Canas had a very good game today anyone who says he didn't must be simple. Him and dyer the two best swans players today. |
Is the correct answer.
Gave away possession a couple of times but apart from that had a good game.
if Nathan's final ball had been as good as his approach work we'd have won easily.
Amat had a good game too. |  | | |

Football is right, Richie, some see and understand the game, have appreciation for tactics, when deployed by us or used against. To understand what it takes to come up against the finest footballing human beings on the planet and forge results playing the way we do.
You don't knock that, you don't look for sympathy when some explain that sometimes you talk out of your backside and you see the positives more than the negatives, cos if you're always looking for rubbish you'll end up in the dumps.

Our back four were normally rock solid but we were bullied so many times on the midfield last season with Britton as our defensive midfielder. What has suddenly changed since Britton now have the ability to control the midfield.
The massive advantage with Canas is he is stronger. Remembered (think it was in first half) when he tackled an Southampton player hard. Sometimes a team just need a hard hitter and Canas do it when it is needed. We took control of the midfield after 30 minuts and never gave it away since.
Canas was not perfect today but he is extremly important for Swanseas game. [Post edited 6 Oct 2013 20:17]

Our midfield bullied so many times last season? Our best season ever!!
Leon, even for his small stature tackles anyone no matter their size, he doesn't pull out and has been booked for fouling players much bigger than him, bullied FFS!!
We lost today because of a few silly mistakes and not being able to convert our chances.
Some of our players look out of form, some may be suffering after the Europa but we knew that might happen.
Bony has to start putting some of the chances he gets away. He doesn't look like the answer for me right now. Maybe he's taking a while to settle in properly but we need someone to be hitting the net, and he's not, not in the league anyway.
We all knew, we were warned, that teams in the Europa tend to struggle in the league. This is where I disagree with Laudrup, the squad size. He only wanted 22/23 players but with all these games we need 3/4 more surely. At least one more decent centre half anyway.
Our first team squad is struggling and we have no wing cover, if Chico or Amat get injured we're short at CB and if one of our strikers goes awol we have no cover there either. We have 18 fit first teamers, it's not enough.
Today wasn't Canas fault but I think we'd have done better with Britton. We look more a team with him there.
That's my rant, whether I'm right or wrong. | |

As far wrong as you'll ever be....
God, this is getting embarrassing now. Football isn't an exact science and on another day Lalana would have skied his chance and Nathan's would have gone in off the post. Bony's header would have been lower and Chico would have cleared his lines....
Then, and this is by far the most pathetic issue amongst some hopeless supporters, even though the game otherwise went exactly the same and how it did, they'd be whooping for joy and looking at the Champions League slots.
How come some supporters are like this? That was the Saints 5th consecutive clean sheet and they're in the top 4 for now. At least their fans can acknowledge who were the better team, does it not suit some of you to do the same? | |

Oh you pointless person. Deal with the facts and not with "what if"
We made some silly errors and failed to convert our chances.
We weren't bullied many times last season, just a few.
Lallana did convert his chance, Bony's header wasn't lower and Dyer's chance didn't go in off the post.
I could counter all that with "on another day blah blah blah" [Post edited 6 Oct 2013 21:56]

You can say many things about Britton and Guzman last season - but when they came up against physical strong midfielders, we saw too many weak tackles (some may remember Guzman attempt to tackle when Arsenal scored their second goal this season).
Swanseas midfield was too often last season, pressed too far back, were Canas and Shelvey now give us the ability to press our midfield forward, and help us dominate the midfield against stronger teams.
You think being our best season ever, mean no need for improvements. We played outstanding last season, but there are plenty things we can do much better.
Canas and Shelvey have improved our midfield considerably.

Why are people even bringing this up?
This wasn't an issue yesterday.
We lost because we did not take our chances. It's as if people just sit back, can't think of anything to blame and go WHERE WAS LEON BRITTON!
Give over, Canas did just fine. Would leon have somehow magically helped the ball in the net from the half way line? | | | |

Who decides what s wrong on here.
Who is right?
Ill tell that while football is not an exact science so is defining the intangible.
Its impossible to define the soul,if you got one that is.
Im not certain people post what the opposite of what they feel deep down.
All I know is that the same line is being trooped out,"we didn't take our chances".As Edward V111 said as he walzed into the godforsaken valleys-"something must be done".

Leon is better than Canas.
Canas was not to blame for todays defeat.
Leon would not have made a difference to the scoreline today.
I would rather see Leon play. |
In a nutshell.
Jokeren is obviously clueless and I'm beginning to wonder if he has ever seen us play? Britton, bullied? Never in a million years. By far the best 'technical' player we have too. Many of us will remember his first season, pre Trundle when he was our tricky, skillfull wide midfielder. Him and Marinez as a partnership had it sown up. He has matured into a fine central midfielder and there is not a better player in the squad.
Canas is a good player. |  |

"This is where I disagree with Laudrup, the squad size. He only wanted 22/23 players but with all these games we need 3/4 more surely."
The club doesn't have virtually unlimited funds like Citeh, Chelski etc., they are worlds apart.
Bringing in 3-4 more players would mean all the players brought in would have to be cheaper (lesser quality), both in transfer fees and wages. And there would be more fringe players in the squad who doesn't play regularly and therefore doesn't perform as well when called upon.
Quality over quantity.
The richest clubs can buy in quantity and still afford top quality.
Swansea on the other hand have to balance between quality and quantity.
With Williams and Monk injured it's too easy to say in hindsight another centre half should have been signed.
But what if it had been two keepers injured instead, or both Canas and Britton injured, or another position. 4 centre halves for 2 positions is plenty coverage compared to all the other spots where 2 players often cover 1 position. So if there should be more cover in central defence, there should be more cover for every position, increasing the squad size by maybe 50%, but the club can't afford that without seriously affecting the quality of players signed. And then people would complain too many, but poor players were signed instead of spending the money on quality players who can improve the squad. |  |

Excellent post.
Some just don't understand things and let their frustrations run away with themselves.
The Soton game had far more positives than negatives to take out of it. I wasn't an advocate of Michu and Bony versus Arsenal and I was worried that we were losing control of the game in the first 20 minutes, but after that the team really gave us a glimpse of that selection doing a proper job for us. | |

The people bitching about the performance yesterday are probably the same people who were raving after we beat West Brom, despite the fact that there was hardly any difference between the two performances.
I'd play Cañas when we're going to dominate the ball and need someone a bit more creative, Leon is more effective when we're likely to be under more pressure. |  | | |

I thought this too. Only difference was Morrison missed his easy chance at the Hawthorns and Ben scored his cracker. If we'd scored yesterday (certainly first) I reckon that's another comfortable win bagged. Still think we have a few levels to go up....our passing just looks a bit out of sorts to me. Some key new players/positions still getting used to things though so, on reflection, probably to be expected.
