Rodgers told the Swans official website after the game “I told the players after the game that we owe the supporters and ourselves a performance against Barnsley<\/p>\n
“We had brilliant support here again today. They’ve travelled a long way in the cold, snow and ice.<\/p>\n
“We want to give them a performance and result to be proud of on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
“I thought both sendings off were harsh, it spoilt what would have been a good game with 11 players each. I think the worst scenario would have been a booking.<\/p>\n
“Up to the sending-off I thought we looked reasonably comfortable. We started well and created a few early chances. If we had taken one of them it may have been a different story.<\/p>\n
“But three of the goals we conceded were disappointing, while the fourth (Taarabt) was fantastic.<\/p>\n
“He is a top player at this level. He has wonderful ability of Premier League quality. He’s got skill, pace and power and would have had a hat-trick but for a wonderful save from Dorus De Vries\u00a0at the end.<\/p>\n
“It wasn’t a good day for us, but with the games coming thick and fast we can’t dwell on it.<\/p>\n
“I said to the players before the game that win, lose or draw here today, we will have to go again because we’ve got two important home games coming up.<\/p>\n
“Then I said after the game in the dressing room that this time last season Blackpool lost 4-0 to Crystal Palace, but it turned out okay for them.<\/p>\n
“We’ve got to get this performance out of our system straight away and go again. The 4-0 scoreline was a bit harsh on us because we are much better than we are showing.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
