Bit surprised by the negativity here, maybe some just love a good moan?
Thought we absolutely bossed them in the first half and overall we were much better than Swansea even in the second half, they were very fortunate to get that goal and didn't really earn it, I'm struggling to remember a save Joe had to make so the defense wasn't half as bad as some are making out. Aside from our CB's roaming far too much off the defensive line leaving us a bit nervous and exposed but Fernando and Dinho had it covered so I'd say we shut them out pretty well when you think about it(they were trying after the equalizer but we gave them nothing).
With the chances we had we deserved to win that comfortably but our finishing was sloppy(quite frustrating to see), Kelechi should have bagged two more but it wasn't due to lack of trying it was just not his day, a bit of bad luck with the run of the ball and some poor decision making at the end of some promising situations created by his good linkup play(nice one twos/interchanging etc shouldn't be overlooked there's more to his game than goals). Aguero has been off the boil the past few weeks, hope it's nothing to be worried about but he's never looked so flat and lacking in fight, sloppy first touches and again shooting when he should pass and passing when he can shoot... just one of those days all around for our front two.
Happened too often this season, a repeat of Villa and Norwich away
