Swansea - Post match thread

Thought yesterday was very similar to the Boro match. We were just lucky they got their equaliser with ten mins to go rather than 1 min. Very worrying that despite it (again) being pretty fucking obvious what was happening during that second half, nobody seemed to be able to lift our urgency until they equalised. Obviously delighted we managed to get the three points in the end but it has to be a worry that when we think we are turning a corner and think we have some momentum/confidence, we still look likely to have a nasty surprise result around the corner because we still have the same mistakes in us and don't seem capable of learning from them. Biggest disappointment for me was that Kompany didn't get a start.
 
Crooks is massively mis-reading it.

If there's one thing that is very noticeable about the City team this season is how committed we have been during games. we are most definitely a team this season, whereas last season we were just playing the season out

He assisted the first goal for me, don't know if he got a touch or not but he forced the issue which saw the ball pop up to Jesus, that's an assist in my book.

Don't think he's officially being credited with it.

He won't get dropped for Kun on yesterday's showing. Kun showed when he came on why Gabi's benched him.

I was disappointed about Kompany too. Suggests he is not going to play a major part in our end of season.

We had incessant pressure for 45 mins, but couldn't get the 2nd goal. You are bound to get the opposition coming back into it when the nerves kick in.

Although you're right we could easily have drawn that game, if you take the last 4 games, we look like we have more of a cutting edge to our forward play. Jesus and Sane are very direct and create chances. Formerly we could have the ball for 45 mins reach the penalty area, and get nowhere.

He hasn't but for me he should be, it's like the og he forced at West Ham, he should be credited for forcing the og but isn't.

If anything I think he may be rested against Bournemouth, only because he's started the last 11 straight.

On Aguero, his greed is one of the reasons he's got such an incredible goalscoring record but I also feel it MAY be the reason he doesn't fit Pep.

More likely a rest right before Monaco IMO.

yes, I suppose a couple of months ago without Jesus we wouldn't have gone on to win so that is a big positive but for all the good movement and build up play in that first half I still didn't think we created enough clear chances given how good that front three look. Still think we need a better tempo to our play, thought we slowed down our passing too much once we got the goal which made it a bit easier for them to defend. And then like we have seen so many times this season we only seem to be able to play at a decent level for 45 minutes. It looked to me like we came out with the wrong attitude because the first half had turned into such a stroll and once your intensity has dropped it is difficult to step it up again.
 
Lads, lets not forget how incredible we were in that 1st half. They couldnt get anywhere near us and they were no mugs - The second half showed that.

We'll get there, it wont be this season but it's coming together...
 
To be honest, I didn't think we were that bad in the 2nd half either. It was a bit meh, but not terrible, in my eyes.

Massively bitter and massively shit-stirring more like. It's blindingly obvious that we have a brilliant team spirit going on. Yaya's been transformed, Sterling's playing the best football of his career, Dave is back to where he was 2+ years ago, Kolarov looks like a different player, Sane is going from strength to strength. Heck even Aguero was grinning throughout on the subs bench!

Crooks is just being a twat as usual.
