I'm sure we all have our own opinions on it and i have mine, which is the purchase and usage of Ayew.A lot might disagree and probably will but what's your thoughts on why we've suddenly become so poor? |  | | |  |

His goals have kept criticism away. But he clearly doesn't fit in with our style of play. He's another that Monk is too scared to drop.
Why we got rid of Dyer is getting highlighted more and more. We have no change of strategy. |  | | |

We are very unbalanced and i think that Ayew is a big part of that. JJS and Ki are both trying to do the same job in the same areas, we would be better off playing Leon in there in place of one of them. We are creating zilch at the moment. |  |

i don't think you can pin it all on one player. Siggy hasn't exactly been the player he was last season. Gomis looks slow and heavy when he's on the ball, bad touches etc. The defence looks shot of confidence especially Fernandez. I think Monk choses to accommodate a lot of the players on that pitch when they aren't deserving of places on recent performances whatsoever.
I saw a stat at half time that we had passed the ball around and all the players at high percentage completion rates, to me that means f*ck all unless the passes are threatening in the final third or are with the aim of penetration. At the moment, the team looks slow and laboured, there's no urgency there. |  | | |

I can't understand why we don't try Ayew as the main striker - his touch is good and he can score a goal or two. Then we could revert to having two out and out wingers and the team would be better balanced. Thoughts? |  | | |

A poor transfer window has not strengthened the squad. From the game time Eder gets it is clear that he is not rated by the manager. The risk of having only two central strikers is clear. Ayew is unbalancing the midfield and I don't know what we are trying to do there. As for the other signings they don't get near the bench.
I get the feeling that we are putting what we feel are our best players on the pitch but they are not the best team. That is something the management team need to sort out fast.
Add to that a lack of confidence and you have serious problems.
Sort the shape of the team out and other things should start falling into place | | | |

Gomis, Ayew and Fernandez are Monks' 'big' money signings, he wont drop any of them. |  |

Unbalanced team
We need Montero & routs out wide from now on , the rest can battle it out for positions
Poor centre forward needs dropping / replacing , maybe .
That's it in a nut shell for me . |  |

I wouldn't want to see Ayew dropped. The other two yeah. Fernandez is a liability and Gomis looks like he cba | | | |

I think Ayew is a fine player, but he wont work in our side in our current situation.
If and when teams shut Montero down (and thats easy given how slow we move the ball around currently (think its why he brought Britton on?!), we can only attack down the middle and thats uber easy to defend if teams play like Norwich did. We have no attacking threat down the right hand side as Ayew likes to cut in, and its also why Naughton gets isolated so often. Shelvey or Gylfi cant shoot from distance either as teams overload the middle, therefore we have nowhere to go.
Fernandez is just gash. Amat must be wondering wtf he is doing here. | |

Has anyone given any thought to the fact that Ayew may have upset some coming in on potentially substantially higher wages than others?
Not based on anything mind, just a thought. |  | | |

I doubt that very much .
It's been said above ,once they snuff out Montero it's all down the middle as we have no real width out on the right .
It takes a top top team to try and get goals through the middle ala Barca.
Let's get back to proper width , that's what we do best . | |

Agree with this. we need to go back to 2 out and out wingers to give us options on both flanks, it also gives us more room in midfield, also need to give Eder a run of game, Gomis seems for some reason undroppable. | | | |

Or is it that the manager thinks that Eder is not good enough and he is only on the bench because we don't have anyone else in the squad?
Maybe Gomis is one of these players that scores in bursts and Garry is hoping that by keeping him on he'll get one and get back on a scoring run.
All speculation on my part.
I think that Garry ought to post on planet swans and tell everyone what he is thinking and what is going on behind the scenes to help us understand what is happening and to give us all the information we need to give him sound advice about how to put things right. | | | |

Our style over the last few seasons, such that it was, dictates that we have a defensive midfielder protecting the back 4, breaking up opposition attacks and making himself available for a pass. We also need 2 wide players and Ayew is not one of them. Then we need to pick 3 other players to fit in with that basic template and it clearly won't accommodate Ki, Shelvey, Sigurdsson, Gomis and Ayew and they have to be rotated, rested, whatever. |  | | |

If that's true about the wages, it's highly possible. I don't want to make Ayew an escaped goat, but the guy is anonymous in games. He rarely helps us build any momentum on the ball going forward. But then he pops up with goals, so it's difficult to criticise. But as TEAM we were more together with a natural wide player on the right. Why Garry doesn't try the 'diamond' now he's got a player like Ayew is beyond me. |  | | |

Bloody hell if Eder ain't good enough and Tabanou ain't right either then that's £8.5million totally wasted this summer | | | |

All speculation of course but with the small amount of game time Eder gets and Tabanou doesn't get into the squad it does make you think that something may have gone wrong on the scouting front | | | |

laudrup brought in lots of good players like michu, bony, chico, jdg, pablo, etc
monk inherited laudrup's team and was successfull.
now we're seeing monk's team and unfortunately he's been found out.
so now we're a one dimensional disjointed lethargic shadow of our former selves. |  | | |

You can start by playing Jon jo as an attacking midfielder he's far more effective, Leon or Cork can play in that position .Rotate Ki and Siggy, add pace and the chances will return |  |

Add the undroppable Gomis wages to that equation. | | | |

Let's not rewrite history with "monk inherited laudrup's team and was successfull."
Whether he is the right man for the job now or not is irrelevant but we did not achieve our best ever PL season with Laudrup's team so give him some credit for what he achieved whether it turns out he will be here long term or not |  | | |

Gomis head is probably still in Dubai, and Ayew's is probably in Merseyside. | |
