Match Thread | Swansea vs Manchester City (24/09/16)

Sagna playing with his boots tied together. Need to pick it up big time , that was really poor.

Can't be complaining about the refs when we got away with a clear pen.

Exactly, ref has been shit both ways. Our problem mostly stems from us, not the ref.

 

[Georgian Maestro]

We should bring on Sane for Gundogan and try to stretch Swansea more. To be fair all our attacking players have shown poor touches, decisions in the final third and generally sloppy play today. Just generally off the pace for some reason.

Agreed

Wish Sagna wud fook off. Useless in all departments.

Erm, he got the assist for the goal & had some great touches from Fernandinho's raking passes out wide, has consistently found De Bruyne's overlapping runs..

Yes he slipped for the goal, but of all players to have a go at I'd argue he's been our best performer.

Blimey

How many bookings do they have after all the fouls they made?

Looks like the team with the most possession 70% or so will end up with the most bookings very strange or dodgy..

Id be tempted to bring Kelechi and Navas on.

i would bring Navas on to balance out the team but who do you take off from silva/kev or gundogan?

 

[cucumberman]

i wouldnt go so much to say that swansea has been poor. If anything they have been playing fast balls like us. This is a good test for us and its good for Pep to see it early in the season so he can fix how we can play when gundogan and de bruyne has been contained. There's not much space in the middle and swansea is comfortable to see out attacks from the flank. Lets see how he sets up for the 2nd half.

Other than this, i think staying in swansea hasnt done de bruyne and to a lesser extent the team any good.

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Swansea can't keep their pressing up for another 45 we will exploit spaces in 2nd half imho
