Swansea City 0 - 2 Newcastle United - 06/04/12 - post-match reaction from pg 39


Recommended Posts

Was anyone else absolutely shitting themselves when Sigurðsson got the ball, btw? He really is a brilliant player and was their only threat

 

Wouldn't say he's brilliant but he's got a good shot on him.

Chris Coleman can f*** right off, doesn't want to give us any credit whatsoever. Prick.

 

Total bell end. Did we knock him back at some point?

Swansea keep the ball excellently, however, they appear to lack that cutting edge. First half they were basically passing it around the back four the majority of the time. It changed for a bit when Tiote went off and they looked threatening for 20 mins or so. Second goal killed the game dead. We are clinical in front of goal at the moment.

 

They keep the ball loads but barely threaten. For all the plaudits, they'll be found out sooner or later.

Krul deserves more than a 6. So calm, so solid once more. Made some good saves from their corners and from the long shots, too.

FWIW, Swansea have been brilliant this season. Rodgers has done phenomenally well there.

 

Tbh, while I agree he's done well, I'd question his stubbornness with how he has them playing. Yes, carpet football is nice to watch but you looked comfortable today. They have no plan B and plan A, just recently, has consistently not been working. They're a good side but not good enough to just cut through teams constantly. Obviously, looks great when it does work.

Krul - 6. Not much to do. More crap kicking.

 

Simpson - 6. Liability at times, particularly when Sinclair came on, but did alright on the whole.

Williamson - 8. Strong performance.

Perch - 8. Ditto. Times his tackles perfectly.

Santon - 7. Good game; vast improvement on Arsenal. Positioning was loads better.

 

Cabaye - 8. Great vision, great tenacity, great chasing down. One of his best of the season imo.

Tiote - 7. Thought he was good in the first half. Missed him at the start of the second.

Jonas - 5. Thought he held onto the ball too long and his passing was wayward. Not one of his best.

 

Ba - 4. Rubbish. Looks knackered/pissed off.

Cisse - 9. Absolutely sublime performance. He's almost as good a left-back as he is a finisher. That second goal - wow.

Ben Arfa - 7. Important player today. Provided relief for when we finally got possession. Dare say we wouldn't have won without him.

 

Pards - 9. Shouldn't have taken Cabaye off, but other than that, exemplary.

Never! Had to make a fair few saves like.
