Swansea v Arsenal

I don't know if anyone is watching this game but it is a cracker. A newly promoted team with limited ability showing how the game should be played! If Swansea can play passionately with limited funding, why can't we ?

On the plus side, QPR stay in the bottom three.

Swansea are head and shoulders above us. They have pace and creativity in midfield and defenders who aren't scared of the ball.

Oh, and a good manager.

Great game of football and credit to swansea they out played arsenal at their own game at times.

As Nat says Swansea are head an shoulders above us and play football how it should be played.

I wonder if Martinez would have been able to do the same if he had stayed there.

Martinez ? Wasn't Paulo Sousa the manager who was sacked ?

Martinez was the guy who started building the team like it is today then left for Wigan and Sousa was the manager after Martinez but was sacked a few months into the job then along came Rodgers.

I think they sacked sousa because he tried to building a totally different team and it wasn't working so got sacked.

Well spotted, I didn't know Martinez started his managerial career at Swansea. I can remember Sousa being there and getting the boot.

Swansea players are all comfortable on the ball, keep possession well, pose an attacking threat and appear totally committed to the cause.
I'm jealous.

Jealous with good reason. I think that's the direction OC wants to go as well.

If he wants to build a similar side to Swansea I feel a couple of seasons in the championship is the only way he can build a team like that.

Anyone who went to our first Prem game in Wales would've witnessed why Swansea win while we won't.
