Shows the most one sided statistics in Premier League history for a game where a team has actually taken something from the game albeit just one point
30 goal attempts for the home team, a struggling Huddersfield, to none for the Swans, only 19% ball possession for Swans and most of that in our own half, with 12 corners to nil.
In the circumstances ( player sent off after 10 minutes ) the point was seen as a miraculous achievement but let's be honest it wasn't really was it. Again we rode our luck. For sheer determination we deserved a point but let's be honest, determination from players is a minimum requirement isn't it. It was most definitely nothing to write home about as welcome and possibly vital as the one point is.

Plenty to write home about the 3 centre backs and Fabianski were brilliant. | |

Did Swansea stand a chance with 10 players against a poor team as Huddersfield? - for some reason it was portrait in the media as we were playing against Barcelona.
Swansea should have been more agressive - defend deep and waited for lethal counterattacks - instead we played like Man. United. |  | | |

Those stats are more humiliating to Huddersfield than they are to us. |  |

To help put this into context the record Premier League win was in 1995 when Man Utd beat Ipswich Town 9-0, scoring nine from their 21 goal attempts. | |

Stats mean the square root of fuk all the records will show is the score at the Full time whistle 0-0 and a point each, we could have put dyer on and gone for it and ended up getting our arses kicked 3-0 or more, those tactic's aren't a always gonna work for us so make the most of it when it does, could even have been better if Van Der Hoorn and made a decent contact with that chance he had and Tammy when he had his chance, at the end of the day a points a point. |  |

We should have put Dyer in, taken a defender off.
Then everyone could say what a positive side we are, losing 4-0.
What would I prefer, that scenario or nil-nil parking the bus🤔 |  |

This is why stats can be so misleading. They had 3 decent chances I can remember, the volley, a cross shot in the second half and the header against the bar right at the end. I think 4 of their 30 shots were on target?
We didn’t try to take the game to them at all, we just challenged them to break us down and they weren’t able to. They had 81% possession and all the corners and territory, because every time we got the ball, we pretty much just launched it towards an unsupported Ayew, reset and waited for it to come back.
We played for 0-0 for 80 odd minutes and bar a couple of scares, achieved it fairly comfortably. We could have taken the game to them, the stats would have looked better but we probably would have lost. | | | |

But we've had a forward sent off against other teams and not had such a battering as this - it's not as if our defence was disrupted by Ayew going off.
And while it was great to see Andre constantly tracking back to help out, and high praise for his work-rate, maybe he should have stayed upfield to give Huddersfield something to worry about. |  |

Down to 10 men after eleven minutes away to a relegation rival, fought like demons and come away with a priceless point that could be the difference between staying up or going down .... and still people moan ffs! If this scenario would have happened under Clements it would have been a massacre.... only on Planet Swans aye 😂 | |

In all reality losing one player shouldn't make all that difference just keep hold of the ball rather than hoof it up the field,because most of the time back it comes. | | | |

Dyer and Narsingh, but you wouldn't have put them on Saturday unless we had gone a goal down and then it would only been Dyer as he will defend, I was happy with the point after being down to 10 men for so long, games gone now and history will tell you in yrs to come that the game ended 0-0 nothing else. | |

Of course our defence was disrupted, they didn’t have an outlet as the midfield was stopping Huddersfield attacking centrally and Ayew was isolated. We gambled on them not being able to either play through our midfield or get any joy from wide with our three centre backs defending crosses. To do that we had to abandon any attacking intent, which meant fighting off wave after wave of attacks.
Not losing a player in defence doesn’t mean it’s not affected. | | | |

We'd have won that 11 v 11 I'm convinced of that after watching the game I wasn't convinced before the game though, I'd also say if Hogg had been sent off for the foul on Ki as he should have been, I'd have fancied us then as well, as Dyer would have come on probably giving us extra zip with Tammy.

Max, it was Hadergjonaj who should have had the red card for the tackle on Ki.
Hogg should have gone in the first half, which should have made it 10 v 9 and 3 points for the Swans.
Anyway it was a great fighting point and could be crucial when the season ends. |  |

The record books will indeed always show it as a 0-0. But whichever way you look at it we were lucky to escape with a point which explains the jubilant scenes at the final whistle. A tactical masterclass I heard it referred to? I think not. Getting everyone behind the ball and to defend deeply and in numbers is the easiest tactic in the book. It was our tactic at Spurs, another 0-0 where the home team dominated and deserved a big win. Another game where our goalkeeper was the clear man of the match. The difference with Carvalhal is that he can and does vary tactics, formation and game plans considerably. | |

While I was absolutely thrilled with the point gained , thought the swans might have created something during the 90 minutes. Teams do win playing with 10 men and like another poster said it was Huddersfield and not man city we were playing against. Southend actually beat the swans down the vetch with 8 players and I think they actually scored their 3rd goal with only 8 players on at the time. | | | |
