I’m sick to the back teeth of this lazy lazy go to blame game, anyone with even the basic of footballing knowledge could see that Swansea just pressured us, it was the same towards the end of the first half against Luton. Swansea just pressure us and we couldn’t get out.
We loose a game and you have countless posts reverting back to the same sentence, it’s just lazy. Teams can gain momentum and put us on the defensive. When we had all that attacking momentum in the first 20 minutes of the first half do you think the Swansea manager Instructed them to sit back ? No, it’s momentum. Jesus Christ.

MON is 90% a good manager at this level.
However, I fear the players responded positively to the removal of Jones and bought into MON’s ideas, but theyvnow recognise his limitations and we are now back to the half-hearted relegation stuff.

I agree, we play a high press with high energy, we just aren’t fit enough or have the players off the bench to keep it up for the full 90.

Ahhh of course! And what is on your football management CV? I don't get your point... My point is that you, in the same way as myself don’t understand football as well as the manager. If you think that we actually looked to sit back for the majority of that game though you are delusional.

We didn't "sit back" for the majority of the game, i didnt say we did, we sat back when the manager made a late, negative sub when we could have changed things and taken the game to them, but O'Neil wouldn't have the bollocks to do that

We did not look to sit back imo.
Too many of our players were knackered, Mikel and Allen in particular. Thompson helped to some extent, but carrying 2 midfielders for the last 15-20 mins is always going to be a problem. The mistake was not changing it enough. Powell was also knackered.

They changed their shape as we were dominating possession and on the front foot second half, for 10 minutes they took over the midfield with the extra man they had hence why Thompson came on. He could have done it earlier but I think it was the right call, he arguably should have brought Cousins on for Allen or Mikel at the same time.
But you have to also acknowledge that Swansea are a good footballing team, better than us currently and were pressing for a win, sometimes in football you don't choose to sit back you just have to.....

Which falls on the managers shoulders. It's his job to recognise that and change it. If a load of fans watching on TV can see that, why can't a manager that's paid thousands a week?

We were still in the game until he did his usual nagative sub, there's no defence for it, it wasn't needed. Fresh legs would have been perfect but to take off your only real attacking threat is ridiculous.

Yes but you can surely live with the fact that we were the better team. I’d argue that we were the better team for 65/70 minutes of the 90. You don’t always get what you deserve in this game.

Thier manager took off a striker and brought on a midfielder and still won, but why let that get in the way of all the celebrating and handwringing?
