Swansea City (A) - Post Match

[Arn]

Agreed. We have been poor second half in every game.

It's almost as if we don't respond to the other teams raising their game in the second half when they're behind, instead we stop moving and start sitting deeper and look for longer, outlet balls. I believe the onus is on the midfielders to try and exert control and start keeping hold of the ball.

The problem is that it happens in every game. That points to that it is a tactical change by Rodgers.

Don't have a clue why he do that. It is ok to do it if you have the players to play that way but we don't.

We have a ball possession squad and not a defensive minded one. We don't have a midfield that is great defending. We have a midfield that is great attacking and control the game.

Very strange tactical changes by Rodgers IMO.

I thought Sakho was trying a bit too hard and is short of match fitness. His timing wasn't always there. However, very strong in the air and in the tackle. A bit too eager but this was his debut and not too bad at all. He'll be an immense player for us.

Anyone who has watched La Liga knows Aspas has clearly got much more talent than Downing or Assaidi and is normally a very competitive nutter. Don't know why looks a bit wimpish at the moment but he needs to sort it out and fast.

Sterling was poor when he came on and Wisdom although quite solid defensively was bad going forward. We need Glen back ASAP or put Kelly in there especially at home.

Aspas has got skill but he needs to strengthen up. With Suarez coming back I think he is going to find it hard to get into the team or on the bench at times.

[Tee]

Based on what though? Was Allen on bench? Should have been him if so.

Based on him being the only CM on the bench.

Oh well, look on the positive side.....less than 90 minutes to GTAV!!

[Mattshark]

He is a machine. We definitely need his legs in there regardless of when Suarez returns.

Thought he was very poor tonight, needs Johnson behind him to allow him to play.

[SB]

Aspas is OK. Great work rate and has good technical skills. He'll come good.

yeah I hope your right too.

[Montana]

Mignolet was superb today again apart from parrying one shot in the first half when Skrtel cleared. Great signing.

4 games 3 wins 1 draw.

It wasnt great tonight but we're still top of the league.

Bill Shankly: "Ay, here we are with problems at the top of the league."

I didn't see the United game, but I thought we were poor in the 2nd half against Stoke. Not to mention Villa, Swansea, and er, Notts County.

The Utd game was similar in that we didn't really do much more than hang on in the second half. Which is of course understandable in matches like Man Utd, but worrying to see it on the bounce against Stoke, Villa, Swansea as well.

[Montana]

12 games unbeaten now in the PL. Our form over the 20-25 games has surely been title challenging form.

We are top of the league but if our second half performances continue then we will drop down the table.

If you don't try to sort out what is wrong then you will never be a success.

Very poor? Really? So how would you describe aspas, Lucas and co? First half he was fantastic, second half he was covering in defence and often our only out ball.

Moses eh, awful signing so far. No intelligence. Be interesting to see how that turns out.

Yes, didn't think he did anywhere near enough.

I thought Lucas was ok, Aspas was poor.

Moses did very well.

Yes I'll be ****ed off if we don't at least challenge.

Matt's never liked Henderson. One of those things.
