Swans fans,
Written up some thoughts ahead of your game against Tottenham - http://www.TheFootbalLab.co.uk/2016/spurs-v-swansea-llorentes-impact/
Do you think you can get the best out of Fer and Sigurdsson in the same team? To me they both look best in a free role just in front of the midfield.
Good luck for the rest of the season. |  | | |  |

Conundrum. Defence in need of improvement in January? | | | |

Everything's in need of improvement, and before January!
We are not expecting our new owners to splash any significant cash in the transfer window. We are the poor relations of the Premier League, and probably won't be in it come the summer. | | | |

It's up to Bob to get more out of Fer defensively, to keep them both in the same team at the same time.
That's not a question of ability IMO. |  |

Question is, if Fer does become more disciplined and you drop him further back, do you leave out Cork or Fulton? Hear Fulton has been playing quite well. | | | |

Our best midfielder by some distance.. and that's not impressive.. sad state of affairs when your hope relies on Kingsley, Barrow, Fulton and Mawson for Premier League football.. but you can blame our previous owners for that.. The Americans already want to jump ship. |  |

The non Swans fan OP understands more about our own team and Bradley's dilemma than some of our perennially brain dead own supporters do. |  |

I don't see the problem. Fer would be rubbish in Siggy's role compared to Siggy as he wouldn't put the yards in off the ball. He's fine given a deeper role with licence to get forward, but just needs Jack or Leon to sit. JdG couldn't tackle either and he played that role fine.
Besides, we seem to be pretty much accommodating all our CMs in our loaded midfield set-ups this year! Fitting in 2 is for pansies, we can get 4 in easily. |  | | |

We don't need our number ten to run around like a headless chicken. Close down yes but the majority role in that position is to create, not defend. If Bob tries picking a team without Fer we'd be rubbish. | |

Depends how we set the team up. If you chose to press like we did against Liverpool then that's exactly what you need him to do. If we don't have a plan, like against United when some pressed and others didn't even in the same zones, then agreed he's just wasting his energy. I'm not saying one way is right, but they're both possibilities.
I'm not sure what Bob's trying to do though.
Fer can certainly play deeper but with license to get forward. We've been doing it for years with similar players a bit light defensively - Shelvey, JDG, etc. IF the other holding midfielder and defence are up to scratch. | | | |
