    The game turned on the withdrawal of Llorente. He was dominating Rannochia for forty minutes and was central to their attacking threat. The Frog simply didn't seem to have a Plan B for dealing with the man.

    With our away form been terrible and coming up against a very good home side next week I wonder if Silva will be tempted to rest our wingers because we are going to come under a lot of pressure and will need a lot more solid look about us in the midfield area. Everton are a quick passing side once given the ball and we can't afford to give it away easy and then not chase back. He might go three at the back and bring Davies in who knows, he has to change something away from home. Great three points today not a good game but we could have been nine points behind Swansea now its only three.

    I'd do exactly the opposite and treat it as a cup final! We've nothing to lose & it'll be on everyone's coupons as a home win! Put you're most attacking team out and see how it rolls! Got my tickets :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Dead legs can be a complicated injury. The whole thigh can fill with blood and need to be drained. A bad one can 4-5 weeks out.

    I'm glad someone's said this. I was going to put it on the motm thread as he got a lot of votes but he got well done. I know,llorente is a handful but ranoccia never won a ball against him.

    I thought Ranocchia was generally doing quite well on Llorente actually. Can't recall many clear cut openings Llorente got.

    Is that what they're saying? I thought Swansea were a bunch of cheating divers.

    I thought Maguire defensively was his usual assured self but his passing was errant. A couple of times straight to oppo player and his long range
    passing was mainly inaccurate.

    It might be his knee is affecting him and he's not fully fit.

    Hopefully he'll get a 2 week rest after next week.

    If ever a player needed a goal it's him.

    That free kick from the right in the second half was atrocious.

    He then went missing for 10 mins after that.

    You can't fault his graft - just needs that goal to settle him down.

    One of our gormless ball boys displayed their usual level of disinterest yesterday. Ball came over he never moved off his chair, just watched it, then lethargically got up and ambled over to it. Didnt seem to know who wanted it and casually threw it back this was at 0-0 in the second half. Elmo and Meyler were both warming up in front of him and the look of disgust by both of them as they watched him was interesting to say the least.

    Jak told the ball boys not to rush after we scored, but one still did and he got a glare.

    Swansea can't really complain, we've beaten them three times this season.

    The last few seasons we've always looked better attacking on the break, and Niasse suites that style.

    I can still see us winning an away game between now and the end of the season. It would also take the pressure off probably having to win our remaining home games.

    I'd love to say Palace away, but rather it was before then.
