Swansea

[doug_mac]

they really are a great little side who play lovely football

 

simple football, pass and move and every man on the ball always has a few options. i didnt see them play in the championship and i just assumed they would be

 

cannon fodder for everybody in the prem.but every time i have seen them play i have been hugely impressed with them and for me they are the most attractive team

 

to watch in the league.no way they will be relegated and the big challenge for them will be to hang on to their manager and their best players. arsenal were given a football

 

lesson today but they do that to everybody at the liberty stadium. man city and man utd and spurs are the top 3 in the league but i would rather watch swansea than any of them

 

definitely my favourite team after LFC

[CarraLegend]

They are s***, play some decent football now and again though.

[Epic Swindle]

Played well today like.

[Grover]

I enjoy Swanseas style of play, its very much akin to Arsenal of 3-4 years ago.

Not structured correctly to be a haiku.

 

Sonnet, perhaps?

they've been really good this season and i hope they stay up. manager seems a decent sort as well.

Thought that myself a while back, like watching Arsenal in slow-motion

[cymrococh]

I wish people would stop comparing them to Blackpool.

 

It's a totally different style of football, Blackpool was all about 'just go for it!' Swans are all about keeping the ball and controlling the game.

 

F*cking punditry in this country just sees two teams trying different things and puts them in the same box. There really is no comparison to be made.

 

They are a very good team, will be interesting to see what happens now they have Sigurdsson and McEachran - would be a shame if Joe Allen is forced to make way for one of them.

 

I really don't want us to sign Scott Sinclair though, he's just not good enough.

Nathan Dyer looks decent.

Nathan Dyer looks decent.

Decent, but not good enough for us or any other top team.

 

Glad that he seems to have sorted his braids out though.

[Florist Cinema Pond Goal]

This is great.

Watching MOTD and I've only just realised their number 7 is Leon Britton - not Joe Allen! I wasn't paying any attention to Sky's commentary when it was on live!

 

Both very tidy players.

[Leo No.8]

This is great.

 

 

That is brilliant!

[libero]

That is brilliant!

 

John Terry???

I saw them play a fair bit last season, and they definitely played some of the best football in the Championship along with QPR. None of their players are really anything special nor do they have any stand-out individuals, but they are a great unit, just like last year. A lot of credit has to go to Rodgers for the way they play... tactically he's better than a few in the premiership for sure. Definitely better than Warnock, who struggled with a championship winning team this year... he always get's found out in the premiership.

[Chili Palmer]

I have family in Swansea and they put me off giving the team any credit.

interesting seeing MOTD2 focus on swansea's love of possession and playing triangles. and also that capello was in the stands watching.
