There are plenty of positives that we still have and that could see us survive this season. The main one being that playing at home, and when Carlos has belief that we can win, we can play excellent are very capable of getting results.
We have 2 games left against teams in the relegation zone, both are 6 pointers, and these games should see Carlos more up for it and setting up with belief. If Carlos is up for it and on form, this is reflected in the players. By letting them get at the other team more and attack, keep possession and prevent the other team from getting many chances, this is when we are at our best.
The positives from the Man City game yesterday were that the lack of effort could be seen as: the players were saving themselves for the next more winnable games to come. No one got injured, and today we actually haven't got that much of a roasting from the media at all. It's mostly praising Man City. We were expected to lose, so no big thing has been made of it.
Although the players have had a roasting on social media from their own supporters, I personally do not blame them for how they played yesterday. It was Carlos who had them to play these doomed tactics, and if anything, their lack of motivation showed that they would have preferred to play a different way, to be given a chance of competing. When Carlos sets them up differently, lets them get at teams more, they will probably be a lot happier and motivated for it.
And our run in is easier than the other clubs around us so this is another positive.
The negatives are: the way we were set up to play yesterday, all the negative training involved with these types of tactics, this could have a bad effect on the players confidence. If the players are starting to not agree/not want to be playing these negative tactics, it could start to lower their respect for Carlos. If Carlos is going into certain games with low belief and low confidence, that's the last thing the players want, they need high belief and high confidence at this time.
Another negative could be that Carlos may decide to give Chelsea too much respect at the Liberty and they will be given an easy win. I just hope we don't play this negative way of playing again.

The positives are that even though it's probably the worst Swans team since being promoted we are still in with a chance of staying in the league despite extremely poor recruitment .
The negative is that every year we creep closer and closer to the trap door and a quick look in Sunderlands direction tells us that even huge clubs can't cope with bad signings on long contracts.
If we stay up this season how many here think we will move forward and progress ?
or will we stay the same and once again copy and paste the last 3 seasons ? |  | | |

I do not think we had one player in that squad who believed in the tactics and the set up for the Man City game. And as far as "no effort" I bet every one of them is knackered running around trying to close down space. The ball was something that no-one wanted - it was like pass the parcel at a kid's party. The Ayew brothers spent most of the match in our final third, the midfield had no options because their job on the day was to intercept the ball rather than distribute it. Carlos got his tactics and selection wrong - he now has four games to get at least a couple of them right |  | | |

Positives - there are worse teams than us in the league. Turned around our form to try and stay up.
Negatives - squad worse year on year. A Sunderland in the making | | | |

The biggest negative is a poster on a football forum upsetting other posters.Sorry but that's just Barmy.
We are in a relegation battle 4 massive games but what fans on here post matters not one jot.
We have bigger things to worry about. | |
