JayT - Always A Fox!

I think the fact that Cooper has worked with him before with England, he will know his strengths as a player. I’ve always liked his work rate and ability to break up play. Cooper clearly wants players that are going to work hard. Without Wilf or Winks, we’re light in midfield quality and I can see Soumare leaving still.

I don’t believe Man City are playing their best 11 today, nor United for that case. 10 years ago, maybe. But in todays day and age we have far to much analysis going on to give tactics and ideas away too soon? Surely it’s about getting those final minutes into legs that need it and maybe another few tactical ideas in the team from set pieces or as such.

Do you all really think he’s going to play his first 11 in his final pre season game?

Yeh - Alves has just recovered from a season out with ACL injury.

By all accounts Brighton fans are not happy about this and wanted him to feature more this season, so not necessarily.

I wouldn’t say it’s all been bad. Fatawu? Hermansen? I would say they were talents?

I remember thinking at the time that his arrogance will ultimately see his demise, only for Vardy and the senior players ‘meeting’ that really pulled them back out of the mess at the end of last season, before too late. Maybe time will tell as mentioned, and he’s using this as his base plan with new ideas yet to come. But it does make you wonder if this really will be it for them and he thinks because they are a ‘bigger’ (more expensive) club/team they will work better with his obvious tactics.

Having kept an eye over Chelsea’s first 2 pre season games, he’s carbon copied what he did with us. I would’ve thought he’d have some new idea’s or systems and maybe he will have eventually, but nothing as of yet. Is he really so fixated on ‘his way’? I’ve also watched both games for Celtic and Kasper has been fantastic, I am pleased to say.

Soumare is better in a ‘slower’ league. Definitely a footballer in there, just not a Premier League footballer unfortunately. Thomas struggled at both Sheffield (relegated again) and then in the championship at Borro.

Best away pubs for Swansea? Thanks in advance.

Me and my mate said it against Hull. Nobody had the quality of pass to reach his runs. He’s still bang at it, especially in this division. Not going to play every week obviously - but if we can find that quality pass when he does play, he’ll score plenty.

Absolutely. If the management was again to change in a year or so’s time - we may require them!

Why is he still here?

Agreed 👍

Coady comes straight back in. He’ll be the main man and captain. Enzo built the team around Coady, Winks and Ricardo.
