Swansea number 20

Recommended Posts

Below par performance from us but I thought that the Swansea number 20 (James?) was outstanding. 

I'm hoping to see Vrancic back on Wednesday in place of McLean

No one gets promoted without some luck. I don't think we've necessarily had a huge amount but yes, we had a decent slice of it this evening.

James might have looked fast but he delivered next to no end product. Pace isn't everything. We rode our luck at times tonight though.

I thought Dyer had a good game for them and Routlidge, both getting on a bit now, presumably not able to manage the full 90 mins. Not sure they're worth £40K a week though.

Yep, had plenty of that over the years. Donowa and Forbes spring to mind.

I think there was one eye on the FA Cup with their substitutions?

Yes possibly

This thing about riding our luck - we certainly weren’t at our best, particularly in the first half, but they rarely looked like scoring and we created the better chances - if only managing one shot on target. Once it was 1-0 I thought there was only one likely outcome.  

Re: James, Leeds must be regretting not coming up with the £ to seal the deal - he might be one to try to poach if we go up.

Swansea will be the Norwich of 2019-20 season.

Exactly what I was thinking. Swansea reminded me of us last season, a lot of possession but little end product .

Leeds were offering £10m or so, £5-6m would be seen as being a bit cheeky. Unless Leeds don't get promoted of course... 

 

Andrea Radrizzani, the Leeds owner, had agreed a £1.5m loan fee with Swansea, with the obligation to sign the Wales international permanently for a further £7m if the club earn promotion to the Premier League. Further instalments would have taken the deal up to £10m.

Swansea were brilliant. Particularly first half. Our pressing couldn't get near them at times especially when playing out from the back.

Having said that, I can't recall them creating anything other than a few long shots. 2nd half they only looked like scoring from free kicks and corners.

Just missing that cutting edge but I fancy them next season.

He will go to a Premiership club next season for £15 million at least and cannot see Swansea being a threat next season given the ages of Fer, Dyer and Routledge
