We need to score first, and preferably in the first half - if there's a choice
I heard a stat this weekend that they've scored 75% of their goals in the second half. If they score and take a lead in the first half, it's over.
Pandering towards the Asian market.
It's working. I know 4 other people who are watching this match now when they'd normally be out to dinner/doing something else. This will translate into bigger TV deals in the very near future.
Shame to see Cristiano being converted into a powerhouse center forward. He had much more to his game a few years ago but now he's just a striker. Ok, he's a pretty damn good one, but tapping in goals and converting chances in the penalty area means he's doing so much lesser than what he did for Man Utd.
We were all right in the first half. Ba and particularly Best gave their CBs a battering, but the second half was just a complete reversal where we really struggled to hold on to the ball.
The best case scenario is that they lose their next games to against Chelsea (a) and City (h). If they do, they'll probably be 4 or 6 points behind Arsenal, 7 or 9 points behind Spurs, 9 points behind Chelsea and at least 6 points behind us.
Jesus, Swansea have two pretty good chances. Reina saves the first one from Dyer, then he spills a tame shot from Dyer but follows it up by saving from Graham. Swansea are well on top now.
Swansea play some beautiful football, man. Liverpool have had more possession and they've had the better chances but whenever Swansea get into a rhythm with their passing, they are running rings around Liverpool.
Jesus, Swansea are playing some amazing football. Honestly, this is incredible to watch. The movement is superb, the passes are short and crisp and they're moving the ball around so well.
