Match Analysis: Swansea City 1-0 Sheffield United

[SwansAnalytics]

I apologise if I shouldn't create a new thread for this, but I thought i'd share the match analysis I wrote for Saturday's game.

A match with plenty to look at in terms of tactics - both managers making changes during the game as Potter especially needed to adjust things to cope with United's dominance. I thought you were excellent for the first 20 minutes or so and like we've done so often this season (which is partly why we're around mid-table) didn't take the chances when on top.

Good luck for the rest of the season, SA.

Made for an interesting read. Things like this make me realise how shallow my footballing knowledge really is!

I’m not sure that image of Wilder is too reflective of reality. Looks more like a Hole in the Road beggar.

A heat map of the referees yellow card should be shown ,4-0 really ? Why don't homers ever come to the Lane ?

good read, thanks for posting
Fair play to Swansea /Potter - 2nd half you were by far the better team and caused us lots of problems - his tactical switch worked brilliantly and Dyer /Routledge we couldn't cope with the pace , Fer dictated everything and mcburnie impressed against us -again !

curiously what is the Swan's opinion on mcburnie ? always looked very good against us

felt Swansea's 2nd half was one of the best performances by a team against us this season and sometimes you have to hold your hands up and say Imo you deserved the win ( having said that if we score those 2 chances first half it could have been an easy win for us !)

funny game this football lark !

I think the majority really like him but there's also a decent few who would prefer a more rounded, orthodox striker. His goals and assists numbers speak for themselves and sometimes his workrate and general play goes unnoticed by some. He's all we've got really up top and we do need something different as a backup. We have Wilfried Bony but we want his big wages off the bill, and he's hardly ever fit either.
