Personally, I dislike their style of football. I'm all for getting the ball down and passing it about, but there has to be an end product. At some point, you have to attack the other team.


They had 17 shots yesterday and scored 2. they also just beat WBA away 2-0.

This swansea not attacking thing is a myth.

Okay, fair comment on the stats from yesterday's game, but I see them passing it back an awful lot when they could just as easily pass it forward...

Passing it back entices the opposition out of their positions which enables a more concise attack. Knocking it forward can lose posession easily and thus their grip of the game.

Passing the ball back can actually be more of an attacking move than passing it forward. One back to allow two forward as it were.

If teams only passed forward the game woukd be ridiculous.

c'mon now trying to explain tactics to the hoof ball lovers you have on here will get you nowhere.. you are 100% correct in your analysis though :thumbup:

"Hoofball lovers" :laughing6:

That'll explain the 17 pass move all along the floor leading to the equaliser against Manchester City, or the sublime passage of play from Lewis to Caulker through Maynard to Cowie who provided the beautiful pass for Whittingham to finish with aplomb Saturday. If that's your cliched definition of Hoofball you clueless Kent, then you're in for a big shock in those two games :thumbup:

I despair sometimes. We've played Man City who were fancied by most to win the league, Everton who finished above Liverpool last year, and West Ham away who had an excellent home record last year!

Do you remember when they first got promoted? They didnt score a f*cking goal for about 6 months!



This^^^^^^^^^^

When seansea first got promoted swansea spent less than a third of what cardiff did. And after 5 games were on 5 points only losing to Arsenal and Man City.

ok lets see.

West Ham.. you lost without even having a shot on goal
Man City .. you won but Man City played their worst game and strangely afterwards no pundits said that Cardiff played well just the City was awful..
Everton.. a nil nil bore fest which you should have lost as the everton where denied a penalty they should have had
Hull.. even with Danny Graham playing for them you couldn't beat them and he cant score any more ..

so yeh you are really competing with the best in the land :lol: :lol:

Re: The difference is incredible!!!

No pundits said we played well against Man City

:laughing6:

Bite. Nibble. Bite. Nibble. The Obsessed are clearly double-gutted that their PL bragging rights are now history. All they had was the PL and now that's over, it will be 'the Gower IS in Swansea' and 'at least we never sold our souls' along with the usual smallballs inferiority-complex guff. How I laughed when the BBC had to use subtitles in 'The Callcentre' documentary so that regular folk could understand them! Subtitles! Freaks. :thumbright:

We will find out how good we both are as the season goes on. I personnaly think that we will finish just above you but you won't be in the bottom three. Bring on derby day I am sure that for those two games the league will be forgotten just bragging rights.

We're a massive club compared to Swansea and the sooner they realise it the better for them. I hope they find peace in the end as the demise due to their bitterness is not funny to see, its in fact, tragic. I'll shed a tear for our friends down west tonight.
