Ginko Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Swansea finished 9th on 46 points last season, we finished 15th on 41. This season we're currently 10th on 27 points whilst they are 12th on 24. Swansea also won a cup last season. There may not be a huge gulf between our two teams in point tallys and results in the league, but no one could argue that Swansea play much better football than we do, and with a few tweaks they could be a really good team and get some more consistent and sustainable success. Laudrup just plays the sort of football I'd personally prefer to watch, and I think that brand of football is the way forward to be successful. Lambert hasn't had an easy task, but he doesn't play the sort of football I like and he makes absolutely bizarre tactical decisions, demonstrated perfectly against Everton. That's why I'd prefer Laudrup. Edited February 4, 2014 by Ginko 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I would take Laudrup for Lambert any day Why? Because he plays pretty football that doesn't get results Doesn't get results? Won a cup, 12th in the table, only three points less than us, and is still Europe. Who'd want that. The injuries they have had this season have been ridicilous too. Europa League allways shred teams apart, it's nothing new We're currently second to Arsenal in the injury table according to PhysioRoom But we don't have to cope with the Europa League right? And also Lambert has failed in the cups (with purpose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Avenue Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Id say Swansea are all fart and no shit under laudrup, whereas we are all shit with no fart under lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Also, Swansea have been playing good football for years under various managers. Unless you can point to how Laudrup set his teams up in previous jobs than that argument carries little weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair enough point. I'm not saying we definitely should, in fact I know we won't so it's all academic, I was just stating why I personally would prefer Laudrup as a manager.

Because that's lumped into an argument that they're also in Europa. The football is pretty, no one denies that. But the end result is the same with swansea. In the end, it won't matter who the manager is unless you up the funding. Just polishing a turd at that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENTLEMAN Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Just get behind Lambert guys, having all these fanciful ideas in your head is not going to help. Lambert is here to stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) We wouldn't have got out of the Europa group stages should we have even been lucky enough to get there...Swansea waltzed through. Shortsighted people thinking Lambert is the better manager because we are 2 places above them in the league. Duh!

Rovers13 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I think a lot of people on Villa talk would begin to hate Swansea's style if Villa played that way. A lot of it is really slow pointless passing between defenders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Personally I wouldn't take Laurdrup here. I don't think our players, especially the midfielders are technically good enough to play that style. Just don't agree with some of the posts playing down what he's done at Swansea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
