fair we never expected him to,he was just filling in as the best option at the time) but as a 10 his head is up looking for the next pass immediately. | | | |
