Will Swansea get 4 points if they win their next game? http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25115885

In PL?? Not really...

GTFI!!

Alpine on the match thread when we´re behind......that´s not gonna make anyone rich if they put a bet on that...

Too true. Best example is Kagawa at Man U. Similar stats last year to double the price tag and he´s playing for the best team in the league so should be easier for him to have more goals/assists. Does that mean that Kagawa is a terrible player? Of course not.

Who? At PL level?

there are so many discus-s.....

All four of you?

They´ve obviously been on this thread too.... What's with the deluded Southampton fans?

We need to take it further. Go back to all the time MP has been here and remove all goals we scored and you will have the fact that Gareth Barry is our top scorer!!

And you had the goal difference naileld to 15-5 after those 11 games I presume? And how did you not see the loss in the league cup, something wrong that day with your magic 8-ball?

Against Liverpool we scored in the "65th-ish" minute, quite early in the second half at least so dont think that one comes in play. The other two yes. Against West Brom Shaw had a forward run so that one is a good example. I dont remember how we won the corner against Man U put could also be a case. But I still miss that push in most games....

Yeah, tells us that MP is such a great manager that he gets players that used to be defensive minded forward and scoring.

The thing I´m missing is those early crosses into the box when there is space between defenders and the goalkeeper. We dont do that at all almost and instead when fullback is coming down to the line there are so many defenders that it´s very hard to find space for our attacking players. Our crosses from Clyne and Shaw is also a bit too high and not enough pace on the ball imo, makes it a lot harder for defenders if the ball is whipped into the box with a bit of pace on the ball. Another difference to the top teams is that we really haven´t made that push for a goal in the last 10-15 minutes when you commit a lot of players forward and into the box. We made it against Sunderland but more due to some set pieces rather than from open play. Against West Ham, Norwich, Stoke you would like to see that real push for a winner/equaliser but we still dont have that in our team imo. The big teams have that push to win games in the last 10 minutes.

Gaston injured, probably why he wasn´t on the bench against Chelsea.

Is that an answer to my question? Sounds like a very average striker to me if he´s played in all those competition, the best ones usually plays in less competitions and only on the top level.

So then Gary Hooper must be one of the top 5 strikers in the league I presume from the amount of goals he scored in Scotland??

Not true as you can see on this link. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/mauricio-pochettino/leistung-saison/trainer_9044.html 163 goals in 146 la liga games. And that his record was very poor at Espanyol is a blatant lie. He was rather succesful if you know under what premisses he worked at Espanyol. The situation there was like a Wigan of the spanish league that as soon as a player had a good season that player would leave but when Wigan at least could get some experienced pro´s in during transfer windows he basically had to settle with players from the academy, an academy that had to fight with FC Barcelona to get talents in and everyone understands what that is like....

But in the OP I would be tempted to agree, and please take the picture with a sense of humor and a cheeky smile

But still we should play our players already here like Cork, Sharp, Puncheon etc.....but we need to sign players also.

Oh sorry, I though so called fans knew in which order our signings were made since Wanyama was our last signing of similar amount as Osvaldo.........my bad.

Why are you so disappointed with Wanyama? He´s been absolutely great IMO.

Sunday supplement will talk about this game shortly! http://www.btsportshd.com/skysports1.php

Oh sweet memories....
