It's overall quality we lack not the tactics. We had enough possession to win the game but so few efforts on target. If we had an out and out goalscorer in that team we get at least a draw. Striker is needed but I would rather wait until the summer and get the right man than panic buy now and risk another Niasse or Tosun.

Absolutely. Our quality on the ball was also complete crap, but it wasn't tactical. They had zero pressure on us in the 2nd half, and we couldn't make a pass to save our lives. Our passing and decision making is killing us. We have like a 78% passing rate, yet over 50% possession and we are like top 6/7 in shots and chances created.

Obviously, would love to be anywhere near them. The point is, crap teams sometimes beat teams who are good. So it's no surprise to see crap teams draw with or beat a team that is slightly less crap than them...

Pity we can't seem to manage the trick.

The damage done by Koeman/Walsh and Allardyce will take time to undo. I liked the way we tried to go about things unfortunately a couple of players have gone off the boil and a couple not uo to required standard. Knee jerking will not solve this patience is the order of the day.

Whoa. Wait a second. LCFC had about ZERO chances. They had 40% possession and didn't even complete 70% of their passes.

Are you suggesting the goal we conceded was because we had too high of a line? Keane was BEHIND the center circle, Zouma was even deeper, which is how we got anywhere near Vardy when he scored. If anything they weren't high enough.

Honestly, where do most team's backlines play when the ball is in the other team's zone? AT LEAST that high, and that's literally every team in the league.

Who cares? They scored a goal and won. We got 0 point out of another home game.

I think there is a major fluke in his defence setup. Quite often the full back are pushed up too high which left the full back position exposed and the opposition often target Coleman as the weakest link. When there is a though ball or something our CB do not have much pace to recover. I am not saying Zouma is slow but Vardy is pacy. Of course it was Keane’s fault yesterday. Walcott too with that hopeless header.

Well Allardyce didn't do us any damage at all.
Walsh also bought Keane, Gana and Siggy, who have been three very important players this season.
Koeman yes, I can see your point about patience, but Silva is showing little to calm our nerves, if it wasn't for Brands I'd actually be very worried.

If he finished 7th or higher there is no reason to sack him because he delivered results. For me if a manager can deliver results I don’t care if the football is dull or not.

He was despised by the fans because he is BFS. He was employed to put the fire out and he did his job.

And to hope a manager can deliver with no record to back him up is called blind faith. The situation now is a bit like Martínez second season although I agree Silva should get this season at least.

That didn't answer the question. Do you believe they were planning to keep the corrupt arrogant oaf if he finished 7th or better?

Allardyce brought in Tosun for £28 million and played some of the worst football in living memory. I was ecstatic when he got the sack. As for Walsh 3 out of about 10 isnt what we needed when we had a once in a generation war chest. Also Sigurdsson is good but he wasn't worth £45 million.

Allerdyce didn't need to play good football, he needed to keep us up and go, he did that and left.
Siggy was worth every penny of 45m as we tried and tried to get him but that was the lowest Swansea would go.
Don't get me wrong, Walsh was a nightmare, but the form under Silva can't be blamed on the previous crowd

Are Walcott and Coleman part of the previous crowd? Because I would say they are the biggest problems.
