How long left????

Maicon doesnt seem like an excess purchase anymore, hope hes close to fitness

Richards will never be the player he could be because he is made of glass. He can't play more than 3 games in a row without breaking down.

Brilliant finish. I said we'd step it up in the second-half, like we always do, and we have. Now let's go and get a few more.

Im intrigued by the play shit for one half and step it up for the second half tactic.

It's not 'playing shit' it's just refraining from pushing too high up the pitch whilst your opponent has energy to burn because it leaves you open to counter attacks early on. Especially with our defence the way it is at the moment. You wear the opponent out with possession in one half and then push forward for the kill in the second.

This isn't a new thing, we've been doing this for about as long as I can remember.

No we have not, last season we played that way for the first 15 or twenty minutes whilst sussing the opposition out. There is a difference between playing conservatively and playing without any idea at all.

Really hope we have another goal in because between Michu and our propensity to not keep a clean sheet I certainly think Swansea have one in them.

Did he just say 12 added minutes?

Suspected cruciate ligament damage for Micah

I get so frustrated with Micah. Such a good player but injuries are a massive problem. Hope he gets better soon.

Edit : Just heard he could be out of 6 months. WTF!

So when does the kill come, we are at 89 mins.
