Ashley Williams

He was poor tonight and a couple of times recently, but come on, did all of you really think he was bang average when he signed for us?

Swansea's defence has disintegrated since he's left. He is a solid, not world class defender who's not been at his best recently.

Far, far bigger problems than him in the team.
 
He has a washed up jags next to him and Mori. Probably having to do the work of two centre backs to cover the others he's paired with.

Yes. For 10M I knew it would be an awful buy.

You're right, far bigger problems but that doesn't mean we shouldn't slate the buy.
You wouldn't see any team that want to compete for trophies/EL/CL buy Ashley Williams for 10M.
You could've got so many better defenders around the world for less than 10M.

Bartra, Mandi, Vestergaard, Matip, Bruma, Tonelli, Rudigier all went this summer for roughly the same fee as Williams or less.

Most, if not all, would have been excellent signings. Isn't hindsight wonderful though.
 

Isolated incident but why do our kick-offs go back to him only to be launched upfield to nobody.

Past 3/4 games we've done that and loose any control over the ball, juat allowing the opposing teams the chance to set the tempo.

Generally speaking the first 15 mins of either half is a sighter. We came out second half and inside 30 secs had pumped it long and wide - invited Liverpool on, an and just sat back.

Surely we can come up with a better routeen to start/restart the game/half then that.

And its no coincidence we have a habit of conceding in quick succession, its the same routeen when we kick off after going a goal behind. Ball to Williams, launch it long, allow opposing team to get on the ball, so on so forth. It was fortunate the ref had the stop the game after we restarted from Mane's goal, given the same routeen happened and the ball was to nobody.

Probably a pointless post and overly long over something so isolated. But its happened in numerous games now, for a player who came from a footballing Swansea side it doesn't make sense why youd revert to kids football - which is probably derogatory of kids football, given they're learning the game.
