I dont understand bobby's use of 2 defensive midfielders; i understand he said that he didnt want to underestimate swansea, which is smart, but come on. i liked it when kompany started pushing up pretty far and that's kinda when we started bossing the game. in the beginning i dont know why we werent pressuring the ball and letting swansea pass it like arsenal.

for the 2nd half i want to see aguero for barry or even AJ at the 50th. maybe aguero for aj and milner for barry.

silva has been great so far and i dont know what dzeko is doing. messed up that perfect chance he had at the end.
yaya looks better than he did at the CS though which is good.

Barry and dzeko have been two of our better players IMO.


Aye, it's all well and good pointing to two defensive midfielders but Barry has been very forward thinking and could have had two.
we've got love bites and everything

I think he's used to always trying to find a team mate to pass it too, and holds on to the ball when that doesn't happen.
In Holland hoofing it is a deathly sin. He will have to learn, tough.

Watched quite a bit of Swansea last season and it was clear that even then they were told to play it out.

I think it's been a decent first half from us. only a goal missing. Feeling two or three will come.

I'm loving Dzeko - once his team mates figure out his strengths lie in areas other than pace they will get a lot more from him too.

Only a matter of time before we snatch one and the floodgate open.

On another note you should see what Macca is wearing looks like he raided dads wardrobe. A fucking double breasted! What a tit.

According to the BBC 5 Live commentator, our squad cost £800 million. Good grief.
