I think because of this being only 1-0, and us badly needing the three points, a lot of the nerves that people were feeling have given them a rather negative slant on the game.

Personally I think we were very, very good today, and the diamond worked well. I don't know what Puel fed them this morning but it was probably a box of weetabix each with red bull instead of milk. Every player played well in my opinion. Yes, a few donkey moments, but that's it. Our passing was simply sublime to be honest. Total control of the game for 90 minutes. Swansea had a few half chances but they are a decent attacking team when they want to be.

That has left me feeling very positive. Puel has been top notch this week, Excellent team selections and substitutes. Well done that man.
 
Oh and one final point, Van Dijk is by far our best player. I hope we keep hold of him next year at least.

Yeah I know we say it every game but the guy really is a class act.

I think we'll struggle to keep hold of him tbh.
 
First time I've seen this seasons team on Serbian TV - not gonna run down anyone. Tadic and Redmond great (apart from the miss) Charlie should be wrapped in cotton wool and brought on after 60 mins every game. Some great passes forward from Davis and VVD. Jose dealt excellently although outpaced by the Swansea sub LW (Montero?) Interesting cameo from Martina as RW
 
We didn't deserve anything from this game, and our manager only reacts to games rather than shaping them, he doesn't know his best formation or players, and has very poor strategy from the bench, subs are far too later, we are in for a struggle this season, you played a very poor Swansea, not that you need me to tell you that, but well done on the win, hope you have a good season, ours will be long and a hard struggle............<laugh>

I loved the part where Cuco Maradona left two Swansea players for dead in the corner.
