Weren't United 2-0 up in this fixture last season and ended up drawing 2-2? Not saying it's going to happen again but no football result is a sure thing :)

Look at the betting thread and see the amount of times people have lost big on so called sure things
 
To watch Mansitty or Manyoo game?

I like watching Swansea, hate watching City...but it could be an interesting game and an upset is by no means impossible. On the other hand, it's always a treat to watch Utd. if they're on song and West Brom are doing well at the moment.

Hmmm. Manyoo game for me I think.

Swansea - City is a chance to watch Caulker...
 
How long before another person suggests that Brendan Rogers would be an ideal replacement for Redknapp? I think he could be.

I think it's remarkable how a newly promoted team can dominate possession against any side. I know possesion isn't everything but they deserve credit for dominating the ball against a side that cost 50x what theirs did.

Around 20 minutes :)

He's convinced me. If Harry goes I think our shortlist for the manager positions should go:

1. Mourinho
2. Rodgers
3. Loads of other managers.

Two questions about Rodgers imo. Will he manage the pressure and bigger names at a bigger club and how will he do in the transfer market with money to spend.

For the first two it's difficult to say, but he seems ambitious and has no problems motivating the Swansea players so looking good. He's done brilliantly in the transfer market for Swansea, no real reason why he shouldn't be able to scout players to fit his sytem with more money to spend.

Swans keeping the ball well. Their possession play quite reminds me of ours, on a good day.

Reminds me nothing of us other than both us and Swansea having many good players. There was a good passage of play after around 25-30 minutes illustrating that. Swansea had the ball at the back with Britton dropping deep like he did most of the match, but they didn't find any opening. Britton darted forward lookin to create space, and at the same time Allen came deep to get the ball. Still no space to find to pass it up field, Allen darted forward an against instantly Sigurdsson came deep to get the ball. These aren't just good players, these are good players working in a set system where they know what their jobs are.
 
HT 0-0 at the Liberty. Swansea doing well, enjoying good possession and working very hard, when they lose the ball, to win it back. Just lacking a bit of sharpness in the final third at the moment and tending, like a lot of passing sides, to overplay it a bit. City looking ever so slightly rattled, though, to me. Mancini introduced Ag??ero for Barry just before half-time.

That always helps, but I think you're slightly too down on us. On that good day I was talking about, our possession game is as good as anyone's, and better than most.
