Swansea

[MadAmster]

Roos solid
Bogle had a good game until his injury. Lowe was good as a wrong side replacement
Keogh was excellent
Clarke was excellent
Malone does some good things but to many poor IMO. With his back to the bye line he ALWAYS passes back with his left. Refuses to use his right. Rather have Lowe there
Dowell had a poor touch today but he wasn't alone in that
Hudds was OK
Evans was good. Was he injured or did Paterson come on as a tactical change?
Jozefzoon. I refer honourable members to my comments when he first came. Drop him
Waggy. Hang your head in shame withthat penalty. Did a lot of good work but had a few poor touches
Lawrence. As prominrnt as he was on Monday, he was conspicuous by his absence and lack of anything positive

Marriott will be back in the starting XI shortly
Paterson was mobile, showed he has something but needs to bed in
Lowe, start him at left back and play Bateman at right back if Bogle is not available.

Too many poor passes from everybody. As promising as Monday's game was, this one was as far the other way, disappointing.

Tuesday at Scunny I expect half a dozen changes. Give 3 of the current bench sitters some game time and 3 young uns.

Overall a good summary. I fear if Waghorn is our main striker, that we will be short of goals. Cannot understand how a professional footballer whose job it is to score goals cannot score a penalty!

Messi and Ronaldo have missed penalties, if you hit the target and don't score credit has to go to the Goalkeeper, you could turn round what you have said. I cannot understand how a professional footballer who's job it is to save goals can't stop a penalty.

MoP he's hit his last five penalties to the exact same spot The keeper only had to put his right arm out to stop it

Did the other 4 go in?

Yes all the more reason to change . As the Swansea manager said We studied the videos and knew where he puts it

If he had put it the other way and the keeper had saved it you'd have said he should have gone
the way he always goes. You can't win! Ask any pro footballer it's about hitting the target, if he
skys it over the bar or puts it wide you can then have a go at him. Not at fault IMO it was a good save.
Which way do you think he should go next time if he takes a penalty again?

So you think a keeper has an as good a chance of saving a penalty as the player taking the penalty? First the stats on penalties saved demonstrates that is not the case so your post does not make any sense whatsoever!

Mm so your job is to kick the ball into a goal, from 12 yards, you practice everyday, there are no defenders to challenge you, you can pick your spot, take your time and there are innumerable places you can put the ball where the keeper has absolutely no chance of getting to it. Yes your under pressure, though I'd suggest that taking a penalty in a shoot out situation, or in a cup final or other key game is pressurised, in a run of the mill game any competent striker should be able to score and after all if you can't handle the pressure then the player shouldn't be taking the penalty!

I can't argue with that, after all you know everything. I'm surprised you don't win every week on the lottery!

Just a case of hype and over expectation I think. No point in singling Waghorn out...he had a bad day, it happens.
New players, three home debuts, first home match of the season, missing players, determined opposition etc.
Disappointing, but Leeds dropped home points too and against weaker opposition.
