I don't think there's a right back in the capable of containing him. Every time I've seen
him, he's torn the right back apart. Fortunately he doesn't have much end product and
whenever he got a cross in, we dealt with it.
I don't really think any of our other options would've been able to handle him either. TP
is picking a team to be effective in both boxes and with what we have at our disposal,
it's working.
Good comments, Slick.
Further to your remarks about TP, I like this extract I've just seen from:

TONY PULIS LOOKS TO BE DOING IT AGAIN?
What can you say about the Welshman that has not been said before? After the job he did at Stoke and keeping Crystal Palace up last term he seems to be doing it again at West Brom.
It is just one defeat in seven games since he took charge at the club. The image of Pulis’ approach to the game is always about directness and the long-ball, but to be fair that was not the case when it came to the Baggies here.
The home side got it down and wanted to play and they rattled the Swans quite a lot. They got in behind and there were plenty of crosses for the Swans defence to deal with too.
Monk still has a lot to learn in the game naturally and he can learn a thing or two from Pulis.
