Swansea (QF) Post Match thread

[Blue Theatre]

This "City were so lucky to win that game" from BT etc, is a gross exaggeration:

Shots: Swansea 5-22 City
Corners: Swansea 1-13 City

And Ederson didn't make a save. Again.

A few red stripes and 3-4 episodes awaits.

Enjoy (:

Laid up with a virus that’s knocked me for 6, spent most of the day trying to stop the house been flooded, this game made me feel like shit up until that 3rd went in, now back to bed, City killing people off for years.

Great character shown by your team today, I thought Bernardo was fantastic again, and could be player of the season.....

Congratulations

Pep Guardiola’s response to Sergio Aguero’s winning goal coming from an offside position: “All around Europe there is VAR. Here there is not. I don’t like to win in that way. I am sorry.”

If anyone knows Hartson lives, you might do all right minded blues a favour and nip round to his gaff sometime tomorrow. I'd hate to think he might do anything, er, silly after those two absolutely scandalous decisions tonight.

 

[The perfect fumble]

They're weeping in Norway....

That was absolutely awful from Marriner. He's got to be on the bung there and should be investigated. That was undescribably bad. You can understand one mistake but gifting them 2 goals? Horrible stuff.

If we go through I hope we draw City next.

The cnuts should be out.

Feck off City...that's all!

It's bloody unfair!

Swansea were robbed. If we beat Wolves we play City in the semis you watch

It's blatantly obvious that the referree was corrupt. There should be criminal prosecution

Feck off City ........and when you get there, feck off again

Its hard to watch city anymore without constantly thinking theres a fix going on to gift them the quad.

Are there still people thinking FA is not corrupt? 99% of these "mistakes" seem to happen in favour of 2 clubs in particular. City and Liverpool. Liverpool scored like 1/4 goals from offside, not a coincidence. I can bet in 10 years or so FA emails or something will be leaked as well, it's a matter of time.

Whatever, world is full of coincidences and City clearly buying their way to FA cup is one of them

So will Sterling get reprimanded by the FA for the penalty?

city FA Cup win will be tainted by this. if it happens. The scandal of liberty stadium.

Agree he has to impress when he’s given the opportunity but some players take a few games to get back into the swing of things he hasn’t played all year. Hopefully he goes away with England gets some games gets himself match fit and upto the standard we require as that wasn’t it today.

He proved last season he can be a very competent option at lb, it’s not ideal, he has limitations there and shouldn’t be kept primarily as a left back option, I’d look at it more as an emergency option and a bonus. I do believe he is a better option as a holding midfielder than gundogan though who is utterly useless in that position when out of possession as shown today. as much as the first goal was Delphs fault, the second goal was gundogans.

He's never fit though, is he ? He can't help it I know but he's so injury prone he's always so far off the pace when he comes back. He nearly cost us again today. At least Gundogan has made significant contributions in games this season. Delph has contributed nothing this season. The only reason he played today is that Mendy's permanent absence means we can't expect ZInc to start every game.

Didn't think Mahrez played that badly. Don't think Sterling did any better and he's started to hold on to the ball too long.
Think Mahrez maybe needs a few games to get his confidence back, but I doubt he will get the opportunity.
We need the Kev of last season to get the speed back in our break, Gundogan definitely too slow.
As for the penalty the defender clearly pushed Sterling which unbalanced him.
Felt sorry for Jesus as I thought he did some good work but nothing came off.
Swansea showed skill in the first half and got all the luck. We showed our character to come back. Sergio fantastic goal.
Good to get that bad luck out of the way, if we had had the luck we would have won 6-0 at least.

To summarise - Swansea were robbed of what would have been a very lucky ( but legitimate) giant killing act.
