Think the other was straight at Peretz.

Not sure how unless we change formation to a 433

Excellent all round performance capped by 3 great goals from open play. The commentators seemed to think Swansea were on top in the second half but we scored one, Leo was denied by a sensational save, there were some scrambles in their box and maybe we should have had a penalty. Over the 90 minutes we were much the better side and deserving of the 3 points.

Fellows has been superb today.

Excellent first half from us with two well worked goals from open play as reward. Swansea have had plenty of possession but not done much with it so far and we might have added another from the chances we've created. Need to come out fast in the second half and look to finish them off. Hopefully Tonda gets his subs right today. A win here will be very useful against the team that arrived sitting on top of the table.

Very good point.

Maybe but he didn't last season.

Would be ridiculous if they wear that kit considering there is no clash with their all white strip.

Surely they play in all white don't they?

They'll play 433 so a strong midfield which we will need to match. As you say, our problem is that we are top heavy with ball recyclers and short of players who will drive the team forward. I'd prefer Downes as the anchor with two more offensive midfielders but we just don't have the personnel for that and hence I think we're in for some games where we get bogged down and the fans become frustrated. Our midfield options are inbalanced for me.

Is there a presser for this game?

There seems to be a trend in modern day football for the fitness guys to have a major say in substitutions based on data which is presumably collected from these vests the players wear under their shirts. I read that De Zerbi was hacked off because Spurs have been making data driven subs. I get that there is a need to utilise this info but sometimes a manager has to ignore it and allow a player to carry on especially if he's having a big influence on a particular game. To just bow down to the data seems a bit bonkers to me.

We aren't doing badly in terms of results. In terms of quality of our performances I think we are doing badly aside from a purple patch against Millwall.

How is that even legal unless there is something written in the small print?
