Swansea Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[robin09]

Ref is bent, we've had two throws and a corner and absolutely everything else has gone their way.

But on the other hand, Lamela and Verts could have both been sent off, and we wouldn't have had much complaint.

 

[goughie1966]

Soldado off. Kane up top, Eriksen in behind, Chadli wide left.

Obvious really, not sure why our manager can't see it. Eriksen is always anonymous when he plays out wide.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Very little attention in here about how big a **** A. Williams is.

The way he kicked out at Kane is unacceptable. How the fuck.the lino missed that is beyond me.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

If we stay with our current midfield two they'll score.

Mason is on a yellow and isn't having his best game. could be an option to bring off

 

[philip]

Would sacrifice Soldado as having two strikers on the pitch isn't occupying their back four enough to justify it.

Bring on Stambouli, should relish the competitive edge and help beef up the midfield

Agree in theory but subbing Soldado would be yet another kick in the teeth for him.

 

[Mustard]

His positioning has been spot on. He has prevented Bony 2 or 3 chances.

You do realise he's the tall flat footed one don't you?

I think he's playing poorly. Out of position and has given the ball away pretty much everytime he's had it. Even when not under pressure.

You're not confusing him with Lloris are you?

 

[philip]

If we stay with our current midfield two they'll score.

Mason is on a yellow and isn't having his best game. could be an option to bring off

Agree. Would sub him for Capoue

 

[The Apprentice]

Stambouli or Soldado for me. Push Mason on.

Swapping Chadli for Lamela would be madness. At least Erik is working hard. Remember that sub against Palace?

 

[idontgetit]

That's 40 players. The ref may spot our advantage?

Probably not we'll still be shit

 

[millsey]

Be serious mate...at least he's trying. Eriksen and Soldado are the ones I'm concerned about!
Been very impressed with Davies!

Did we really play 25-30 mill for someone who try's?

 

[balalasaurus]

Soldado off. Dembele on. We need to win this midfield battle.

 

[Annabel]

Why do they keep going on about Harry Kane not being the tallest? He's 6 foot 2!

 

[nightgoat]

Take everyone off and bring everyone on amirite?

Unless you're doing a Hull-esque team talk on the pitch that's what usually happens at half time. Everyone goes off then comes back on again.

 

[Mr Pink]

I like Mason and been a big fan. Him and Bentaleb aren't working well today and Mason has been worse than Bentaleb. You say show some support but you've just done the same as I have to Lamela?

I tried to explain to you that I was a fan of Lamela to, but you didn't want to know...so why's it different for you?

I think he's been poor and I've never said that before, yet you lumped me in with the brigade who can't wait to criticize - which is not the case. I've defended him a lot.

But we nearly conceded due to a mistake of his. Don't translate that to mean I can't wait to jump on his back, couldn't be further from the truth. But its about time he started showing a bit more in game intelligence and robustness.

 

[Reclamation Project]

For nearly £30m you expect more than that though.

Totally agree, but he's getting a lot of stick on here and certain others are equally or more deserving.

 

[alfie103]

I am stunned people are saying that Lamela shouldn't have been sent off for that elbow on Montero. Stunned.

 

[TheAmerican]

I don't understand how Fazio is being made out to being poor. He has 1 tackle, 4 clearances, 2 interceptions and 1 blocked shot. Is the problem that he isn't a vertonghen type who carries the ball up the field?! He is playing very well defensively. He is doing his job very well and staying tight on his marks.

 

[idontgetit]

Stambouli or Soldado for me. Push Mason on.

Swapping Chadli for Lamela would be madness. At least Erik is working hard. Remember that sub against Palace?

Exactly it's like for like and Chadli's out of position on the right anyway

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Before anyone blames the conditions for the way our game deteriorated, both teams are having to deal with the rain and slippery pitch.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

As opposed to Bentaleb, Mason, Eriksen and Soldado?

Mason,Bentaleb and Eriksen make differences in games. Lamela is mia in most games.
