Swansea V City post match thread

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 think you may be rather exaggerating the severity of the contact mate. 'Shocking' it wasn't.

Except no one said it's a big deal

Well why bring it up then?

Arguably our poorest performance of the season and yet we still scored three and were relatively unscathed. The amount of quality in the squad will bail us out even if we're below par.

The fact we're winning games whilst being poor is ominous for the rest of the league, we keep saying this but if it all clicks we're gonna smash a big side 4 or 5 nil.

We are still not being ruthless enough when we get the opportunity. We are making chances, some which look easier to score than miss. If we are to go on be champions, we need to put these away. Something that no doubt will be in Peps mind too.
Good movement off the ball from everyone. Ilkay is a dream to watch, some if his passing and movement is amazing.

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.

Agreed.

Both on Wednesday and yesterday almost ever killer pass was a little short. I'm not making excuses for the players but maybe there was an issue with the pitch? I also noticed quite a few slipping, Sagna a prime example for the goal.

Probably not happy Darth Vaders place has been taken;-)

Why are people on this forum still finding supposed faults with our team?
We should have scored more, Bravo is incompetent, Silva shouldn't have started etc etc.
Manchester City are top of the league.
P6 W6. (P10 W10.) Pep is our manager. There are long periods in games where we play some wonderful football.
Where, once upon a time, when the opposition drew level, we would most likely fall apart and drop points, that isn't the case now.
FFS!
Get real, get behind the team and appreciate what we have and where we are going.

they over watered the pitch making it heavy and slow for the players of both teams but its a leveller and stops the speed of pass and sticks under your feet you just need to get it out with another touch and that's the killer in the style we move it around but like i said its for both teams and swansea are a good football playing team and played very well but lack that bit of magic we have

its that time of the year when teams will use a heavy pitch to slow the game down and pep and city will have to get use to playing away in the premier league when teams will use anything to get at us. water the pitch (water log). long grass. uneven hard pitch. sand just about everything they can get away with to stop us free flowing football
