They also both look ungainly. Elegance is clearly a much valued trait for our fanbase.

we need to get in a new defensive coach, someone like darcey bussell

[RedReet]

Says he's won 55% of his aerial duels so far this season and 80% of his tackles.

[Maxiedge]

That pass from Sakho though from our kick off. **** me

[danperkins]

I actually think Skrtel is under rated on the ball. He's very conservative though - almost the opposite to Sakho in that regard. It's his tendency to defend so deep and make errors under high or bouncing balls that are his problems.

this is spot on.

It was Skrtel's fault

I actually tried to make a joke about us signing her but deleted it as I couldn't phase it right. Great minds and all that.

[danperkins]

It was a performance to build on. We dominated the game and apart from a few mins of madness we looked defensively solid. There was a lot of pace in the side, so quick to break up the pitch but when we lost the ball of Swansea were in possession we swarmed around them. It was brilliant to watch & we were actually difficult to play against last night. Swansea are a good side and will take points off a lot of the better sides. We made them look lethargic and cumbersome on the ball.

So many positives with a few minor defensive issues. Personally i'm hoping he keeps with the same team..maybe a few tweaks through the busy period. With Lucas & Henderson in there & the back 3 getting familiarised with the system.. hopefully we see a more balanced and solid side. I think Moreno & Manquillo wing backs is the way to go too. Can looks absolutely made for that role, thoroughly deserves to start vs Leicester.

Any news on the Shelvey elbow or the forearm smash from Sterling?

That f*cker Neville was daring the FA to take some sort of action.

[G]

Shelvey's been charged so we can expect Sterling to be aswell. Back to a playing with Balotelli up top for a few games.

Raheem Sterling to face no action from FA over clash with Swansea's Federico Fernandez

[Chris]

Yesss! Is right!!

Would love him to get a double hattrick v Leicester on the day Utd get iced by Stoke.

[G]

Great news, mad though. They said they didn't see the shelvey one even though you could clearly see the ref looking straight at it. They said they did see the sterling one so the FA couldn't take action even if they wanted to.

FYP

FWIW, its probably one of those where the ref will either say he saw it and didn't feel it warranted anything, or he didn't see it but felt it wouldnt have warranted any mention in his report in any event.

Should have walked going by the rules though, so we got lucky with that one.

[Shaggy]

Absolute blag and a half that!

Same way the clown in the Newcastle game was looking straight at the Cisse elbow and done nothing.

They haven't a breeze.
