It's great that we played well below par yet still could've scored 5/6 goals

Swansea is fast becoming one of my favourite away trips.
Tough game but made tougher than it should have been due to the number of opportunities City spurned and a terrible little patch of play where we allowed them to equalise relatively quickly.
Pep changed things around a bit at HT and made us more effective but shoehorning KDB, Merlin and Gun Dog into same side will need some working on. Thought Nolito was a bit of a miss today.
The pressing is still a work in progress and we need to stop losing the ball as often before we get to the final third but this for me is a season of transition so the results Pep has achieved so far are continuing cause for optimism.
Had a great view of the penalty incident and thought their defender was lucky not to get a red card.
Sterling my MotM, his movement was excellent, you could see him swap channels in way Pep wants, and his goal was sublimely taken.
The team should take huge confidence into another big week.

No sending off and three match ban probably confirms it, thanks for the clarification, stupidity I thought he'd been a dirty c*nt, shows what I knowYep, you have to make the ref call for the TKO.

Its nice to have a bad game and still win 3-1.
Assume that is a tongue in cheek comment because no way was that a bad game.

Great win, full credit to swans for playing well and being the best side we played so far. For a couple of weeks i had a feeling we can do 10 out of 10 in pl and we are on course.
Lucky win bit will take any day. It could have gone either way at 1-1, and Silva messing about in his own Penalty Area just before they scored was very frustrating.
There were too many risk taken at the back then the ball just launched anyway. Fabianski was very odd for the third, "look at all this space, shoot into it".
