| Swansea City v Watford : Match day thread on 13:17 - Aug 23 by Landore_Jack | Sheehan has got this one wrong. Cullen offers nothing up front. The majority can see he is not a striker. |
"Heis not a striker" is a myth. He has been a striker since he was 10 is all the underage teams. He is the best Swansea have produced and has glaring deficiencies. One of them is an unwillingness to go all in for headers. The more Swansea city staff big him up the worse he plays. As far as I can see it is Vipotnik or bust. He is 22 and room to improve.. |  |

Not a myth. His best position is at 10. He is not a number 9. |  |

He’s been woeful but surely Cullen can’t start again Sheehan must see that Biggest difference is the Swedes Biggest puzzle why Wales isn’t featuring |  |

Inoussa especially. He is a star in the making. For me, Eom and Ronaldo are a bit meh. Stamenic looks good. We need an outlet up top though. Can VIP grow into it?? Watford were no mugs and a side I’d expect to see there or thereabouts at the end of the season. Consistency has been an issue for them of old do they’ll need to keep that form up. |  |

well he now needs to keep his head down and work hard on his game to improve himself, we still need another striker tho |  | |  |

I was just about to ask the question whether the finishing 11 are our strongest line up or have certain players been brought on to exploit weaknesses due to fatigue in the opposition? I suspect good readers of the game on here such as RichardO can offer an answer but my feeling is that the players who left the field in the end should be starting. Especially Inoussa. |  |

Baffling innit VIP does look a striker whereas Culls doesn’t Great to see him head the ball I thought there was a player on there but of late he’s been poor It might be the way we play though Wittel looks dynamite and as I say why he hadn’t started worries me we’ve been crying out for some size on midfield and we have it on Stamenic He will be a crowd favourite . Trust me Innossa is ahead of Ronald IMO Also I would bench Key as he’s a mistake just waiting Galbraith looks truly class So, I was encouraged although annoyed st the way Sheehan starts us Also need to bin Fulton asap as we do EOM who is just a waif and stray in a shirt |  |

Inoussa had an injury and we don't know what the advice from the physios is. It could be that they don't want him playing too much game time as yet. If you aren't careful a small niggling injury can be made far more serious. |  | |  |

No, that’s a very good point. |  |

Agree with all that. Galbraith making such an enormous difference at RB raises a few question for me too. Although that maybe due to Key being so poor today. |  | |  |

Key has always been risky Galbraith is a way safer and more dynamic option I just Sheehan wises up after today However we would have lost without Vigaroux Hrs priceless and irreplaceable That’s what concerns me As for WAtford , wasting time FFS Ludicrous |  |
