Swansea City vs Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[Dave]

Can't understand how we deserved a point. We were piss poor. The only real chances we had were in the injury time. We were second best to every ball.
I cannot believe Villa are fielding inferior team to Swansea year after year and this is seen as acceptable.

With all due respect what game were you watching?

The first half and then repeated for 45 minutes is my guess.

And even in the pretty dreadful first half we still had more meaningful shots than they did.

And I am guessing this wasn't an observation that he made just a short while ago

Second half we looked a different side and really deserved an equaliser.

OK. I apologize! My stream must have been different.

[Legion]

Each to their own. All opinions are valid and welcome.

Game is of small margins. on another day we would have won this 3 or 4 one. No worries we go again on Sunday.

[Tom_Mc9?]

Just great. Yet another season hoping for teams below us to lose instead of those above. Thanks, Paul.

There's no chance of us going down. The league table is pretty irrelevant to anybody who isn't in the moneybags four anymore, so at least Lambert has stopped serving up eye-bleedingly boring football and is attempting to make it a bit more palatable.

We're not safe yet, but I don't think we will be involved in a relegation battle. We will be above Everton again come Sunday evening.

Think Everton will beat Newcastle.

I think that's a good indication for the second half of the season actually. Everton have a better squad than we do but for whatever reason it isn't clicking for them and no one will convince me Newcastle have a better squad than we do so we should be reasonably close to and challenge those two for finishing positions imo.

We must contrive to cancel next season's Boxing Day fixture if Lambert is in charge - 3 defeats to date and we have yet to score under him.

[Toronto Villa]

The Europa league hasn't helped them. Which makes you wonder sometimes is it worth getting high enough in the table to get into it only for the following seasons league campaign to take a battering. The most nonsensical tournament format ever.

You could pick a 3 game patch out of any part of Lambores era and find we haven't scored to be fair.

There's always a chance and currently still a chance. Hopefully unlikely, though.

[Ron Manager]

Weimann had time to roll it across to Clark to slide in at the far post. Pretty basic really. He failed absymally and players of that standard hold us back from progressing upwards.

[SoccerHQ]

In my eyes Swansea are a no frills top 10 standard team as they usually have a goal in them and don't concede a huge amount apart from the odd game. They won't trouble the top 6 apart from the occasional match but there aren't 10 better team in this league than them.

As much as I hate to use the phrase "this is the level at which we aspire to be" I would like a season sooner or later where we do what Swansea do.

Never in danger of relegation, always in the top 10 and not too far off the top 6 and play decent football. That to me is the only way we can really progress and get people interested in us again rather than just finishing 15th year in year out and hoping some Oligarch or Middle East consortium will bail us out.

The league position isn't disastrous by any means and we have some winnable fixtures coming up in the next month so there's still an opportunity to do this in the second half of the season. I ain't holding my breath on that though.

We didn't get a shot on target first Half .
And we are still the only PL side after half a season who has failed to score after the 76 min mark.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'll take the 2 attempts we had over a couple of on target shots that trickle slowly to the keeper that he can throw his cap on.
