Swansea (a) post match thread

[Fosterbloke]

So if we win the next two games we are in 3rd place right? Maybe even second!

Only if Arsenal draw the other game.

We'd be on 60 points
Man Utd on 59 points (they'll beat Aston Villa)
Arsenal on 58 points (away to Newcastle, can't see them drawing)

Man Utd have Chelsea and Man City coming up too!

Arsenal have an easier time with Burnley but play Chelsea at end of April

Monday night banana skin avoided.

Odd how Swansea couldn't keep up that pressure.

Time to derail United's season completely.

****ing hell, we're on a great run. That match was ****e though, not that it matters of course!

[BootRoom]

After the weekend results it was vital to get the win no matter how it was achieved.

They did but we changed out shape and they didn't know where to press as we overloaded them in the center and stretched the wide areas - especially on the right side.

3-4-3 vs 3-4-3 in the first half and they were all over us as man for man they had us figured. We changed to a diamond in the second half and that helped as we had a spare man in the middle.

Good point - there was lots of pressure (on the team and manager) in that game. Fair play to BR for changing things (formation) at half time.

We were ****e.

But winning ****e..!

[RedReet]

Sakho won as many tackles as Skrtel, Can, Williams and Amat put together.

9 won out of 9.

[Fosterbloke]

We're the only team on the BBC table to not have any red blocks in their form guide

Two ****ty draws, Leicester and Everton. Cunts.

Great 3 points, clean sheet, no injuries or suspensions. That's all that matters.

You can't play good every week so when you don't, you need to dig in and grind out a victory. We did it.

[Fosterbloke]

Mig is now joint top for PL clean sheets but has a better percentage as he's only played 26 games this season

God, I really hope whoever scores our first goal next week runs up and knocks Rooney out for their celebration.

[Phil]

anyone got a link to the goal?

[DannyMan2006]

I'd just like to add that I do expect us to beat them. If we turn up. Not like we did in that first half.

Weren't that we didn't turn up, we got frustrated because they did a job on us.

Second half we made a tactical switch and got on top. The goal was coming for us, it was fortunate but we had plenty of time after that had we not scored.

And whilst the saves Mig made were decent, they weren't jaw dropping. We didn't really look like conceding. Tonight was So'ton all over again if you like.

[Shaggy]

Well I thought that was absolutely fantastic in its own way.

Finally met a team who totally busted our 3-4-2-1, killed it stone dead. We we poor but they made us poor, they filled every space and Sakho and co had no one to pass to, they pinned us back and we had no answer - until we matched them up. So satisfying to see Brendan make such a decisive and match-winning change, his game management lately has been brilliant. We can't be amazing all the time. Mignolet kept us in it first half and we got in the dressing room and sorted it out. I think that's a great thing. The goal celebration was amazing too. This lot are a proper set of lads with a proper manager
