Match Day Thread Swansea City 2 v. 0 Leicester City

Agreed.

 

Would have kept lorente on for holding up

 

Cork and Fer have bullied Leicesters midfield today.

 

Not sure. He'd taken a few knocks second half. Looked a little tired too.

 

Jack Cork has been immense today.

 

Congratulations!

 

3 points, clean sheet and a comfortable performance.

Get in

 

Well a WIN, and a clean sheet!!!! Cannot complain about that, the most organised I've seen us, we look to be back to our best!.......................

 

Bastards. I was joking.

Fantastic crucial win and clean sheet to boot ! Still not got a full 90 mins intensity in them yet but getting better, safety beconning at last . 85%.

 

The Table looks much healthier now and we are in striking range of the Saints,Burnley,Watford and Bournemouth for a top half of the table finish....Who says football is not a funny old game..

 

Well done lads ... first half display deserved it ... two moments of quality... Mawson's finish and Sigurdsson's pass to put Olsson in for the second. Rode your luck a bit in the second half but we'd have difficulty hitting a barn door with a banjo right now. Good luck for the rest of the season.

 

Fantastic win and an even better result as so far we're the only team in the bottom 6 to win this weekend.

If Bournemouth fail to win tomorrow, then we'll be the only team in the bottom 9 to win. Our goal difference is starting to look better too with others catching us up in that respect.

Clean sheet well earned today as we defended superbly well, never losing our shape all game. Amazing what a bit of hard work on the training field can do, well done Paul Clement and co.

 

Our next five games are against

Chelsea
then
Burnley(H),
HULL(A),
Bournemouth(A),
Middlesbrough(H)

The impossible is fast becoming very possible.

 

Very good tactically. Two bits of quality turned it for us but as Fosse says it was a well deserved win. I think the Foxes are in big, big trouble.

 

I know the Fox's have a sense of loyalty for their manager but if they don't get someone to replace him now then I cant see them staying up TBH.....I was rooting for them last season and it was a remarkable achievement but to be like they are today with just one player sold then it don't make sense....They need a new manager and sooner than later imo...

 

“You’re f***ing s**t, you’re f***ing ****”....sang the Swans fans at the final whistle and never has that song been more true.

From dominating the Premier League last season Leicester have been reduced to a mere shadow of their glorious team. On a day when the result was everything, the match was played in a strange tempo and atmosphere. Like a game of chess behind closed doors.

The Swans dominated without being brilliant and went into half time with a two goal lead.

The second half saw the Swans sit back and for once the tactics worked because Clement has created a brick wall. There was no need to chase a third as Leicester were comfortably held at bay.

A glorious result for the Swans as we climb two places up the table. There’s still a lot of work to be done, but Clement is taking us in the right direction.

As for Leicester, they will always have that PL title, but less than eight months after winning it they looked a shambles on and off the pitch with their fans not even taking the full ticket allocation.

 

I would have been disappointed if we hadn't won today. Just didn't want to say it before the game.

Can we possibly sneak something at Chelsea? Slap. No, mustn't get too confident.

 

Yes, but I think they have enough quality, they just need 1 win, and their confidence will come flooding back, they need to sort their midfield out though, too easily controlled today, Fer was having a party as was Cork...................

 

We always give Chelsea a good game, but the run of games after, is mouth watering, really need to put some distance between us and the bottom 3, time to stuff hull and Burnley to put the record right as well................
