Downing Hails Vorm Performance

Stewart Downing was the latest name to add plaudits to the performance of Michel Vorm on Saturday

Downing said after the 0-0 draw “I think the goalkeeper has probably been their best player this season, which shows how well he’s done

“It was a brilliant save from Glen Johnson’s shot.

“It was disappointing to draw. We had chances and I’m not sure if Dirk Kuyt’s goal was offside or not. If Andy Carroll had scored with that early chance, it may have been a different game. Swansea might have had to change the way they played.

“Probably the pleasing thing for the manager and the team is that we are creating chances. But we’re not putting them away.

“We’ll just have to keep working on it and keep getting ourselves in the right positions and hopefully they’ll turn into goals soon.

“Swansea are a good footballing team and they’ve played well this season, but with no disrespect to them we need to be winning games like that at home if we want to get to where we want to be.”
