Gazred Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Pressed everything in sight, tracked back constantly, held it up well, linked play and a clinical finish. MOM today for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engvall’s Splinter Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Defence starts from the front. We were superb for a period a few years back with Bobby up top. Wells and Conway press well both individually and collectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 The over-riding thing is that Wells and Conway are a good partnership. It’s no co-incidence that they both have good games when they play alongside each other, and that they both tend to perform less effectively alongside someone else. Today was the perfect example of that. Several times they just knew where the other was going to be and what balls to play where. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disappointed to see him brought on tbh. Martin comes on when the other forwards are totally knackered closing down for 75 minutes. He wins headers, occupies two defenders while doing it and is a very clever at the dark arts which he demonstrated admirably at West Brom. I'm sorry if you can't appreciate this. 17 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 There as a moment in the second half which showed for me why Tommy has “it”. Ball was heading down their left hand side in the air, defender favourite. Tommy, as it was coming, knew he wouldn’t win the ball but levered the defender slightly so he would be off balance. It meant that in the second phase, he made the tackle on the touchline. You might just see the tackle, but the intelligence to create the opportunity for the tackle was immense. See also the delayed pass last season against Bournemouth for Weimann to score. Hes not just a high energy presser. He’s a very intelligent footballer. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wells looked tired, so many shuttle runs closing down their CBs. And a few minutes before the sub, I thought Swansea breached us between the lines for the first time, earning a corner (or two), and subs seemed sensible. Its possible Wells might also have been playing through illness too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to say this is true. I despaired when he came on - the obvious sub was Bell for the tiring Conway. Wells didn’t want to come off. Antoine should have stayed on. Couldn’t see the point of CM coming on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgy Red Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 3 hours ago, Super said: Martin offers next to nothing these days. I was disappointed to see him brought on tbh. Sadly this is true. Chris Martin has been a decent professional but taking off Wells and Semenyo gave the clear message that we were purely trying to hold on to what we had. We looked dangerous with Conway, Wells and Semenyo on the pitch and it always gave us a chance to press Swansea high up the pitch. Overall i thought a draw was about right although we did have a couple of very good chances early on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Wells and Conway are a real partnership. They work hard, they understand how each one works and are happy to play in the other. I really loved the goal today, at first I thought it was a poor pass by Wells, but it was just perfect. Saw it on the screen at HT, a little disguise and perfect weight. But what a great run from Tommy, and just a brilliant finish. Semenyo was off today, but if he could start to work out that position those 3 could really be a threat.

I agree but would add that when we play big strong teams they really struggle, I think that's when Semenyo is needed although he really needs to improve his first touch and control.

I am pretty sure Semenyo was one of them, I also think that Wells showed his experience in the way he paced himself through out the game. At a guess I would say that Scott was another and maybe even Matty James (see my comments for Wells). I thought James really showed his worth today, btw. Not only in his own performance but the way he helped organise the midfield and forward line Edited October 30, 2022 by Port Said Red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know. But play the game in front of you, especially when it’s in the balance. I appreciate that the front three had done a lot of hard work - that’s why I would have swapped Bell for Conway - but I think we could have delayed taking off Wells and Semenyo for a bit longer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said in another thread that Semenyo and Wells seemed to be a couple of the ones who got off their sick beds to play yesterday, and both looked out on their feet on the hour.

cidered abroad Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 How some of our fans talk a load of rubbish at times. There has been a Flu outbreak in the club and that is the reason why some subs happened yesterday. A very good performance considering all those who put in a shift. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
