Swansea - Post match thread

I was staggered that he didn't change it after 15 mins second half. The difference in momentum from half 1 was palpable and it needed a change, Raheem and Sane were so much better handled by Swansea. Should have brought Sergio on for Raheem early in the half.
 
I agree, hence my chemistry set analogy. There are blues here who have faith and think if we give Pep time, and money (which I'm sure he'll get) it'll all come good, and on the balance of probability they may well be right, but right now? Can anyone here say we've not dropped points because of Peps inexperience? Can anyone say we'd have fewer points if Conte were our manager? Or even Koeman?

We've not reached a stage where there are diverging camps emerging among the fans, but there is a bit of bewilderment setting in over the post match pints.

If Conte had the same amount of poor refereeing decisions Pep has had then we wouldn't be anywhere near as far behind as we are.

Again, what does any of this have to do with what happened versus Swansea? We've played the same team and system for how many matches on the trot now in all competitions? He's not tinkered much at all for a while now, even held the GK from the cup matches. This is maybe the most bizarre time possible to make this complaint.
 
A lot depends on whether you're in for watching good football or win at all costs.

Pellers was always going on about how it was not just the win, but the way we win, the way we play that mattered. That attitude distinguished him and Pep from the likes of Ferguson and Mourinho.

This season, our first half performance against Utd and Barcelona at home have lived up to Pellers words, if we get more of that I'm all for it.

You might well be right, maybe I just don't like watching my team perform in the gap between what has been and what is to come.
 
I have never been so excited about a new player. The closest was Aguero (and possibly Tevez), but I never thought we were getting a future balloon d'or winner until now.
Agreed
I just can't believe he is so good at his age.
The most exciting signing I can ever recall.
The rag media must be shiitting themselves.

Could you imagine if he played for the rags!!!

We'd already have a Sky Sports Special, a BT documentary and a Taiwanese dog food named after him.

Yup!
Sad the only thing the rag media are reporting is the alleged Aguero discontent.
The idiots haven't yet realised how deadly those two will be together. It will be the stuff of nightmares for the tossers!
