Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [5th - 9th December 2014]

To be fair, having seen Bojan at Ajax last season I would have considered it £3m down the drain had Newcastle signed him. Add to that his wages - which are presumably higher than average for a player of that value - and that fact that you'd be buying him instead of a more established attacking midfielder, and I can understand why clubs weren't lining up for him.

Who just scored for Swansea? Missed it.

Bony.
 
Bony, ludicrously casual looking finish. Ball across and he just passed it into the net looking like he was 100% certain he would go in no matter what he did. Striker in form and full of confidence. Bony is looking absurdly good this season after a very strong first season.

A lot of strikers have a great season then disappear, it's looking increasingly like Bony isn't one of those strikers, his record before joining Swansea was ridiculous even if in a weaker league.
 
I'm not so sure because he didn't deny him a goal scoring opportunity, Sakho just failed to take it. Red seems harsh imo. I bet if Sakho had scored he wouldn't have got a red.
 
Was never a red for Fab, aside from the fact he didn't prevent a goal scoring chance, it was barely contact and Sahko handballed it before the contact. He also handballed it I thought in the build up to his goal though a bit more accidental than the first one.

Swansea only had short spells of playing well, the left back was god awful. Seemed totally right footed, refused to pass down the line, if the ball broke out on his side he'd run 10 yards then turn back and often pass to someone under pressure, defensively was weak as well.

Defensively on the whole Swansea got caught over and over pressure too high against a team just looking to knock it long in behind, that they didn't adjust to that meant too many easy chances for West Ham. Likewise from corners West Ham went high and to Carroll every single time, what on earth was Briton doing 6-7 yards from the post trying to intercept a low ball into the box. Had he started on the post he would have prevented the second goal so easily.

Swansea played well at times but seemed to be completely unable to adjust to West Ham's tactics, which is weak as said tactics were painfully predictable.

Commentator in absolute nonsense shocker.

Could it be that the Villa midfielders are just incapable of playing an early pass? Benteke's runs have been good, they just take forever to notice them.

It was a blatant red, just like the Konchesky one!
