Swansea City v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[Kennyb41]

If we were to meld the two of them together

That crossed my mind last night Ash.

That thought works across quite a few players.

[Kennyb41]

Can anyone see Leeds getting smashed 3-1 by the likes of Bristol City, or concede three goals in consecutive matches?

Do you mind kind sir, if i take this opportunity to ask you if you would please.....STFU !

[Kennyb41]

He didn’t really have any sort of pre-season, had all the traitors on strike etc and managed to keep us in touch until we could start putting the foot down.

He’s done a fantastic job all round for me.

I think i posted at the start 'If we can somehow just hang onto the coat tails of the top 6 until he gets it sorted, he might just have the time'

[Kennyb41]

Lovely to see Gnonto double his tally on the season. Only so much you can tell by watching highlights on a game not broadcast in the U.S., but both finishes looked so clean.

You probably missed the sitter that was criminal then, only the keeper to beat, and doesn't put it to either side of him, criminal for a forward.

[Kennyb41]

Missed an absolute sitter but then took his goals superbly. Loved his first, such an intelligent finish to put it where the keeper was least expecting it and not an easy finish.

I think as a team we miss the easier chances but take the harder ones.

Ain't that a fact.

Typical Farke style!

Very good in the first-half of the season, unstoppable in the final months.

[1964white]

Farke now coaching the Welsh national side as well.

Interesting that the Swans gaffer said they were set up to press. Homework done. Practice done. And then they all forgot. Who’d be a manager.

[Broad Ford]

No sign of nerves from a team in blistering form. 7 wins on the bounce, into second place and playing like Championship winners. Who would have thought Farke could create a team too good for the Championship? They really are that good.

Where’s Ian with everything is too nice on here.
Going too well.
Can’t remember the last time I saw an argument.

Let that Geronimo kid back on for an hour or so, he’ll soon sort that out.

Now that would be fun.

I'll put it to the mods.

Please don't

Please don't

Old Geronimo would still find a reason to moan & pass on negative thoughts.

[1964white]

Watching Leeds dominating games is similar to watching Manchester City in the Premier League.

Like Leeds. Citeh only have two clubs to concern them.

Just a wind up merchant Leon, revels in it.

After watching the replay of the match today.

Gnonto
Gnonto two goals & an assist, he strikes his shots with power.

As good as a new signing of late.

Summerville/Rutter
Both excellent again, running & passing Swansea into the ground.

Rodon/Ampadu
Rodon waving his arms & organising our defence when Joe & Amps went up field for a corner.

Rodon's sublime pass to Piroe to open up the Swansea defence for our second goal.

Ampadu got Firpo out of the mire a couple of times.

Rodon/Ampadu will concede fewer goals than any other CB partnership.

Not stopping crosses
Four players guilty of not stopping crosses, particularly Firpo.

Piroe
Played well, one of his better games, though the keeper Rushworth should have dealt better with his goal.

The way Swansea helped his game, even then their defence bypassed him easily, as the big man doesn't press with purpose.

I wish Joel would stay near the box instead of drifting into midfield.

Kamara/Gruev
Unlucky not to be in my MOTM six, they were so good & comfortable.

Gray
Archie's sublime pass for Gnonto's first goal.

Meslier
Distribution much improved last night.

Firpo
Junior is a conundrum, good & bad moments, he makes more errors than any other player in our squad.

[GreennWhite]

Didn't get to see the game but going by that short video Swansea looked woeful. How Summerville is given that goal is a joke

But congrats to the team, another clean sheet and 4 goals scored away from home, not to be sniffed at. Puts a little bit more pressure on Southampton and that's not a bad thing.
