Going forward wasn't great no, similar to the qpr game really, defence was excellent today though, unbeaten in 3 and 6 goals in 3 games with 7 points from 9. Pretty good I would say
Take a look at Swansea's defensive record. They are the current form team in the PL and whilst not great a point is a point against reasonable quality opposition.
Overeation mate Didn't work today but Swansea were brilliant at keeping the ball, let's not forget our recent good form, weekend game much more winnable
I would say they're better than reasonable. not an excuse, as we were found out in the middle, again, but Swansea can't half move the ball about if you let em. Our problem was having the confidence to have a go and support both Sess and Fletch, both of whom had to drop deep to get the ball. Vaughan, Larsson, Gardner, Colback kept going sideways/backward most of the time....and that ain't gonna get you goals playing like that. whenever we did get forward nee ****er was runnning into the box. same old ****e tonight, and although we don't need just bods we badly need pressure on places. Tonight smacked of complacency, bar Sess, going forward. lots of work for Marty to do in that area still....Defensively pretty good though.

Although we don't need 'bods for the sakes of it' we badly need pressure on places. Rose and Catts will help, but...lots of work for Marty to do in that attacking/creative/running midfield area....Defensively pretty good though.
don't know what's gannin on with my pc tonight, but it keeps jumping when I try to post comments - hence the double blurb. I'm not pissed, honest!
Awful performance tonight, but decent result. 2 shots at goal (0 on target) in 90 mins of football is piss poor as the op suggests.
Good result for you, in terms of getting in Sissoko. could make all the difference to your season/survival. Pardew is such a cock though - did you see his quote on the Beeb ""I've had my eye on Moussa Sissoko for some time. I felt he could be good in this league and he showed a nice aperitif of what he can do." 'A nice aperitif of what he can do'. What a **** Pardeaux is. I hope you sack the twat or someone just knocks him out. I almost hate him more than the Mags.....
Tbf most of us would agree with you, he is utterly clueless when it comes to decision making during a game. Think he plays a game of twister and then whoever he is pointing to after each turn he brings on. 'On you go Shola to shore up the midfield!'
