Brendan – A Wonderful Day For The Players

Guess who was the happiest man in Swansea after watching his side outpass the previous pass masters of the Premier League

โ€œIt was a wonderful performance and itโ€™s a wonderful victory for us,โ€ Rodgers purred.

โ€œWe came up against a top club with a world-class manager, so to perform how we did and come out with the win makes it an incredible day for us.

โ€œItโ€™s a wonderful day for the players, and itโ€™s a wonderful day for the people of this city.

โ€œI wouldnโ€™t like to say itโ€™s the best win of my reign, because there have been many good victories which all bring different emotions.

โ€œBut for sure itโ€™s the biggest scalp weโ€™ve taken. When you beat a top club like Arsenal, it adds another dimension for the supporters especially.

โ€œI thought it was a great day for British players,โ€ he added. โ€œI have been fortunate in my career to work with British and European players, and people talk about the British lads not having the technical quality you need to play good football.

โ€œBut we had seven players out there who have played in the Championship or lower, and they proved that British lads can play.

โ€œThe players have performed for me on a consistent basis throughout this season. The level of performance has been there and, more often than not, the result has been there as well.

โ€œSometimes we havenโ€™t got the results, but the confidence to play is always there.

โ€œI am sure Fabio Capello will have been surprised about the level we play at,โ€ Rodgers said.

โ€œI thought the front three were a massive threat all afternoon, and theyโ€™ve probably given him something to think about.”
