Okay, I know Bielsa is decisive but hope this doesn't affect Phillips confidence or get players scared to play as they'll be fished off for the odd mistake or yellow card od Baker will suffer the same fate. Secondly, we seem to need another CB ahead of another defensive midfielder. which apparently is the priority (could be that Bielsa believes retaining possession is more important). Thirdly, I hope Pontus wasn't having a sulk because he would have started if he was here. Lastly I think we are also fortunate that Potter likes to retain possessions beyond all else as well, the amount of times they turned backwards when they had the chance to break, maybe lacking in confidence. Personally I'd take the point now and move on. Drinking and ****ting myself for the 2nd half.
If we come out playing second half, we'll win it by 2. Best players first half McBurnie, Celina, Fer in the middle, Olsson on the left - all Swansea. No attacking wingback play till Shackleton's assist - disrupted by Cooper injury I think, and Phillips having an off day. Fair play to Bielsa for taking him off though, side before self. Go on and win it lads, MOT!
Think that could change second half,now Bielsa has worked out what swansea are about,he will now counter it.
Davy, just think he couldn't risk bringing him down when on a yellow. Surprised someone else didn't take the tactical foul near the halfway line. Alioski being bullied out of it, I'd be tempted to stick Harrison on
