This is a move they should have made in November rather than the Pulis gamble & then subsequently just coasting without a manager since December. Big decision for Moore, Donny doing well & Wednesday have absolute basket case owners. May end in tears.

Agreed. Lot to like about Swansea but their antics cause me to lose an awful lot of respect for them.

Well, go more recently then, why give him 15mins v Brentford or 25mins v Swansea when you have Shipley & Allen both unused? It's a bizarre conspiracy theory that makes absolutely no sense but then looking at who dreamed it up in this thread that's not really a surprise.

I don't understand this conspiracy theory, there's literally zero logic to it. He's made 7th most appearances of anyone in the squad & if there was a concern about hitting an appearance milestone why would you bring him on for 11mins v Reading when the game's already over & you have Jamie Allen...

Due to injuries.

If you watched on iFollow you can view it again, 69mins. It's pretty clear & obviously deliberate, why would you bring your left foot down at a completely different angle to your right otherwise.

I'm intrigued to know what he was even selling.

Hopefully they don't, don't want their best defender missing games against our rivals. No, that's right.

"Take the defender away"? Why on earth would a defender leave the man in possession a free run at goal to go & mark someone without the ball??

Disagree. He can't simply go central as he would just dribble it straight into the covering defender to nick it off him. Given that the defender is on his left shoulder he has to carry it right. Biamou just has to hold his run next to him. Gyökeres is never scoring from there, the defender is...

Just watched the mix up with Biamou again... On second viewing, it's all on Max. Below image probably doesn't do it justice but Gyökeres carries it waiting for the defender to be on him ready to then just roll it into Max for a free run at goal. Wtf is Max thinking running across him from here?

Watch it back again as it just have. Gyökeres has a man right on him, no way he could get a clear shot away. You can see from his body shape he's about to roll it into the path of Biamou who inexplicably tried to run across him.

Wilson 7 - largely untroubled but the save from Armstrong at the end of the first half after James's mistake was vital. Couple of really poor kicks. McCallum 7.5 - MotM. Defensively sound, Elliott is a terrific talent & he & Nyambe doubling up offered a real threat which he dealt with well...

He'd have even been better by just standing still like he usually does, Gyökeres would have rolled it to him for a tap in.

Was poor today no doubt, nothing like a classic overreaction though.

He was much better in the 2nd half yes but it's been a recurring theme from him throughout the season. At what point do we accept that he's just not up to it?

Yep. One goal was direct from a corner, another deflected in after charging down the keeper. Freak result.

But for their freak battering of Swansea we would be

Not sure we'd want their captain & only decent CB suspended for games against our relegation rivals though.

Only a point behind Huddersfield now
