EstoniaTallinnRed Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Well I was wrong so far with my prediction, City are playing very well, hope they can keep it up for the second half, COYR's Quote Link to comment
Esmond Million's Bung Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Firstly I am surprised at how average Swansea look. We have have played some really neat football and look comfortable all over the pitch, especially in defence. But we need to take our chances. Eliasson looks dangerous but should have scored. Watkins going off seems like a blessing, ODowda looks far more threatening. I love Pack in his role as captain, he seems born to the job to me, just like the captain that we haven’t had for such a long time at the club. I cannot understand how McBurnie has not been booked, the referee has been overly lenient with him. Overall a very good half, I repeat we need to take our chances, we look a far better side than them. 2 2 Quote Link to comment
dazza247 Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Great first half. Don't really remember Swansea troubling us at all. We've forced the keeper into making saves from O Dowda, Weimann and Elliasson. Got to be the best we've seen so far from O Dowda this season so far. Weimann looking class. Dropping deep, spreading it out wide and then getting back into the box. Our left side has looked really strong. Eliasson has the beating of his man and putting in some very good crosses. Kelly unflustered and has had the better of their winger the whole half. Barely noticed Kalas suggesting that he's not had much to do. The Fin has made some decent claims of crosses. Let's hope the Purple and limes can keep it up second half Edited August 25, 2018 by dazza247 1 Quote Link to comment
Major Isewater Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 We should be Three up . Playing well . Great positive stuff . Getting the ball forward quickly, pressing in numbers , defending as a team. Keep it up for the second half . Special mention to the Red Army loud and proud. Ref , weak . Quote Link to comment
Gibbs Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 O'Dowda looks sharp - did a lot considering he's only been on 15 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment

Luxo Jr. Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 It's true that Eliasson should have scored, but I think this is the best I've seen him in a City shirt. So dangerous from crosses. 1 Quote Link to comment

He really said that. I wonder who Preston belong to? Just heard "Harry Kewell's Crawley". When did they change these club names??? I missed the announcements. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nogbad the Bad Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Excellent first half from City. Every player doing well and we actually look like a team. Eliasson is a very cultured player - Swansea can't handle him and we need to get the ball to his feet as often as possible. Really encouraging stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment
JBFC II Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Great first half, think those missed chances may come back to haunt us though Quote Link to comment
RedM Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Kicking towards us this half. Not sure if Swansea will let us have as much of the ball next half but we could easily of had a couple more. Kelly in particular looking very composed, certainly doesnt look out of place. So far a great performance and its amazing what a win on Tues did for confidence as we are really having a go at Swansea. Great to watch 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Swansea got the ball into their midfield nicely, but not into the final third. Kelly having a great battle with Asoro down their right, Kelly on top. This was the guy who kept running at Bryan in the Sunderlsnd 3-3 isn’t it? Pack and Brownhill doing well both with and without the ball. Weimann and Taylor working really hard and doing god jobs. Our biggest threat, Eliasson who has the better of his RB...Good cross for goal and other chances created. edit; just to add COD looking confident since replacing Watkins. God jobs? They must be playing well! 1 Quote Link to comment

Garland-sweden Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Think Watkins is important for us. In this sort of game I prefer him instead of Odowda. Watkins play simple and good. Quote Link to comment
