The battle for possession next season

Status
Not open for further replies.

So far 15 teams have attempted 400+ passes this season as opposed to 11 last year.

Possession masters such as Liverpool and Everton (who both tried to copy our style) are limited to only 51% average possession each so far. This is wonderful news for the league. The promoted sides, Bournemouth especially, are a breath of fresh air.

Hi Bri. You are the living definition of a cockwomble.
Please post more x
 
I can't wait, for the first time ever there's only about 3 hoof ball teams left in the league and, thanks to Swansea, most teams are playing the ball on the ground.

Swansea - The pass masters ofcourse, started this trend. Inspired the likes of Liverpool, yourselves, Bournemouth and Southampton.

Man United - Van Gaal has them playing possession football now.

Man City - Always been a strong possession outfit.

Arsenal - Our beautiful football rivals, Wenger has them playing good football again.

Chelsea - Mourinho has realised his team must keep the ball more.

Liverpool - Rodgers has tried to bring the Swansea way to Liverpool.

Everton - Martinez has tried likewise with Everton.

Tottenham - Poch has instilled good possession football.

Bournemouth - Big fan of Howe, he is a future Swansea manager, brought nice football to Bournemouth.

Southampton - Poch and now Koeman carrying on good football.

Newcastle - McClaren will have them playing nice football.

Norwich - Alex Neil has brought a nice style to Norwich, they will hold their own.

West Ham - Billic will do the same for West Ham, finally rid of hoofball Allardyce.

Stoke - Mark Hughes likes possession football.

Aston Villa - Sherwood likes to play possession football.

Watford - Flores I heard likes to play on the deck.


Who will let us down? West Brom - hoofball Pulis has taken them backwards, Crystal Palace (Pardew) are too counter attacking, Sunderland should really play good footy with a dutch man at the helm but I have no confidence in them either. Leicester we'll see, depends who they bring in.

This is great though for English AND Welsh football, our elite teams playing the proper way!

Oh Bri.

Will you still post when you go down?
 

@BrianSwan

Ignore the banter mate, here's an honest question for you.

What do you think's gone wrong this season which, lets be honest, has been a pretty awful one for you so far. You must be worried by your current form, which is relegation like really, so what do you think you need to do to stem the tide to ensure Premier League survival, or do you think you've just been punching over your weight and lower middle table is about right for you ?
 
Really Swansea sinking back to the championship is just a return to the natural order of things.

No different than the likes of Wigan, Bradford, Bolton and a few others who've come up done okay for a few seasons then fall back down.

That is why I get annoyed when people decry the thoughts of Everton winning a League or an F.A. Cup by saying "but look what happened to Wigan, to Pompey, to Brum, to Boro etc. after they won one.....they were relegated".

Hello?

That's what these teams do.....they go up and down divisions.

They would have gone down anyway even without winning a cup.

:Blink:
