Gomis has always been a frustrating player.

You need to watch Montero more. He's good

Oh and I don't say this about a lot of players but Oscar is such a bitch

You could say that about a number of players on that team.

At least Costa has a mean villainous streak. The elbow play with Oscar was exactly the straw that broke the camels back for me

We resigned Tremmel for some unknown reason yesterday. Pretty odd move

Another great result today. Controlled that game from the start. Jonjo really thriving in that deep lying role. Also if we could end every game against 10 it wouldn't hurt

Some stats from Saturday:

Daniel Gabbidon ?@Gabbidon35 Aug 15
Ashley Williams completed 102 of his 105 passes today, giving him a pass completion rate of 97.14%. (via @TheSwanseaWay) ?? #SWANEW

Only Ashley Williams (116) & Fede Fernandez (110) had more touches today than Jonjo Shelvey (104). #Baller #Tempo #Heartbeat

Yeah Jonjo pulling the strings back there has been great. Playing the "sliderule" passes to Gomis in these first 2 games. Great composure and finish on his goal

Jeff is a nightmare to defend. His real test on how he has grown will come when he faces a FB that can run with him like Kyle Walker. But so far he's been nothing but a menace

Gyfli has been quiet but we haven't asked much of him yet. I also think in the first 2 games teams have focused more on denying him the ball which has opened up lanes for Jonjo and Jeff

Ayew has been great. Great work rate on both ends of the field and clinical in front of goal so far. If he can pitch in with about 10 goals this season that will go a very long way

Shitty Sunderland up next so this should be another 3 points this weekend. They have looked terrible

This Sunderland team reminded me of a shittier 2012 stoke. Lots of kicking. They were up for it. Bad giveaway by Fernandez led to their goal. Lens was dangerous for them. Ayew and Gomis dangerous again. Pantilimon rescued a point for them. Two amazing saves.

5 from 9 ain't bad. Good start

Yeah I'm interested to see what some young guys can do. Always good to give them some looks and Monk has not been shy in the past on calling them up to the first team either

Their D has been rock solid. I think chances for both teams in this game will be few and far between. Would love a win but would be happy with a point in this one.

Just watched and holy crap what a win. Ayew was amazing. Monk is finally getting much deserved praise. Ash with some great tackles especially on Rooney at the end (glad he forgot he has a left foot too). Gomis is night and day with his hold up play compared to when he first arrived. Great game from his as well.

A couple of things from a Mersey Red. That special was unbelievable, makes me pull for you guys, especially today. I agree with the Monk evaluation, would you like BR back? I 'm all in for a straight up swap. Liberty was in great voice after that equalizer. Congratulations, your club deserves everything it gets.
