Swansea give you chances other teams don’t give

[A4Jack]

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom was delighted with his side’s comprehensive win against the Swans, and batted away any questions about a lack of possession. Russell Martin’s team again had more of the ball than the other team but not where it mattered as the Blades put four unanswered goals...

That headline sums us up totally, gifting goals and 3 points very generously.

Ain't that the truth.

At the moment we are the gift that keeps on giving, teams must relish playing us as we ain't hard to work out are we.

Just read what he said I agree with it all except the word he used for us ''Brave''. I would personally change that word to ''Suicidal''.

On the contrary we were actually pretty hard to work out at the start of the season, but as soon as one team cracked the code everyone else copied it and we simply haven't adjusted our gameplan to eliminate the spaceship sized hole in our death star.

We’ve simply been ordered to play around the back as if we have the greatest players on the ball that have existed in the game...with respect to the players that we have now. It just doesn’t work.

Martin doesn’t want to adapt whatsoever, surely that is part of good management?

Part of me thinks he wants to be recognised by bigger clubs for his style, thinking that they have the players that will fit this ‘suicidal football’. I get the feeling that Martin doesn’t care too much about what happens with Swansea City.

He's just a very pale shadow Guardiola (so pale he hardly exists). Even with their players it gets tedious when they go back out 100 times, but then they have the players to deliver the killer blows and teams stand off them because they are scared and respectful of their quailty.

On the other hand they just go for us because they know we don't, and we have no ability to deliver much around the oppositions 18 yard box. Painting by numbers Lisa called it, and that is still the best description I've heard. Unfortunately the opposition aren't on the drawing being painted. It's like watching men against children when the opposition contemptuously take the ball off us as we try and go, well, nowhere. If we beat the press we go back and try to do it again. As for Fisher...well, exactly the opposite of what we needed in goal. That really boils my water, spending money on that.

Excellent point,food for thought. Saw Potter and thought....that could be me.
Who knows eh.
