Bet yet it was still good enough to win at Old Trafford, that has to be a massive plus as I honestly believe we can raise our game way beyond yesterdays performance. Also nice to already have more points this season than we did last against a top 8 side. Amazing what a manager with the right attitude can achieve. Lets hope we get the remainder of our shopping list bought and lets enjoy another wonderful swansea city premier league season. |  | | |  |

If we're looking for perfection then yes, we weren't quite there but in no shape or form was that a poor performance.Shearer and Gullit who both watched the game said we were superb and I agree.
Early doors yet though. [Post edited 17 Aug 2014 9:32]

I can't see how any better a performance can be expected away from home anywhere, never mind at Old Trafford. Clinical |  |

I suppose if you wanted to be critical you could say that there were times, especially in the first half where our passing was sloppy but you'd come to expect that given where we were playing and it being the first game of the season.
It also rehighlighted the need for a defensive midfielder too but you really are nitpicking if you're picking out things from yesterday that weren't good enough to be fair. |  | | |

We panicked on occasions losing possession by just hoofing it back to them, against a better team we would have been punished.
Saying that we were beating Man Utd away so they had every reason to act rashly as it was not a position we have been in regularly before. Monk did say there was plenty to work which is a good thing. |  |

I just feel our passing was nowhere near its best, a few players off the boil and a few with so much more to give. Its a point that was made this morning on the sunday supplement and I agree with it. This swansea side can and will play a lot better than that. It was no where near the level of performance we put in at times over the past few seasons, although I agree tactically we were superb as was our shape and commitment. Perhaps my title is a bit ott but my post is meant as a massive compliment to monk and the players.
Also interesting to note how well ALL our new signings played despite our 'low key' pre season. Funny that. Maybe a pre season game away at Reading is better preparation than a tournament in the states against madrid etc. One things for certain we have a manager that keeps improving, learning whilst at the same time delivering in many areas. If only he had some contacts in the game!! | | | |

Poor? FFS. We were not the best we could be by any means but no way we were "poor". |  |

If you looked at the other premier league games you could tell passing wasn't that good. Arsenal for example even though they won their passing was dreadful. I think it's just because it's the first game of the season. Players still getting used to the tactics and still trying passes out.
I'm expecting us to pass pretty well in the next few games. Btw wasn't our passing accuracy something like 80% which isn't too bad. | | | |

The whole point is that they played much better in terms of passing and possession in some games last year and either drew or lost.
That was an epic performance yesterday, Monk proved absolutely right. | | | |

I agree with this. It is also funny how often the media say sides have had an off day for whatever reason when we beat a time. I sometimes think that we as supporters often fall into the same trap. We were at OT. As the home side they are bound to have more chances.on this occasion however we restricted them to very few. I could not have expected any more from our team. |  |

What a poor build up for Ki's goal. I demand at least 45 passes before we score.
Honestly "poor" FFS |  | | |
