This Weeks Other Games

[Green & Blue]

I think im about to vomit.

Sky reaching whole new levels with this rag love in at the live audience.Which i have to say is a complete load of shite.

They cut to the break with a disturbing image of Moyes ugly mug, don't think i can stomach any more.

Is anyone surprised? It's how they won the title last season. Opposition bottling it up front, they break and take their chances. Same old.

To me, both of these teams look a lot less quality than last season on this showing.

Only seen the last 20 minutes (bastard) and it looks like the Rags gameplan is to hurry the oppo and then break with numbers using the width of the park. No change there then.

Swansea look like last year but the Rags are crowding them out whenever they get near to goal. Hopefully they'll start playing a bit faster from back to front, exposing the Rags weakness, their defence.

Nail on head. No difference at all.

Same plan but so far a lack of quality in the passing & less energy in centre midfield.

In the last couple of seasons, there's been so many games where we've pressed and pressed and pressed, had the opposition under the cosh the whole game and ended up either losing 1-0 or drawing 0-0. Yet they consistently play shite, get dominated and still score without doing anything.
Frustrating to say the least.

This particular game is unusual even by their standards imo though. They usually do one or two things of high quality amongst the shit. There has been none today apart from RVP's finish.

This is more an Everton than a rags performance imo. And Swansea need to improve on the first half level, as a team, to stay up. You can't defend like that against anybody.

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Quality goal.

[Beefymcfc]

Quality goal.

T'was.

[Ted Hughes]

You can't defend like this & stay up. Not just the lack of defnce at the finish but the two passes in midfield before it.

T'was.

And some didn't want him here...

I'm one of them.

[Saul Goodman]

Stupid. Shouldn't have picked a draw. Stupid

I didn't & don't.

You can if you only do it in certain games.

Do you think they'll perform this badly when we go to the Liberty Stadium? Neither do I

[Crossie]

And some didn't want him here...

Good time to play Swansea? Well no they've already played competitive games. Scum have done well ......... Ouch that hurt to say.

[Nick]

we cant ship goals.

When we go there, they will defend with two banks of 4 in front of their penalty area & play on the break. I can't believe they will continue playing this way; their defence isn't good enough & they don't score enough goals to get away with it.

They've not done that well. They've done what they always do,been average but clinical. Van Persie's goals were barely half chances and he made them both look so easy.

I think we're mistaken if we think that the scum will just collapse because they've changed manager.

[clawbaggio]

That Ashley Williams - I don't get what anybody sees in him. He's a big, useless, slow donkey yet rated at 15 mill.
Rags looked like scoring every attack they had. I hope Swans are gonna be that generous against us

Not collapse no but probably not finish in the top 2 either. And they haven't been clinical they have missed several easy chances.
