Thought we were riding a few tackles and staying clear of injury - sensible. As for the doomsters - it's Europe and it's a cup - look what happened to Udinese and Stuttgart tonight. |
And St. Etienne... lost to crappy Danish team... |  |

How Ratcliffe gets regular work as a commentator is a total mystery to me! His grasp of the English language is "lacks a daisy" to say the least! And he never seems to have a clue what is going on, and his comments on the game are almost exclusively incorrect or moronic! |
Get Leighton there doin it! |  | | |

Udinese and St Etienne both knocked out good news for us |
They still got a chance to qualify if they win the UEFA draw tomorrow:

He also spent the entire game saying that Ben Davies should be rested. Do you think he even realised that Taylor was injured? |  | | |

6-3 over two games. Great result. Another step forward in the history of our club and that's all you can read on here and Twitter is how gash we are.
Pathetic. |  | | |

Am I the only person that would like to see us persist with Ki over JDG? |
No. Ki every time at the moment.
Another horror show from JDG tonight. |  | | |

We were gash though.
Whilst it's nice to progress in Europe (although the quality of opposition hasn't been great) the lacklustre nature of our performances thus far this season are a cause for concern. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

I refused to listen to that drunken tvvat many years ago when on Ash' debut he said that Ash would never make a Centre Half as he was ' too muscular and too much of an athlete' |  |

Innit?
Anyone would think these away European games are going to be easy. A very hostile full house, the opposition kicking everything above a daisy and we come away with a narrow defeat and win the tie 6 - 3. | | | |

Have you been pleased with the performance of the team since the start of the season? | |

I disagree.
I wouldn't call the home performances against Man United, Malmo and Petrolul lacklustre in any shape or form. I didn't see the Spurs game so can't comment on it.
Our away game against Malmo was a decent enough performance which got the job done and our performance this evening was good considering the fact that we were without our captain, £12m signing and both of our regular wide men.
These types of games are never going to be easy. | | | |

Another superb plus of course that the team earned a further £1.1m guaranteed for the Shareholders Dividend pot at the end of the season | |

I agree that these games aren't going to be easy but looking at our style of play and individual performances, there wasn't a lot of positives apart from getting through to the group stages.
Whilst I do think it wasn't a game to pick up injuries, where was the personal pride from the players? the mental strength?
In my opinion we are looking as a team of individuals with very little team play which was our strength under Rodgers. Whilst I think he had taken us as far as he could, the players reacted positively to the 'name' of Laudrup.
Has that hype worn away? | | | |

I think there were positives this evening though.
Tremmel had a very good game and Pozuelo looks a class act, I also thought that Donnelly made a good account of himself and was unlucky not to get on the score sheet.
As far as the league is concerned I don't think many of us thought we would get much out of the first 2 games and we have to be patient. | | | |
| Petrolul Ploiesti V Swansea city matchday thread on 21:48 - Aug 29 with 2266 views | wr72 |
It'll all be forgotten come the weekend and we'll be worryng about Wst Brom and looking forward to the group stage draw in Europe.
Lifelong just summed it up perfectly saying Bony was missing,Ash,Dyer,Routs.
We were shite tonight but we'll be a different side at the Hawthorns. | | | |

I agree about Tremmel, and Donnelly kept going but needs to go out on loan to a championship side to get more experience. Too big a step up from reserves to Premier.
Pozuelo looks the part but early days yet.
We still need to do the dirty work earning the right to play with style. At the moment I do believe we are trying to play with style without the team support. The ball in the past was played to players with purpose, but now seems a way of passing the buck.
As far as the 2 games go, I didn't expect anything but hope signs of improvement start coming through.
imo we tend to carry about 4 players a game when heads drop easily | | | |

On the BBC website just now Laudrup was saying how unhappy he was at how many chances we missed on the counter attack. That was always therrisk with giving Donnelly a chance up front. I think Michu would have buried at least two of those. | | | |
