Swansea v Arsenal

    Not sure if many of you were watching but Swansea have just moved above us into 10th place and to be fair they were an good example for so many teams!

    They outplayed, outfought Arsenal and tackled everything that moved. When one tackle wasn't successful, immediately there was another one which did the business. Their work ethic and fitness, not to mention their technical ability were so impressive.

    I don't enjoy lauding other teams, but oh how I wish David Moyes could get out of our boys just some of what Brendan Rodgers seems to be getting out of Swansea (at least in this match).

    Anyway, ever the optimist, I'm sure that we'll get above them again soon! COYB

    Swansea are having a good season and they have some good players in their team, and they have a good manager as well. I think that they will finish higher than any other promoted team this season because I think that have a good balance in their team.

    Saw the game and Swansea did a number on Arsenal. Gotta say though Arsenal's arrogance and attitude stank. They played like Swansea shouldnt be on the same park as them, and got what they deserved, Wenger must be furious.......

    cjohno, I'm not denying what David Moyes has done over the past 10 years, because he has done a great job. But do you honestly think that DM is happy with the effort he is getting from the team on a regular basis? I wouldn't think so, but maybe you do! No matter what you think of Rodgers and the Swansea club, all I'm saying is that today I saw them fight for every ball and it wasn't just some of the team, it was all ten outfield players. I'm sure DM is trying everything he can to get our boys playing well but, I have to admit that I was envious of the passion I saw from Rodger's team today. That doesn't mean I don't care about EFC or DM, but give credit when credit's due - if we showed a bit more fight then this forum wouldn't be as downbeat as it has been recently. The truth is we used to battle it out more often with the top teams, so where has all that gone?

    Let see where they are in the league at the end of the season. Look at Blackpool, they played some really good stuff but couldn't miss the drop. But I agree if we could get our players to play with that much passion i'm sure we would be in a much healthier position and everyone on here would be much more up beat. COYB, IMWT

    Fair enough, Sambo. Roll on our game against Arsenal and the other teams above us, just hope we can do what they did!
