Swansea 1-3 LCFC, post match thread

[Phil Mitchell]

[Nolucklcfc]

Good character shown there after a shocker of a penalty decision 

[Mike Oxlong]

Not complaining about the result of course but worried about our strike force over the season

Carranza and Daka should only be allowed to play the game if the ball has bells in it 

[Tuna]

 I thought it was a 3-1 win!

[WigstonWanderer]

Some dodgy patches, but solid win. JJ looks a useful addition.

[The Doctor]

someone turned off the moment Faes gave away that penalty

It was but he shouldnt of been diving in, giving him that decision anyway

[Tuna]

Kick ass win and great to go into the next international break on a high!

[Dahnsouff]

 

Good stuff, much needed, plenty of urgency for most of the game.

 

[ParkerPen]

good second half against a decent team

We played well. Its a miracle

[HoChiMinhFOX]

Jordan James is a classy player.

[kingfox]

Look what happens when you don’t bring on Oliver Skipp.

[5waller5]

Vast improvement.
 

Enjoyed that for the first time in a while

[Bezzanator89]

Debatable pen for sure, and a slight wobble, but thoroughly deserved the three points,  coupled with a couple of absolute belters. 👏 

 

Great way to break that run of successive draws.

[Dan]

Good result. Flattered us a bit imo, but good result.

[CH1_Fox]

Reaction to the equalizer (an awful decision) was quality. That was a good performance 

[Vowels]

Bringing Carranza on is the 2025 version of bringing on the kids, chanting EASY EASY EASY, full-backs juggling the ball, crowd OLE'ing etc.

 

We've absolutely mugged them off by letting him have 10 minutes.

****ing international break

[Noahfence]

I’m sorry for not having faith in you from outside the box Abdul 

[Vowels]

@hfaes WOUT owes the rest of the defenders their clean sheet bonus.

[Crinklyfox]

They put a shift in.  They came good despite a terrible refereeing decision.  Goals were class.  It's a long way from perfect but we're improving.

[cityfanlee23]

A clear improvement and positive steps today, but still utterly toothless as an attacking unit. Marti can hopefully address this because relying on magic every week is not a recipe for long term success. 
Under Enzo, we had constant overlaps on the left/right. 
Mavididi had overlaps from the LB and underlaps from KDH, 
Fatawu had overlaps from Ricardo or underlaps from Ndidi, which created space for either the winger, or dragged defenders wide creating space for Vardy/KDH. 
Under Marti, we don't seem to do that, meaning the strikers get absolutely zero service, and the wingers are pretty much exclusively cutting in and shooting as a means of chance creation. 
The Carranza miss is the sort of position I'd love to see us creating more often by creating space for the striker, albeit swansea had far more space behind them at that point as they were chasing the game, but we tend not to exploit central spaces when they are there. 

Big improvement this match, and the result was completely fair.

Probably our best 90 minute performance of the season. Just showing a few signs of improvement... if we've used that second half disaster against Wrexham as a lesson, then great. 

 

Team looks far more balanced with an actual striker and 10 in the side.
