Some absolutely shocking passes and control from players who are better than that showing.

Have to give Swansea credit,have played well we have been ok maybe a bit slack in our passing,but the ref has been poor again foul after foul goes unpunished for Swansea don't know how many routledge has had,as soon as we foul it seems the card come out ..

We took control in that final 5 minutes but overall a really sloppy half.

Referee's card distribution has been very peculiar.

WTF was that,we need to change it

Silva looks just off the pace right now—could have played Aguero in right before the break but choose to take a touch instead which killed the move.

Not just him, though, everyone's touch and decision making has been a bit off thus far. Even De Bruyne has made some questionable passes in the final third when he had a better option available.

Hopefully Pep sets things right for the second half.

Silva and de Bruyne both wasteful in the final third. De Bruyne should have scored. We look dodgy at the back, and could concede another.

They have had to chase so much that hopefully our fitness and the fact they will be knackered will mean we get more space - Patience needed. Only down side for me is Sagna looks his age, but we have to expect that teams will not just lay down. Pep will make a subtle change and we will win this.

We would have lost this game last Season based on that half. I expect Pep will put some rockets up some lazy arses.

 

[Yates]

Been in promising positions but constantly playing poor passes, wrong passes or poor touches.

 

[Eds]

Sagna poor all round, the final ball has been poor, had enough chances to be three or four up though. We will not play that badly second half. Ferny needs to be careful as he is a yellow, ref shocking.
