"It’s very difficult for me to talk about this game. My players gave the maximum. They fought, they played with commitment, they played with heart and the fans pushed the team."
Must have been watching a different game. |  |

To be fair, they did fight, they looked committed BUT the problem is, they’re all f*cking crap! |  |

I did think the players gave the maximum, but the quality wasn't there.
Everything was laboured though with no leader or organizer on the pitch | | | |

I think the payers have outperformed this season after losing Siggy and Llorente.
The crucial decision in my view was resigning Bony after his run of injuries the last few years, are as Andy Carroll for West Ham.
Soton had Austin, Omg and Gabbidani tonight as strikers we had Abrahams. The Ayew brothers aren't strikers they are wingers. Small margins at the end of the day and we still have a chance of staying up. | | | |

Seems to be a bit of a bottler . Failed in 2 play off seasons with Wednesday and after looking as if he got us out of trouble , looks as if he's failed again when the pressure was on. | | | |

Our squad is good enough to stay up - the problem lies with appointing a manager obsessed with designing a gameplan entirely about taking on the oppositions's perceived weaknesses and strengths. As a result we end up playing cynical anti-football that's the antithesis of everything we've stood for. If we go down, as looks very likely, it's very fitting that we will do so having betrayed just about every principle we once stood for, on and off the pitch.
I want our club back. |  | | |

Tbh I’m not sure what position the Ayews are best suited to. If u play them on the wing, they drift infield out of position and don’t track the opposing wingers. But if you play them upfront, they keep coming deep leaving no out ball or target in the box for crosses. I don’t think either have enough positional discipline for the premier league. |  | | |

No, only to utter kunts does that seem the case.
He's very much bang on the case and anyone saying differently is just being a kunt to themselves. |  |

I saw loads of effort out there tonight. I saw a group of players who worryingly didn’t look as though they believe in themselves any more. This poor run and lack of goals has knocked any confidence they had out of them. They looked to me to be trying their hardest but lacking the quality needed at this level.
Carlos should not have changed the shape. It forced Hughes to roll the dice early which is not in his nature and, no doubt, he’ll claim to be a tactical genius which we know he’s not. Without Carlos changing it the scruffy goal doesn’t happen and a draw was never a poor result for us tonight.
Big mistake. |  |

The squad is nowhere near good enough. People go on as if we have the DNA of Real Madrid.
It's been amazing while it lasted, the best period in the history of the club. Sadly it was always going to end in tears when the board wanted to sell out to a less than capable group of owners.
To survive in this league everything needs to be top notch as in player recruitment, manager recruitment, communication between the board and manager etc etc.
Unfortunately, it has all gone sour and a catalogue of mistakes made and we now look as if we are going to pay the price and rightly so. For a club the size of the Swans, if we are going to stay up then we must work hard on all the above mentioned areas. Plenty of bigger clubs have gone the same way.
If we do go down, the club must make some critical decisions.
I'm nervous about the future of the club. These owners thought it wise to appoint Bradley! So if the axis of evil of them and Jenkins remains in situ then fu ck knows what will happen.
Personally I would emulate what Cardiff have done with Warnock. Not in style of play, but hand the reigns over to someone who knows the Championship inside out and run the club top to bottom. Bring in players that he knows he can rely on and suit his style of play.
The writing was always on the wall for this season when Jenkins stated that we didn't need many new players last summer and Clement agreed with him and that was before we lost Lloriente and Siggy.
Back to my opening words, great while it lasted, credit to those who got us there and for keeping us there. BUT... the last few seasons the same people have fu cked up on a monumental scale. |  |

Should be the bare minimum for any game. |  |

Exactly my point.
That's just how it was.

I think Carlos has made a few mistakes, but he has done his best with a limited squad which is very light in some areas. Swansea have Bony and Abraham as the main striking options, one is injured the second a kid whereas Southampton had Austin, along and Gabbiadini in the match day squad. Relying on 2 strikers was a big mistake. | | | |

He weakened our already desperately weak midfield IMO.
This has to be the worst collection of MF players we’ve had in quite some time. |  | | |

Great post.
I saw the interview and quite frankly Carlos has accepted he's out of his depth with what he has at his disposal.
He knows he's blown it and he knows he lost his bottle, it doesn't take much for our feeble minded players to buckle not long after .
I think Carlos run out if ideas a month ago and the players knew it, judging by the performances since then most of those boys look like they were keeping themselves fresh for a move in the summer, not risking injury and coasting til the end hoping somebody else would do something special . |  | | |
