Garry was just on SSN. The phrase that stuck in my mind was: 'no threat until that one chance'. Unfortunately I saw a different game where Norwich wrestled control from us early in the second half, and later came close twice in a two minute spell before eventually scoring. Garry's body language and downcast eyes did not look good to me. |
Have not seen any of the game, but just reading the bbc football report on my phone and its pointing towards a deserving win for Norwich with the Swans not having a single shot on goal even though they had 2/3 of the possession. A bit early to panic, but with 40 points the milestone its almost 1 point a game now on average which would not be enough, really struggling to see on current form, set up, options who the Swans are likely to beat in the short / medium term, even changing Monk now may unsettle some of the players, and who do you bring in??? |  | | |

Monk does have KOL and Beatie to help him make choices. |

I agree RE Routs , i thought he showed a bit of pace had guile,touch and a desire to get onto the ball and try something.
Many say he is the most skillfull player at the club and in fairness it showed today, he looked world class compared to how pedestrian some of our lot looked!
It has to be said that some of the players just look totally fooked off with each other, i know none of them like losing but the body language of the team looks all wrong.
I sense there are issues in the squad myself. They aint running through any brick walls for Monk at the moment thats for sure. |
The commentator on my feed alluded to the amount of arguing that was going on between our players.
Routs looked like Ronaldo compared to the others. | | | |

If Phil is beginning to question things then that looks worrying! I would say that we see what happens in the Bournemouth game and if we lose, then the board should say to Garry , you need help and if he refuses that offer then the board should then consider his position. |
Let's be real - Monk is far too proud to accept any help |  |

If I look back to thoughts at the start of the season, the midfield would have been
1 of Cork or Britton
Ki
Shelvey or Sigurdsson
Now three months on it would be
1 of Cork or Britton
1 of Ki or Shelvey
1 of Sigurdsson or Ayew
Routledge/Barrow/Montero to provide the width (would have added Dyer to that if he was still here)
Gomis or Eder up front (or possibly Ayew I still think is worth a shot)
We definitely though don't have the balance right as you say and it is baffling as to why we keep trying to make it work when it clearly isn't |
Because the manager hasn't got the tactical awareness or man management experience to impact on the squad as they know that most of them are there as a result of the board and not the manager. And of course we retained the negative influemence of Gomis when he should have been booted out in the summer.
Poorly run squad equals poor match day experience.
Goodnight all. |  |

Don't forget Pep as well. Unfortunately along with Gary they have all been brought in to suit the purse strings. It has been successful, and long may continue to be, but I have some real concerns at the moment. We are far too good a side on paper to be where we are now. That has to be down to management. |  |

Are they really? Good point though. I should have left out the 'on paper' bit. We have too much talent, and paid far too much, to be in the position we are now. Howzat? :-) | |

Paid far too much compared to what other Prem Team?
Or do you mean for those players that are NOT playing? | | | |

In a way yes lol. No goals does not always equate to poor striker. In this case I suspect some of the form of the player is down to the system he is trying to operate in. | |

As I said, I would have taken Shelvey off.
Whether Britton or Cork - I am not too bothered - at least it gives a bit more balance whichever it is. |
Very true. At Southampton, we started with Cork. He was subbed and we quickly conceded 2 goals so Leon was brought on but the damage had been done.
Our style over the last few seasons, such that it was, dictates that we have a defensive midfielder protecting the back 4, breaking up opposition attacks and making himself available for a pass. We also need 2 wide players and Ayew is not one of them. Then we need to pick 3 other players to fit in with that basic template and it clearly won't accommodate Ki, Shelvey, Sigurdsson, Gomis and Ayew and they have to be rotated, rested, whatever. |  | | |

Sounds fine I agree. But I think Cardiff spent similarly for their season in Red and look how that ended. | |

It is odd how so many fans can see it, but the club can't. [Post edited 7 Nov 2015 18:04]

Take the overall wages of the players we brought in, along with the transfer fees plus how much we lost shipping out almost every Spaniard in the squad then yes. We can compare.
I am talking about the whole squad. Playing or not. | |

As much as I like Monk,
he's only there because he;s a Yes man for Jenkins & Morgan.
If he had balls he would not of started Gomis today, which makes me think it's out of his hands Contract or over ruled by the powers that be.
Sacking Monk is not the answer YET,
But unless that team is changed, whether it's Dropping Ashley Captain or not coz he ain't leading any team at the Moment,Taylor and KI and trying something different
then NO OTHER OPTION.
There are players who do give 100 % not even getting a chance at the moment, Why??
Too much shyte going on Off the field filtering through to the team.
Management stand up and be counted you take the credit now take the Shyte and
explain yourselves. | | | |

It may be unwelcome to say so, but unless we try him up front, I'm not certain what Ayew brings to the team.
He can't beat a man for pace, can't tackle and gets in the way because his positional sense is so poor. He's also arguing with his team mates all the time.
We saw more from Routs in that 20 minute spell than from either Ayew or Montero in the whole game. |
Should have started with Routs on the right and Ayew down the middle. At least we would have created a load of chances then. |  |

No, money lost on Spanish players is totally irrelevent.
The transfer fees of players brought in this year do not even equal Bony's transfer fee 2 years ago.
They certainly do not equal to the £28M the club got for him, which was the "worth" of the player to the club at that time. | | | |

I am not so sure he is a 'yes' man. I really hope he is not. They saw something in Gary and made the decision to appoint him and they have been successful on that front for years. The guy has been absolutely brilliant. The problem they have now is how to support him or sack him as performances are getting as bad as ML's and the end of his stint. Unfortunately European competition and unprecedented injuries are not part of the picture this time either...... | |

Our style of football used to be a great equaliser, in terms of us competing in this league
Now we're another run of the mill team in terms of our style, we're slowly sinking in as just one of the rest who are flipping a coin every season as to whether they're going to stay up or not | |

The bank balance is totally relevant. If you ain't got he dosh you can't pay. We lost shed loads shipping out MLs signings and then having to bring in replacements. Why release players if you cannot bring in better? It all goes on the balance sheet and we have spent up there with most of the clubs in our position. I accept there are notable exceptions.
