It's a great time to be a blue.
This was always gonna be a tricky fixture, Swansea play similar to us, so it was always gonna be a big test. Nobody dominated the first half, but had Mirallas decided to look up and see Lukaku, we could have easily been leading.
Second half, we dominated and deservedly took the lead, not often to i agree with Sky commentators, but was wonderful to see Niall Quinn speaking the praise of Seamus like that. The kid is a gem, and what did he cost? £50k. That really is deal of the century, 4th goal of the season is that? Belter.
Poor coverage for their goal by Pienaar, who played well, really needs to stop going down softly though. Hope he isn't injured at all/ for long.
But i didn't think Swansea were very good, dunno if that's because we just stopped them playing or they weren't very good. Either way, this for me is our most important win of the season, all of the top 8 won, except Arsenal and Chelsea, who simply couldn't both win, so we needed to keep the pace, and keep the other teams down.
One side note: No Jelavic, maybe not be a shock, but happy to see Vellios there, hopefully we can coast one of our games soon, and get him on and show what he's worth.
