Too many quick to blame Meslier. Mistake by Strujik left us 2 against 3. Then Meslier is well placed for the shot. Bogle deflection means he has to make a late full stretch dive. To his credit he almost gets there. But certainly not his fault. Our defence was completely at fault.

Cause the club are deluded that Mes is this brilliant gk, but he isn't. Farke even said he's the best in the league. So why is his save percentage so poor then?

Didn't say he wasn't, just he looked to dive slowly if that's possible

Most of our players get into every other team in the division. And we have a lot of internationals, plus we pay maybe the highest wages and we also spent a lot of money on proven players.

Yeah Struijk and Rodon were herded for their first. Tanaka should do better

Mate, he had enough time to knock one out before saving that.

Away from home struggles continue

We are so afraid to take risks we struggle to create anything against any side well organised.

We play out from the back to keep the ball, Swansea have done it to get forward.

Different mentality.

They take risks, they play 1 touch fast passes despite the risks and it pays off, fair play.

We are creating nothing and Farke needs to fix, not just sit on the bench looking clueless till the 70th minute subs.

Yeah, why I'm not confident we will finish top 2. The away form is absolutely woeful too.

Not Mes's fault. Just a fluke goal

Having seen it again, totally agree.

2 shots on target two goals, says it all really but we haven’t don’t anywhere near enough either. Was often the same last year, teams around us don’t get great results and we fail to capitalise on it. Get gnonto and largie on at half time give em something to think about.

What a comedy of errors, Swansea happy to attack on the break & put our defenders under pressure when we’re fannying around at the back. Meslier was saving the 2nd but it took a deflection off Bogle.

Does Piroe start the second half? Not done much so far, conditions may not suit.

Conceded two horrible goals.

We are not that good at the back as the stats suggest.

Quality of our crosses very suspect
Lots of opportunity… poor delivery
