If Taylor is a weak link, and for me, he has improved significantly over recent games, we should be looking to bring in competition for him, not bung in a striker and shuffle everyone up a bit.
Full backs are integral to the way we play. Defensively we would get overrun and there would be no one to overlap the wingers, creating space for them to drift infield. As much as I can understand the temptation to get Bony, Gomis and Siggy on the pitch together, it ain't broke and we don't need to fix it. |  | |  |

Agree with this.
We've looked more solid defensively this season primarily because our wing backs arent going forward very much anymore. We got cut open too often when they used to do that.
Playing 3-5-2 would be bonkers imo. |  |

If your playing attacking forward, 3-5-2 can be great especially on a counterattack. but Swansea's style is very much critical on forming from the back, and pushing to our midfield to deliver to the wings or forward.
We play possession football. We are not a squad that looks to the gaps and sinks long hoofs towards the spaces. It works for some clubs. but were not set up or train our teams in such a way.
You can see what it does to our shape and our movement when we lose a body in defence. Its really not how we would want to see ourselves. I'd rather sacrifice a MF body for a second striker than defence. because our back line is not just for protecting our penalty box. |  |

He should print that out and hand deliver it to Lexy if he wants it taken seriously, otherwise Garry may never implement Max's ideas. | |

"Truth be told, Swansea's left flank has long represented a weak spot."

He follows it with this: "Even during the best months of the Davies era, during the performances that caught Tottenham's eye, Swansea were giving up a disproportionate number of chances on that flank."
Is that not accurate? Again, I don't agree with Hicks' idea for changing formations, but he usually seems to be pretty knowledgeable about the Swans. |  |

Last year we had troubles down that side, largely because Davies bombing forward (as per the game plan) under Laudrup. So to some extents that is right. But we also let teams walz stright through the middle of uf in that horror period (again because players like Chico and JJS had suicide moments bombing forward). Prior to this in Davies' first season and then with Tayls before that we looked sound enough. Tayls turned out some really impressive performances in our first Prem season - Arsenal away springs to mind, but there were many more. |  | | |

So he's fix our left side weakness by asking an attacker to cover the defensive aspect. Genius. |  |
