Swansea City v Arsenal: Official Match Thread

Well, Laudrup has figured Bony isnt as well built as others to fill a a 4-6-0 .... thats I think he is playing.

 

Monk is either hurt or his number is up after Wed. Alfei makes the bench - good for him. A lot of fire power on the bench

 

As you know im not his biggest fan, but credit where its due, he has played well of late and has earned his starting spot, although personally would have gone with Leon.

 

fair play Swamp we cant complain about that finish and you deserved the 3 points - the Premier is very open this time round but Arsenal look like one of the quality sides, we are going to have to work very hard and be on top of our game to get something today - just hope we dont sit back and take the initiative right from the start. UP THE SWANS!

 

Agreed he has been playin well.

 

Hurt - I bet he's livid.

 

Personally I would've started with Bony instead of de Guzman, but the latter isn't exactly our worst player. Also we need Hernandez back, I reckon this will be his breakthrough season and I'd rather he starts at the moment than Dyer who is just too inconsistent.

Not confident about tonight - Arsenal look unbeatable at the moment.

 

somebody wanted someone to try from 30 yards - JJ

 

Good start so far

 

Brilliant tackle from Chico. Struggling a bit at the mo.

 

That should have been a yellow for over rated Wiltshire.

 

Amat doing well so far. Hope I haven't jinxed him. Shelvey is on fire. Superb so far.

 

get so nervous watching AAAAAAAAAA JUST OUT

 

shelvey amazing so far

 

that was close

 

Really happy with the 1st half. Amat been playing really well. Looks like we have that 3rd quality CB after all

 

This has been a good match, both defences have been solid and midfield has been of great quality for both sides. I wouldn't say either teams attackers have been disappointing, it just seems that this game is the definition of two teams cancelling each other out.

Despite the lowest goal attempts it has on the majority been a very well played out game from both Arsenal and Swansea.

 

Amat and Chico are playing like they have been alongside each other for years.

Great first half. Arsenal are dangerous of course; but jeez we've owned possession and played comfortably within ourselves. If we can find another gear we can win this game..

 

We are getting plenty of space and opportunity out wide but our crossing has been awful. Better next have please.

Game is crying out for Pozuello.

 

I think the spice boy in the sky sports studio has been watching a different game to us
Arsenal are there for the taking tonight.
