So disappointed, not just with the result but the performance.
Players we collectively laud on other days, performed well below par today. Too many in one game for them to be covered by their team mates.
I was hoping Can would come off, and lallana drop back so we would have a bit more creativity in mid field, with Sturridge up too.
Studge came on yeah, but for the wrong player so tactically nothing much changed.
I'm sure if Matip started the defence would have been much calmer and organised but that wasn't to be.
Also think Hendo may have performed better with lallana rather than Can, who incidently I think has. become a liability.
They were there for the taking and I think Jürgen got his tactics wrong today. Possibly underestimating them, and showing too much sentiment to off form players.
Seems the players themselves were thinking they just had to turn up and Swansea would fold. Trouble is, too many of them didn't turn up.
Three of our competitors drew today, so not too much damage done, but I don't realistically think chsvs or the Arse will do us any favours tomorrow. Think this will be another season of missed opportunities in the prem, and if we don't get things sorted pronto, may be our last game in the league cup come Wednesday.
But hey ho, thats only MY opinion, and I'm not a prem manager 😟
