| Swansea, I don't get it. 15:26 - Apr 5 with 4061 views | ChurchOfLes |
Just got my ticket for Swansea next Wednesday.
Now can somebody clear this up, is there any truth in this Swansea playing beautiful football rumour that's going around?
It might be just me being jealous or blind because we came up at the same time but, I don't see it. When we were at their place I saw a lot of passing around the back four, it wasn't particularly pretty.
The way Adel took his goal in Saturday, now that my friends, that was beautiful... right? [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

I think Swansea may beat us.
I hope not but I have a feeling - typical as its one of the only games my Dad can get to. |  | | |

Fatigue could be our biggest enemy on Wednesday night. A lot of chasing and running this Sunday. |  |
| Wish I could be like David Watts |

well a simple look at the premiership table should answer your question  |  |

Surely they can take two tough games in 4 days, being professional athletes and that? | | | |

They made mugs of the Fulham side that made mugs of us, that Sigurdson has taken them up a level. |  |

This is not a question of success HollowayRanger, it's of playing beautiful football.
You think they do play pretty football? | | | |

Can't we just admit they've had a far better season than us, without spending millions on so called star players.
Having said that, if we stay up we'll do far better than them and Norwich next season imo |  |

The team that turned up last Saturday will only allow beautiful football in their own half. Otherwise? we're screwed! |  | | |

Crap possesion football, better results than us addmitidly but god forbid MH ever reverts to playing that style.
Barcelona they ain't, even a dumbed down cheaper version, as much as the pundits are wetting their pants about them.
Arsenal play a similar game but with a bit more thrust, didn't work for them.
If we play similar style as when we played Asenal and let them play silly buggars in their own half no reason why we can't get something from the game.
Our problem is putting in a good performance over a period of games.... |  | | |

All the players have been interviewed on the official site and they sound really positive about 'matching the fans passion', 'putting in a shift' and who can forget 'it's more than a game now'.
Nothing can go wrong. | | | |

That just reminded me of when Derry tracked Walcott down the wing, forcing him to mess up and put his cross out.
That bit was brilliant.

Look at what happened to them at Spurs, they had huge possession, but Spurs had the majority of therritory, when it came to actually attacking they mostly tried to lump the ball long and spread it wide for the wide men (like Routledge) to run onto.
Most of the tiki taka stuff is around the back four which Spurs let them do and didn't try to run themselves into the ground to get at the ball, Spurs had many more shots and decent possession than Swansea did.
The secret isn't to press them too hard too far back, Spurs didn't and they gave the ball back rather quickly. |  | | |

He's 34 and the issue is not Derry asa player its Derry and others playing two high intensity games in the space of 4 days. We looked lethargic and Derry amongst others struggled to get into the game against Sunderland which was also 3 days following another high intensity game v Liverpool. That was my point | | | |

He did alright last season when we 46 games and he played in virtually every single one of them, if not all of them! He hasn't played anywhere close to that many games this season. If he does get tired he can always be subbed.
But to use Derry's age against him for his performance against Sunderland is harsh. What's the excuse for the other 10 players on the pitch???????

With the Jacks playing the ball around in their own half, there will be plenty of time for tired legs to have a bit of a rest. |  |

Wouldn't be surprised to see Adel score a similar goal to the Arsenal one.  |  |

I must say i think Swansea have been fantastic and play great football.
When i play, i've always favoured a short passing game keeping as much possession as possible. It makes you feel like you are in control of the game when you always have the ball. I'd love QPR to be having two thirds possession every match, wherever on the pitch that may be.
And for Swansea to do it at this level, having come from the bottom reaches spending bugg@r all money, forcing the likes of Man City into making a first half subtitution of an England international because they were being humiliated, is absolutely fantastic. Incredible guts and bravery to play the ball in your own areaas they do at this level for such high stakes. Swansea with something like 4 of the 10 top passers in the world this year, Leon Britton 2nd to Messi. Can't believe some of you are actually knocking that! I tend to always the favour the tiny sides supposedly without any chance ie Blackpool, Swansea.
Of course they could do with a touch more quality in the final third, but that's no surprise given their limited resources. Give them Messi as well, i'm fairly sure they would improve.
Swansea have been simply magnificent, the best team in Britain 2011/2012 imo. Although we were better than them last season and this season. |  | | |
