Swansea City 0 - 1 Newcastle United - 10/09/17 (post-match reaction from p37)


Recommended Posts

Great performance overall.

 

Positives:

- Merino class on and off the ball

- Joselu general play positive

- CB's looked good

- Diame looked a footballer, a good one at that

 

Negatives:

- Manquillo is pish and Gamez doesn't look much better (but he does look better). Manquillo always lets his man slip.

- Hayden's first touch, in fact just Hayden on the ball. We looked so much better with Diame

- Perez needed to provide more fret

- Murphy didn't show anything at all.

Gamez did really well, defence looked good in general. Some of the quick passing going forwards is lovely to watch, can tell they're confident on the ball really.

 

Close game today between both sides similarly matched, but considering we were the away team you have to be very happy with that.

Great performance that, the perfect away performance, limited them to only one or two chances, countered well, and got the goal. Merino is going to be massive for us. Clark and Lacselles at the back dealt with everything that was asked of them. Gamez look composed and defensively very good. Joselu is great for our overall play, and Ritchie is just a battler. Hayden never really got into the game when in possession, and Atsu and Murphy never really did much. Cracking performance.

Thought we thoroughly deserved that tbh. Only some shite decision-making and that awesome save from Fabianski prevented it being a bit more comfortable.

Aye, Swansea were typical Swansea, all possession, fuck to show for it. Had their keeper not have made that world class save in the first half it would have been a more comfortable win. Likewise had the referee gave a decent performance and not given everything to them then they would have been shown up more.

Elliot 7 - saved what he had to well.

 

Manquillo 5 - Danny Simpson esque in his backing off.

Clark 7 - lost his man when Mawson should've scored but decent aside.

Lascelles 8 - top work at both ends.

Gamez 6 - not tested that much.

 

Murphy 5 - struggled to get into it.

Hayden 6 - put himself about before tiring.

Merino 8 - class above and a bit of a cunt which is also endearing.

Ritchie 7 - grafted all day and some quality on the ball.

 

Ayoze 6 - couple of decent chances. Improved as game went on.

Joselu 7 - unlucky not to score and held the ball well.

 

Subs all get a 6.

Looked a bit toothless and first touch was abysmal to start but definitely grew into the game. While we didn't quite look threatening on the break we crafted a few chances.

 

Second half was a different proposition. Looked like we were going for the kill as the game was definitely there for the taking.

 

Really impressed overall. We are lacking, no doubt in quality in attack but on the defensive side we looked decent and the attack worked hard.

 

Ritchie and joselu were relentless.

Clark and lascelles were impressive

Merino is a fucking stud.

Get well soon rafa. Glad the half time Skype session worked but while i know you are working from home please wear trousers next time. Or don't if it has similar results every week.
