[PL] Swansea (H): Match Thread

[Mattshark]

We look more disjointed without Lucas and Coutinho.

I think we look disjointed with Benteke too.

[Gibbo]

'Kin hell. I'm calling a taxi every time I go out now.

I do not want a hearse

[RichC]

Looked like we'd steamroller them for the first 20, 25 minutes but the goal didn't come and we ran out of ideas.

Poor from Bobby F in that first half, we need some more creativity

[Gibbo]

Firmino has been poor. Very poor.

Not as poor as Benteke I don't think.

Ibes touch for his chance was really poor.

[Muddled]

Can has certainly been the highlight of our first half. A positive start with a lot of neat football until the final ball. Williams and Bartley are dealing with Benteke a little too well for my liking. Swansea weathered the storm and grew into the game. For all our bluster we haven't really tested Fabianski.

[redmike65]

Firmino has been poor. Very poor.

He'll never combine with a player like Benteke, needs a Brazilian on the same wavelength. Which is why I only view the striker as a plan B player.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Decent and controlled for the first 20 minutes or so, Swansea grew more comfortable and we had to drop deeper. We haven't created anything apart from Ibe going through when he really should have done better.

We still need to improve, a lot! Can't help but feel Benteke sticks out like a sore thumb at times by being so static, I like him just not convinced we've found a way of including him in our play.

[Muddled]

Off to get some Stella Artois. Might swing by the Merc and Lexus dealerships as well.

[Fosterbloke]

Firmino for Sturridge please.

[Muddled]

Robbie Earle's 'tache is majestic.

[Gibbo]

Firmino for Sturridge please.

I know he's injured a lot but we can't plan his sub before he's even on.

Plus Firmino is already on so we can't take him off then on again.

[danperkins]

With the quality we have going forward it's been very disappointing. Firmino, Lallana and Benteke have had stinking.

[Gibbo]

Robbie Earle's 'tache is majestic.

Was just about to post the same.

I'm hoping it's an all-year thing and not a Movember.

[Muddled]

Firmino for Sturridge please.

I think Sturridge for Benteke would bring the best out of Firmino

[kingfunk]

Ibe drives me nuts, it takes him at least 5 seconds to decide what to do with the ball.
