Swansea V City post match thread

Yeah it is, I just don't see what purpose it serves.

Maybe he's a close confidant to Pep and he wants him there. You'd think with your username you might understand. Not sure what the big deal is.

Except no one said it's a big deal

Just watched it. Should have scored 5. But iffy first half with some sloppy passing. Battered them second half and should have scored more from some very good positions.
Looked like gundogan was closer to dinho first half and kdb was inside a lot more. Looked unbalanced. Second half we went to the normal midfield shape with silva wider and kdb/gundogan central and we were much better.

If Raheem could kick a ball properly he would have scored 3 today. Other than his shooting he was excellent.

Too right.
Having seen the incident a couple of times now, can somebody tell me why Van der Hoorn wasn't sent off? The ref clearly saw it so why no red card? It was a shocking deliberate elbow and it really could have broken Kev's jaw. A horrible piece of play that was totally unnecessary.
Anyone who calls that 'soft' has to have a pathological hatred of City.

I'm far from having a pathological hatred for City mate. But the penalty was as debatable as the one the scum claimed. Not saying it was soft. It was debateble. And the defender made that happen.

Other than that we deserved to win the game. It was not a Pep like win and the subs could easiy have been Pellegrini's. Still wondering if there was a MOTM. I can't think of one tbh.

Infuriating! Sky's summation of the van der hoorn strike on KdB... 'not sure it was a pen?????' WTF? What was the difference between van der hoorns face strike on Kev and Sergios hand to face that caused the Sky witch hunt to get Kun banned???? The agenda hasn't gone away IMO

Matt Holland said it was a soft pen as well.

It seems that you're allowed to elbow our players

There's not one game this season we haven't deserved to win - regardless of the odd shaky moment.

Very true. We've been better than every team we've played.

 

[portisheadblue]

Andrew Longmore, writing in the Sunday Times calls the penalty controversial ... says further KDB compounded a wretched afternoon by going off injured

So I guess he's not a fan of us either

 

[bluealf]

Yeah it is, I just don't see what purpose it serves.

I wonder if he likes watching us play ?

Saying that he should make his own way to the ground.

Probably.

The Telegraph, The Guardian, the Independent all changed their first published stories from "soft penalty" to "penalty" after their journalists saw the elbow on TV replays. It's as bad as Aguero's effort and in slow motion (as always) it looks a lot worse! The Elbow (just) misses Kev's face jand he gets a forearm smash. Quite deliberate too as there is a little glance before delivery.

Seems stamina become our issue. Hope the boys can handle it.
