It’s the first home game of the EFL season for Swansea City, the next home game will be the second and so on. It was the same last season as well, and it didn’t even get a mention, so this time around let’s pause for a second and have some consideration for consecutive numbering. For counting purposes it’s unrivalled. Oh and by the way, don’t steal my info like you do stories ya belting prunes.

Happy to see Ntcham having a start. He’s at 10 I imagine?
Manning for Sorinola seems fair.
Very good team. Very good chance of a win today. |  |

They didn’t outdo them though, Oba missed.
People are concocting fantasy scenarios by using one way logic, it’s nonsense. |
He missed an open goal from 2 yards.
He out-did th opposition, plus himself.
Unless you are suggesting the opposition caused him to miss, or the keeper somehow did the right thing and was unlucky? | |

More strength on the pitch for me, I would have been happier with Paterson instead of Fulton who offers little. Depends on the formation but watch the flute score today now I’ve said that 😂 |  |

Of course, he missed because he was pushed wide and put under pressure. He wouldn’t have missed if he was middle of the goal under no pressure.
There was no luck involved, just poor technique.
They had more chances to score than we did. Draw was about fair, if one team deserved it over another though it would be them. |  |

Maybe RM still isn’t fully confident in the defensive side, so wants 2 deeper midfielders.
I agree though, both Ntcham and Pato attacking would be lovely to see. | |

Omg, the guy was on the goal line. No pressure. He was passed the defender. It had to hit his foot in the correct place and it was a goal mun. Are you insane?
And you go on about others not being able to admit things and having a motive 😂 dear me | |

What am I admitting exactly? He should have scored without a doubt, but he had poor technique clearly spooked by the defender coming across and took his eye off it. That’s football. What are you possibly disagreeing with?
Some of their chances they should have buried and not given Fisher a chance to save. I don’t know what point you are making?
My motive is to speak about the reality of the situation, not make up fantasy scenarios where we finish our chances and the opposition don’t. [Post edited 6 Aug 2022 14:36]

Not poor technique. You don’t need technique to put that away.
My dead gran could have literally scored that.
Just place a couple of her metatarsals in the correct place on the floor and the ball would have bounced off them and gone in.
Defender wouldn’t have had a chance.
Fact.
No arguments needed.
You are being hypocritical. Again. | |

Of course you need good technique to make goal bound contact with a ball fired across the box. He took his eye of it and made contact with his heel, that’s poor technique.
You are being silly again. Like usual. | |

That’s technique. Body shape, eye on the ball - technique.
He made an error by thinking it was easy and relaxing on both. It was poor, not unlucky. Nothing unlucky about it.
You have literally just been banned for trolling and have come back doing exactly the same thing. You certainly have a motive and I will call it out every single time, as I always have done when you are misbehaving.
Deal with it kid. | |

Commotose stuff
Clearly nothing has been learned.
This is criminal
Last week,a soft goal,today the same.
Naughton is simply taking the yss.Just how long does he need on the ball.
The whole team is under a cloud.
Get him out and do it Now | |

Absolutely nothing has changed from what I can see.
Apart from a truly disastrous half a game or so during pre season where he experimented with a different shape, we still look as clueless as ever.
Quite how his recent comments haven't opened the eyes of even our most deluded fans, I'll never know.
Passing to... make the opposition tired? Incredible.
It saddens me to listen to interviews and watch highlights of us under Rodgers, where we passed along the back four with the express purpose of dragging key opposition players out of position and then pouncing when that happened. E.g pulling Blackburn's right side all over the place before Mark Gower immediately pinged a cross to the wide open Lita who scored unmarked.
Russell Martin is a fraud, and if you still haven't realised that, I truly question your intelligence. |  |

Martin .
Point is just why people defend him
Every player is getting pysed off apart from Naughton and Grimes who are his favourites when in actual face both should be benched
Naughton the great .A club legend.One who is central to all,same as Grimes,captain anonymous

They will stop running soon, remember…. and at least we are defending with mentality.
The fact people are defending this stuff without question is quite disgusting now. | |

It is woeful Blackburn don't have to do anything sit back watch us pass it about at a snails pace wait for the inevitable mistake.
Nothing has changed since last season and no sign that it will anytime soon.
Carry on like this and Russ is toast. | |
