A lot of people seem to be living in the past. Everyone seems so keen to bring old people back to the club... Brendon, Bony etc.
Don't get me wrong, I have utmost respect for people that have done well and helped our club grow. And sometimes bringing someone back works, look at Sigurdsson.
I just think that, perhaps more so this year, the league has changed, teams have changed and tactics have changed quite dramatically. What once worked, doesn’t work anymore.
There appear to be an increased number of younger, fitter, hungrier and better players playing different styles like high press and fast counter attack football. I've also noticed a number of typical "target man" strikers across different teams struggling to adapt to these changes.
It's more difficult then ever for possession teams to play. I think Laudrup and Monk realised this and tried to counter it somehow, unfortunately they failed, but at least they tried.
The reason Swansea surprised, got promoted and succeeded in the Premiership was by playing a different brand of football.
It's time, not to forget, but remember the past, take a look forward and try something new, different and exciting. I don't know what that is, but i'd like to take a chance trying to find it next season.
Feel free to read, reply, abuse, ignore, delete. I'm just getting it off my mind by typing it out.

"The reason we've struggled is because the technical level in the squad has dropped, not a lack of pace. "
Yes it was a lack of technical level in the squad that got us our highest place ever last season.
It also allowed us to beat teams like Arsenal & Man U not once but twice.
Just think what we could achieve if the squad acyually had some of that technical ability. |

Our record against the big sides has been good this season but its had to be when all the promoted teams outplayed us. | | | |

Talking more about the Monk period. Bournemouth were gutted they didn't win that. | | | |

Not that we've looked especially impressive in beating Norwich and Watford recently, either. | | | |

He has specified this season... That's how I read it.
And we were dreadful against Watford away and the start of the Bournemouth game we were overrun and 2-0 down before we know it |  |
