Match Thread Swansea v Everton. 19th Sep at 15.00.

[Jags..class]

Not going to moan today like I did last weekend but can I say why did we buy another winger in Lennon when we have mirrallas and del

Haha just you wait for kick off mate!

Yeah can just see some lads frothing at the mouth now waiting to hammer their keyboards to death at the first mistake in the game from us.

I value confidence and continuity as highly as tactics personally.

I think getting the right mix is key, really. I certainly agree that they're very important. I would have started Naismith simply because leaving a player fighting for his place in the team on the bench, after he scored all 3 in a 3-1 bumming of Chelsea, would do serious harm to morale.

However I would probably have Lennon in over Kone, as I think he'd support Browning more and offer us more width. Even though Kone has been playing well. It's a balancing act, and ultimately I just don't think Martinez has managed to get it right over a sustained period, for a long time.

Spot on with that line up choice there, not that there was an option for changes to the six in front of the back line

 

[Yorkie]

Barkley scoring another lovely free kick would be nice.

COYB!

Was that the one in of the bar when it was raining? I remember a v sexy slo-mo of that

 

[Tigger]

What's all this Montero bummin all about? He is hardly Messi. Decent player yes but not all that worried trust Browning to do a job just like Galloway has.

I fail to understand how people can say it's a weak team, when it's pretty much the same side that thumped Chelsea last week. Come on blues

I think he ran past a player once dead fast, and now all of a sudden he's Maradona

 

[Dexter]

He played one game in pre-season. I bet he's still lacking some match sharpness.

Yes mate, the 5 odd mins every 3 games is not going to get his match fitness up like

 

[4737carlin]

Not entirely true that, Deulofeu was immense when he came on against Barnsley and we haven't seen much of him since

Yeah but that was Barnsley, not a premier league side. Problem for him at the mo is none of the players who he could replace have played themselves out of the starting side.

Its also good to see Roberto isn't starting players just to justify buying them in the summer

don't let that get in the way of a bit of fume and drama queening

I think he's one of the most dangerous wingers in the Prem. He's incredibly fast and loves taking on his fullback. Given that this is Browning's first Prem start, highlighting it as a potential problem doesn't seem too crazy!

 

[chicoazul]

He's also got no choice really...

Let me touch you where you wee from.

 

[MikeH72]

Eh lads, I heard that Montero has 92 speed on FIFA. Might as well just give Swansea the points now

So many twenty somethings on here have won multiple league titles on FM and FIFA and therefore know better than Roberto Martinez.
