Swansea’s poor performance at the weekend was particularly underlined by their lack of shots on goal.

The visitors only shot on goal was a half chance from Gylfi Sigurdsson which was immediately blocked before it even reached the penalty area.

Bradley’s choice to leave his Icelandic midfielder as a lone striker was a very poor one. Despite having over £20m worth of striking options on the bench, summer signings Fernando Llorente and club-record signing Borja Baston only featured in the second-half.

Llorente’s introduction at half-time gave the visitors a new option and he was one of their best players on Saturday. He was still not good enough to start in Bradley’s opinion, despite a late brace from him securing a last-gasp win against Crystal Palace.

If Bradley wants any chance of survival this season, he needs to be starting a recognised striker on a regular basis.
