At present Swansea is a championship caliber team, but goodness that was horrible defending and the coach bears the blame after one month in charge.
Inerview after the loss: Bradley: "It was a tough day and we have work to do." Sucks to lose like this, but he is looking in the right spots . . . Note: also posted in the yanks Abroad Academy thread
Swansea have scored as many goals as 8th place Everton. Hwvr, as cellar dweller, they should know in 6 weeks or so if they still have a chance or if it's over, for all intents and poiposes. Next gig for Bob could be LAfc??? Sounds good to me.
For those who place the entire blame on the players and not their coach. This was the Guardian review of the last match under Guidolin (v. Liverpool). -------------------------------- Kaplan and Levien had flown in to watch this match in a visit that had been planned for a while but which took on far greater significance amid the speculation about Guidolin’s future. Ryan Giggs and Bob Bradley are both on a shortlist as part of a managerial search that has not always been conducted behind closed doors. In fairness to Guidolin, Swansea were excellent in the opening 45 minutes and the Italian, judging from the number of times that his name was chanted, still has the support of a sizeable number of the club’s supporters. Yet the harsh reality is that this was a fifth defeat in seven league games, with Swansea collecting only one point from a possible 18 since winning at Burnley on the opening day. Those are the sort of statistics to worry any Premier League owner, irrespective of the fact that Swansea have played extremely well in patches in their last two fixtures, against Manchester City and now Liverpool. While the visitors were much the better team after the interval, Swansea should have had more to show for their first-half efforts than Leroy Fer’s fourth goal of the season. Borja, the club’s £15.5m record signing, squandered two excellent chances, the second of which came after Fer had put Swansea ahead. Mike van der Hoorn could still have salvaged a point in injury-time but the central defender – the wrong man in the right place – sliced wide with the goal at his mercy. -------------------------------------- https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/oct/01/swansea-city-liverpool-premier-league-match-report
The players sure hung Francesco out to dry . . . One lone point out of 18 in the 6 matches following the opening day win v Burnley. Wow, just wow . .
