alexf Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I found Swansea really boring. We basically let them play and they barely threatened. You read the stats and say swansea should have won comfortably but in the end we won comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Coleman is terrible. If you put Cisse up front for Swansea? f*** off man. Really like Rodgers mind. What did Rodgers say? Just that, they outplayed us but was beaten by two quality passes and two quality finishes. Which is fair for a post-match, as most managers are ignorant.

Guest Paxton Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Fair play lads, you have worked extremely hard. Ben Arfa looks gold dust for you, similar to the role that Sessegnon plays for us. Always getting involved with assisting a goal, and also nicking in and scoring a couple too. And Cisse definitely looks worth the price that you paid for him, could be a great bargain. Rade Prica looked good for us in his first few games man All I'm saying is let's ask the same question again in 12 months, to whether Cisse was worth the price that he commanded.

Jaypee Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Anyone knows when was the last time we had 56 points after 32 games? and where did we finish in that season? Closest is 54 in 96/97, finished 2nd with 68 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Leon Britton is up there with the best passers in europe, the Xavi of the valleys. Hardly fucking surprising when every pass goes two yards / backwards. If they won a penalty he'd probably lay the cunt off! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Pards' decision to play Cabs much higher up the pitch was canny good like He's been playing there since WBA hasn't he. That's his best position for me, gets more time on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest H09 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Never felt threatened, think maybe they had a 5 minute spell in the 2nd half but other than that they made me need Red Bull to make it through the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 They made 7 successful passes in our box (edge of the box more precise) out of a total 835 successful passes. I know I praise their style of play, but that is horrendous stats tbh. Still enjoy their philosophy though. Just didn´t come off for them today due to Super Cisse and Brain Pardew.

hallihg Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Papiss is in a class of his own.. But Jonas won some very crucial free kicks when Swansea were heaping the pressure. Thought he did very well today actually. Hatem was so threatening, and like someone said, a textbook away win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be trolling tbh. Cisse is already worth his price. He would even be worth the 9 mill if he had 3 goals and a couple of assists. In 2012 a premier league club would easily pay +20 million pounds for a 9 goals in 8 games striker with that finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Krul - 7: Comfortable when called upon Simpson - 7: No complaints here, thought he stood up well to two tricky wingers in Dyer and Sinclair Williamson - 8: Impervious in the air and decent on the ground as well. Has really stepped up to the plate these last three games, fair play Perch - 8: Him and Williamson didn't put a single foot wrong between them. Was impressed particularly by his distribution - often looks to play out from the back along the deck. Would be very harsh to drop him, even for Coloccini. Santon - 7: Good to see him get 90 minutes and a solid performance under the belt. Made a few crucial interceptions in the first half. Did enough today to warrant a start on Monday I think. Jonas - 7: Typically tireless display, played a key role in the opening goal. Tiote - 7: Was a strong display in the first half, shame to see him subbed. Hope he's ok for Bolton. Cabaye - 8: Thought Yohan was excellent today. Two superb assists, especially the first - fantastic first time pass. Ba - 5: Looked leggy and out of sorts and was rightly subbed by Pardew. Positive that he'll come good again though, was unlucky with that effort in the first half. Cisse - 9: Absolute quality. Put in a hell of a shift and all. Ben Arfa - 7: Not quite to the same standard as his last two performances but was still tidy and progressive in his general play with a couple of glimpses of quality. That meg on Taylor just reeked of class. Wasn't a pretty victory by any means but we got our tactics spot on today and largely limited Swansea to shooting from outside the area. It was a disciplined and extremely professional performance by the team and you can't ask for any more than that. On a side note, in spite of how boring Swansea were at times today, Rodgers really does deserve credit for implementing such a technically advanced ethos and style upon a fairly limited group of players and with a small budget. With a couple of sound offensive signings in the summer, I see no reason why they can't improve on this season's finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
