swansea with the special goods yet again

I was quite impressed by Michael Laudrup last season, and especially by Michu. I remember watching Swansea's opening game last year against QPR, and Michu was sensational.

And now Bony is also in that side. While no one expects much from Swansea, they'll be playing very entertaining football in the attack.

I loved them with Rodgers, great passing game, and with Michu they looked like the little club that nobody wants to play..

plus they really rely on team spirit =)

Wow somebody know Fc Petroluls, Gicu Grozav? Played 2 amazing games against Vitesse and he was very important in their victory over Vitesse. He is only 22y/o and has an amazing shot and good dribbles. In my opinion a really talented player!

Swansea of last season was much more fun to watch though, no pointless passes just for the sake of it. Laudrup introduced some directness into their play which proved very lethal and once they won league cup they didn't give shit about anything so did badly in the second half of the season.

I liked their Rodgers style too. Two of their players were in the top10 passers that year :pokerface: and yeah, the team looked like they played with 2 cbs, 7 cms and one ss. still, they did better than people expected.

Useless stat tbh when not used with proper context. This is what Barca has done to many football fans, number of passes completed is considered some sort of achievement. If player makes 100 plus passes then he will rated as "had very good game" no matter how he plays.

Not having a go at you, just saying in general.

I know, I know. Still think they were an interesting team to watch, something completly different for EPL. Now they are better, obviously, but people underrate that team too much.

Just watching Zürich against Fiorentina. Doesn't have Fiorentina a shirt sponsor this season?

cuadrado o.o

I love the Swiss commentators: "Cuadrado looks kinda like the young Ruud Gullit. For the old under you. ... Dreadlocks, a roguish face. ... The colour of his skin is also similar."

What's wrong with Udinese? This morons can't even make it in EL?

At least Rijeka leads against Stuttgart 2:0. :D

Getting trolled at home in EL :palm: with a strong squad :palm:

Serie A should ban them from representing Italy in a European competition again. If shit like this continues to go on pretty soon the Portuguese, French, Russian leagues will take over Italy on Uefa's coefficients.

I'm sure they'll beat Inter though this year.

Fucking hell. Utterly embarrassing.


at least the match report gives a bit of hope for the 2nd leg:
Udinese’s frustration was palpable, as they notched up 14 corners to 0 and 27 shots on goal to seven, not to mention hitting the woodwork three times

I hate Udinese. I hope they get relegated. Fucking minnows. Can't even get a good result against the 3rd placed Czech league team at home.

I just can't understand how they can be so consistently shit in Europe every season. There's not caring, and then there's Udinese.
