Swansea's football - as per other threads. Nuff said and if you look at their board they are slightly shocked at the poor display. Can't gloat too much as we've been pretty poor for most of the season until last few games. Onuoha (I think) - lucky to be on pitch after manhandling Graham to ground. Ref might have taken a last man decision? What's with Fergie's love in with Martinez?! QPR display excellent and, even more importantly, confidence is growing game by game. Discipline excellent!! Did wonder whether we should offer to start with 10 men just to save the ref the bother of getting the red card out! Brilliant conrol and discipline - even Diakite! 12th man - awesome. We must continue that at every home game. Some were commenting that Wigan's win took shine off ours. No way! Think where we would be if we had not beaten Liverpool and Arsenal and indeed Swansea last night! Room for hope and cautious optimism but I'm afraid there are still 5 games left and we may well not be safe until the last day! Valium for all
Add to this - we were starting to look like a teenage boy's bed, equally unable to keep a clean sheet.
Yes, compared to the titanic perfromances of Hill and Taiwo he did look like a relatively weak link in defence. He was regularly skinned by pace in the second half. Surprisingly, he now looks like the least effective of the Winter signings (although difficult to compare with Cisse as we have seen so little of him of course). It is noticeable isn't it. Perhaps there is already an understanding that Martinez will take over from Ferguson in the next few years.
