Swansea City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[JUAN PABLO]

Don't agree at all I thought Jenas did pretty well.

What did he do then?

I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that he is still getting over his injury, but all he seemed to do for most of his match time was walk around in midfield, tell Warnock that he thought the challenge was fair and dummy the ball in the box. Bannan had probably twice as many touches on the ball and was twice as dangerous then Jenas iin half the time on the pitch. For all Heskeys poorness, Swansea had the best chances in the second half with Jenas letting them run past him.

I thought he did a great thru ball to bent ( offside but it wasnt ) . which Is more than Heskey has done in 4 games

I didn't see much, if any, getting in amongst them in the first half. We stood off them as much as we did Spurs until the second half.

Oh well that's the last point till after Christmas.

Nothing positive - that was dire - two totally unimaginitive teams.   

[villadelph]

we might not get a point for a long time. today had to be three points and our inept ability to create anything bites us in the ass. we have no quality going forward, none. fucking swansea! we've got to be having a laugh accepting a point.

my first time saying this, and I know we're 8th, but McLeish is not fit for this club.

[Hadley83]

Thought we were a lot better second half but it still wasn't very good. With the exception of Given and Collins who played well in horrible circumstances, and Gabby and Herd who both had decent games.

A massive difference from watching the U19'S in the week, who play with passion, flair and creativity.

I thought it would be a draw and thought the performance would be poor.  Right on both counts.

[Dave Clark Five]

I've been pretty negative on here today, and - having watched the game in full - I stand by it. Not because we didn't win. Not because we didn't create chances. Not because we showed little / no effort.
I have increasingly become negative because of the way that we approach and set up for the game. We strong-armed a neat footballing side; we hoofed the  ball
needlessly; we look and play ugly, for the most part.

We have the players to play attractive, goalscoring football - we choose not to use
them effectively.

I plead for the defence of criticism.

I agree with your constructive criticism but get sick of the vultures who are making a meal of every slip we make. The players must take on some of the blame. It is not all the manager's fault, even though the lynch mob seem to think it is.

Manu are the only team to win there this season, it's just blind arrogance to make statements like that.

In the first half we picked up three yellow cards and Given didn't have a shot to save.

No, it's not. It's fucking Swansea City.

Swansea are a decent enough team and no pushover as they proved at anfield, not many teams will get 3 points at the liberty this season.

Swearing like a toddler after too much Haribo doesn't alter the point, Manu are the only away team to win at Swansea this season.

And? Hutton and Delph would pick up cards in an empty room.

After 25 mins Swansea had had 75 percent possession. We sat back and let them play. In the second half we stopped doing this and it got much better.
