Yeah maybe that unsighted him but he still looked slow to react to it. He did make a great save to be fair to him, but we're kidding ourselves if we think he's the answer. He's just the best of two pretty poor options.Willy got screened, mate. Don't know if it was offside/interfering with play (I don't think so and few get that call anyway) but I don't totally bame him for that. Agree that Stones' indecision allowed that shot away. We should give Willy some credit for a nice stop on their free kick. I agree that we need better, though.

Agree mate. Top notch again. His detractors are still having a whinge on the players thread though. Pep obviously rates him too.
Does a great job as a CB but as full back, he is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
Had a good game today though and thats all that matters.
You are dying for him to leave aren't you
Oh fuck off. I love him to bits.
Same as usual, not testing the keeper enough whilst we're dominating. The first half was a bit ridiculous but to only manage 3 shots on target from that is pretty poor IMO. We only managed 3 against West Ham as well, we just happened to score them all.
The front 3 all played well, although I felt Sane's final ball could have been better. Silva was fantastic and I like how he and De Bruyne can drift out wide if Sane or Sterling decide to cut inside.

Motm goes to Jesus, and Kolarov comes 2nd with Sane 3rd
Pep needs to improve our corners

Bet you didn't moan when the so called greedy bastard took it past the QPR defender to finished like no one else would of at that period of the game and won us the leagueGJ can finish as neat as Kun but GJ has one eye on goal and another for passing. Kun has his two eyes on goal. There are many beautiful passes in two games more than Kun in 6 years.
I think Pep will try two up front next game. Can't wait to see.

Both of them up front would be great, drop Sterling to the bench.GJ can finish as neat as Kun but GJ has one eye on goal and another for passing. Kun has his two eyes on goal. There are many beautiful passes in two games more than Kun in 6 years.

That was a mixed bag. Excellent 1st half, but didn't get the vital 2nd, and inevitably we dipped in the 2nd half. I thought Sane,Silva and Jesus were good. Sterling and De Bruyne were quiet. I thought Kolarov was excellent too. The left-sided centre back role really suits his game.
On the debit side no Kompany. I really don't get why he is not starting now.

I have seen literally dozens of 'the next great thing' strikers in the PL - it's way too early to start dismissing Aguero and proclaiming a new king.
He's 3 games in and started off very well - that's it.

And breath! First half we were brilliant if sometimes a little slow moving the ball forward but you sensed at only 1-0 Swansea would gain heart and start to have a go and that is exactly what happened. At times we seemed to be trying to be too clever it was that easy instead of getting another couple of goals and then showboating. The problem is with that back four you always feel is going to gift and/or concede a goal and that is exactly what happened.
Clichy is abysmal and as soon as he went in for that tackle for the goal you knew he would lose it. Willy looked like he should have done better with the goal but he did make a great save from the free kick.
It was so obvious we had lost our way in the second half that the changes needed to be made earlier, it seems a frustrating trait from Pep.
Once again the ref and linesman give us nothing as usual, something really needs to be done about it, it is almost every single week now. opposition players getting away with foul after foul, slowing our play down and kicking lumps off our players into the bargain, then the first one we do is a booking. To rub salt in the wounds we are denied...again...a clear penalty and a booking for our pains!! No way the linesman could say that was a dive it was too quick. If he wasn't sure it was a penalty how the hell could he be so sure it was a dive?
Jesus looks like some player, hard to believe he is settling into a new club and country and is only 19!
The title has gone this season if we cement a top three/four place, win the cup and get to the semi's of the champions league it will have been a success, with Pep settling in and trying to rebuild the squad. Onwards and upwards hopefully!

But it's not 10mins they're saving. It really could be hours! I've never left early. But have absolutely no problem with those that do. They have their reasons, but it's not for us to deem wether those reasons are justified or not. My only 'gripe' is if there is loads leaving on mass, having to make way for them to get pass just as something important is happening on the pitch. Hey ho we won!i dont understand why threads about people leaving early are being locked. 1-1 with ten minutes to go and people are leaving, its just bizarre. unless you have a genuine reason ( which most dont) then why ? you miss great goals like today or last minutes winners, to save ten minutes on a journey.

I thought Kolarov was excellent too. The left-sided centre back role really suits his game.
He gets an excellent plus off me because of the amount of times he had to cover our so called left back (That my mum could walk past with some f*cking ease).

How Clichy keeps getting picked is beyond me. There must be a better option. Even bringing Willy Donachie out of retirement would be better than him.

Fair to say it is just 3 games for GJ. Let see more of him.
I have different view because I have watched him play every games full matches for 6 months. I have no doubt on my mind.

Made a meal of that one but never gave up well done!!... Great strikers instinct for the goal in added would've been devo'd if that was a draw..
Thought Sterling had a good claim for a pen at first and thought the ref/lino was taking the Piss but on further inspection he was to theatrical going to ground and it was a good call in the end. Pity big nose didn't get a yellow for the same thing against Hull different rules for different teams thus proves it...
