I wonder if Johnson has been instructed to hang back because he's been uncharacteristically unadventurous tonight. In Dyer and Montero they have posshibilities on the counter so maybe not a bad idea.

Anyways, strange game plan by Swansea. They must have seen what happens when other teams press us in defence so why are they sitting back and letting us have the ball? Relying on the counter? Seems unnecessary in our current state. We're no real threat on the counter with Lambert up front.

Midfield is playing well. Coutinho magical and frustrating in equal measure.

Nothing up front bar the odd decent touch by Markovic / Lambert / Borini.

Very good first half, probably the best I've seen us play this season.
We can do better upfront though. A couple of decent chances for Borini and Coutinho.

The midfield is looking balanced and cohesive. Hendo and Lucas have pretty much stopped Swansea from attacking. We even look assured in defence, probably due to our hard working midfielders.
Coutinho looks lively but is having trouble finding players in the box.

Lambert and especially Borini are doing well upfront. Both look hungry and up for it.
Markovic is doing OK so far. Wouldn't be surprised if he's subbed for Lallana in the 2nd half, if he doesn't improve.

Thanks man.

We'll play 2 up when Sturridge is back, so then to just have Borini on the bench and nothing behind that would be ill-advised for squad depth, especially with 4 competitions to win.

Bodgers would only bring him on with a minute to go anyway.. Pointless signing
 
Have we had a shot on target yet? Last season has become a distant memory.. We are just the exact opposite..

We never look like scoring.. Last season we always liked like scoring..
 
If we where play in gaelic football we would be bossing this game and Borini would be the Bossest! !
 
Monk looked devastated there.

Ah well. Uphill battle now given that we've not looked like scoring at all tonight.
 
Way too many fannys in this team, Lucas Markovic and Johnson all refusing to make decent tackles

For all the money spent our 2nd string is still appallingly lightweight
