Rutter at 10 means we can interchange Bamford and Piroe without it being an issue

Georginio is a natural 10. And he’s much better in that spot than Piroe. So the latter needs to stay up high or he will find himself on the bench watching Bamford play.

The movement in front of Archie, and his vision to see it is a joy to behold.

True. He's already played several great through balls to Gnonto, including the one he scored on.

So far no competition either, their defending is the worst I’ve seen this season ( not taking anything away from our excellent performance).

I can't decide if it's we have been that good or if Swansea are absolutely awful defensively.
Probably both if I'm honest.
Some of our attacking play has been outstanding.

Indeed!!

Before the game started Paul and i saw the BBC lining Swansea up 4-2-3-1, i nearly posted on here that we should all be thanking the Swansea manager before a ball is kicked, we are good tonight, but this is the worst Swansea i've seen in a long long time, they're all over the shop and don't seem to know where and when to run, a lot is to do with us though.

Too many leeks in the Swansea defence

[Kennyb41]

Indeed!!

And i don't know if we'll see it in the 2nd half now coz their manager must be going nuts, but feck me they had 5 players sometimes drawn to the ball when their was just no need coz there was no present danger, then gaps just appeared everywhere for us to run into.
Dare i say, it was very much akin to a v v bad Jesse style like they were gunning for the ball by crowding and pack hunting, but without a feckin scoobie how or when to do it.

Correct - and still have depth in most positions on the bench.

[White Riot]

Farke's side certainly defend better than Bielsa's don't they?

not so difficult that

Let's hope he can keep it up when we get promoted

Bielsa did well defensively at this level and had that run of maybe 10 clean sheets at the end of our first season back in the EPL.

After that we had teams and coaches just taking the piss out of him and us, and our subsequent coaches over the following two seasons

[Kennyb41]

Is there an update on PB, i made a brew, missed the first couple of mins, then saw Piroe and thought i'd misread the teamsheet.

Have that one on ESPN+ at the moment. Bristol looking lively and their press is causing the Saints some issues.

As I was reading the first paragraph of your post I was thinking Marsh ball. You nailed it!!
