The front 2 are having very few touches of the ball really.
This is when dembele is perfect

Don't think I ever saw Dembele pass to the front two. The wing backs, fullbacks and Eriksen yes. Never one for playing into strikers' feet though.

Hopefully this convinces Poch that, actually, we’re not fine and a new player or two might help the mission.

I'm 51 next Friday. 45 years I've cried tears of joy and pain but I'm turning it off now. I just can't watch any more tonight. Don't judge me, I'm just not in the fucking mood. And I'm turning the internet off as well and am going to read a book until bedtime.
I hope I wake in the morning to some miracle.

Please don't, I was planning on having a cry wank to something at pornhub after the game

Terrible once again, no reaction after that shower of shit on Sunday
This could be a disastrous few weeks for us
we need a boost or something

Click to expand...

There won’t be a boost.
It’ll be rapid elimination from all cups followed by an announcement that we won’t be going to the new stadium until August.
The only uncertainty is the timing of next year’s season ticket increase....

There is absolutely no way that Sterling could be worse than Llorente. At the very least he'd be moving around and forcing the CBs to mind him, and he certainly has the pace to get on the end of a through ball. I don't know why Llorente even drops deep, just stay up top and wait for the play. Ignore the offside line.

Take the three best attacking players out of any club and they will struggle.

Imagine Arsenal without Boomerang and Lacazette,

Chelsea without Hazard.

Liverpool without Salah, Firminho and Mane.

Any club would struggle to fill the void.

And your point is? With them teams they would have far better cover than we have!!!!

I'd rather play Soldado again than Llorente. Or Rasiak.

They literally have no out ball whatsoever.

In all fairness, he isn’t playing to his own strengths. He can’t hold it up or head it to one of our own team.

Also the time to have played Moura would have been at the start when we had a lead to defend and potential counter attacking opportunities. I'd would have had GKN out there instead if Lucas wasn't 100%

Damn straight. Liverpool would be relying on Origi. Arsenal would have Welbeck up top.

It's not over. We just need to gamble. Chuck Moura on for pace at HT.

I like Poch and his mentor Bielsa, but I would also prefer him to become more pragmatic at times. Sit deep, soak up pressure, frustrate them, take the crowd out of the game, be Liverpool of the 80s and the Porto of Mourinho and play on the break. We don't always have to try to play open and expansive football. Just defend a lead once in awhile.

Genuinely can't find it within myself to criticise the boys. We've been epic this season and then hit with this luck at this time. Nah.

Yep.

Just hope we can keep it together for morale's sake.

15 goals in a season for Swansea mostly with his head. But then he played every week and was match for in a team which used him properly.

I can't bring myself to not hate Llorente.. He has no ounce of desire to score for us at all. He's still jogging about non - chalantly without a sense of urgency.

Watch him start laughing and joking with Azpilicueta at the end of the game after we have been soundly beaten.

I think we showed them too little respect by only fielding 10 players .
