Planet Swans ArchivesWe should easily have gone in at half time on Saturday winning with a very strong penalty shout that should have been given and the much analysed through ball that saw Bafetimbi Gomis hesitate to great expense in front of goal.
The Swans now prepare to face Norwich on Saturday looking to secure a second straight away win and send them into yet another international break with the confidence higher than it has been.
It is easy to look on the negatives from Saturday but as Monk points out for the first 45 minutes it was one of the better displays that we have had this season and had we been more composed or got the rub of the green the result could have been so much different.
Monk said: รขโฌลDespite the result, the team performed well. We talked about playing as a team and getting back to our standards and with the ball I thought we were excellent.
รขโฌลSome of our movement and play was brilliant and much more like ourselves and thatรขโฌโขs what we have to take from the game.
รขโฌลIt was probably the best we have played since August and thatรขโฌโขs what made the result hard to take because, despite so many positives, everyone will focus on the result.
“We have to focus on the positives but also making sure we put right the mistakes we made.
“We can’t afford sloppy or poor goals against us at this level but the positive things are that is we keep playing football like that against teams who are around us, we will do well.”
