The city players were sharper of mind and thought, the difference was in the anticipation and reaction to loose balls and second balls

And that they are incredibly talented!!!

 

[Swans Jack]

To be fair we been rubbish. Man City second string aren’t amazing and another crappy ref but we deserved nothing from this game.

Get a grip. A serial winner in pep and up there as one of best team in the world. We have a manager in his first season with players who are new to the league and squad and a whole lot more. We did well.

 

[Jack2jack]

Obviously disappointed, but great effort from the boys tonight and we move on.
Goodnight all.

Technical ability aside there is no point in having all the skill if you don't have the anticipation and footballing intelligence to be in a position to apply it

I hope that the Swans players will have taken this as a chance to learn from a team that ultimately we want to emulate in how we play and attack the full backs

 

[Ronald Parp]

Very harsh that
Even the city second string costs well over ten times our whole squad let alone the starting eleven

Nothing harsh about it. We weren’t very good and they had all the ball without having to work for it. It’s just a measure of where we are, no need to get sensitive about it.

I hope the youngsters on half term at the stadium enjoyed that enough to nag their parents to take them again soon.

You could argue we brought the style to the Premier League before Pep. And that's not far from truth. We may not play like them or be as good but we certainly brought the style to the Premier league. Forgotten by alot of supporters.

We’ll have to draw a big club in the FA cup for that to gappen

 

[Ronald Parp]

Agreed. Ridiculous comment to make. Saying we was rubbish. We did well considering everything.

I’m not being overly critical or emotional here, I don’t really care and didn’t expect much but anyone watching that who is not a swans fan will see we were pretty rubbish.

Spot on.
No zip, no midfield presence, no nothing

We are now less than Vanilla, we are now a washed out blanched blancmange, ffs.

How was we rubbish? I just don't get it. Everyone has there own opinions but we was far from rubbish.

 

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

We haven't seen a lot of him, but I've a suspicion that Casey might be the best centre-half at the club, which puts us in an awkward position given we have the club captain and a major summer signing (whose been good) taking up those 2 positions ahead of him, so not sure who we'd drop to accommodate Casey, although we would likely benefit from doing so.

Not me who needs to get a grip. You’re being emotional. I’ll let it pass.

 

[Copamundial]

Widell, and Casey the plus points from tonight but I have to say I’m bitterly disappointed with the performances of Inoussa and Benson when he came on….oh and don’t get me started on Fulton.
