Generally lazy and pedestrian first half from us there. Time for Roberto to smash some cups around the dressing room!

 

[Tubey]

Can't point at one player who had a good half there. Absolute garbage.

 

[Fat Stan]

Barry's passing has become far too lax the past few games. Has been very inaccurate. Sloppy sloppy sloppy

 

[moosed]

this feels like a pre season game, just weird all round

 

[DownunderToffee]

Crap effort.

 

[daza_1973]

another tepid early kick off half of football - since the derby teams have certainly wised up to us.

 

[Jags..class]

we need to speed play up

 

[canuckblue]

It's always like this when we score so early.

 

[davek]

Appalling this. I've no idea what Traore is supposed to be doing. Defence look like they just started playing football. Wide play is non-existent.

They get a couple of first teamers on Swansea and they win this about 3-1.

 

[toffeejack]

hmm, that was pretty terrible tbh.

our one touch passing while attacking has been great and we have looked like scoring every time we've gone forward, but what is with these massive gaps between defence and midfield?

barry and mccarthy have been nowhere it seems.

i'd bring stones on for distin if i'm honest, he's looked so nervy and edgy and has done the majority of this season.

him and jags haven't looked like a rock hard centre back partnership in the last few weeks.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Not even watching the second half. We know what's going to happen there and I don't fancy watching a defeat unfold.

That's the spirit

 

[Millea]

Midfield has been really slow, taking to long to pick a pass. Distin and Jags look like they're waiting for a miskate to happen. Barkley needs to just play it simple sometimes. Pienaar needs to swerve the flicks. Traore has been quiet since his goal apart from the header. Mirallas hasn't had a chance to get into the game.

Need to pick it up next half.

 

[toffee matt]

Fa cup home games against bottom half prem teams are games we always struggle in for some reason.

I'd be more confident if the game was at the liberty

 

[Christiffa25]

Gonna give the defence a bit of slack as I think that sun is being a real hinderence!

 

[icburns]

We will win this.
