Instead of highlighting the defence, which in general has been decent over the first two games, try focusing on our desperate need for a top striker, particularly after watching Vipotnik last night.

Good overview although Galbraith played the whole game i seemed to recall.

It’s spelt “defense” by the American Mr Sumbler

Phil, "a simple tap-in at the far post" . . . . ??? I politely suggest you look again. It was a better finish than that.

Not wishing to nit-pick but: "After a mixed pre-season, a convincing win in the first competitive match of the campaign was exactly what Swansea City needed". What was last week's game then?

Agreed. His overall game and product was much better.
He made the right decisions and didn't run into blind alleys.

His pass to Inoussa was the right one, maybe it needed to be slightly further ahead of him so he didn't need to break stride (which gave the defender the chance to catch up and make the covering tackle) but it was the correct pass. There was one wild cross but in general his plays were right plays and executed correctly

We were far from competitive

Are we really looking to an AI Bot for reasoned judgements? And then arguing with it if we disagree.
