Swansea City : Nov 2015 – Jan 2016

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE

We had 13 matches from Nov 2015 until Jan 2016. We were doing really great as we won all except 2 matches. But the worse, we lost 0-5 against Man Utd.

11 win = 33 points. We are currently 9 points clear from the second team, Tottenham. Both Manchester’s team in 3rd and 4th position. Cardiff doing really good, positioned 5th in the league while Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are only 7th, 8th and 9th.

Yunieski Saint-Louis, even though scored 8.03 on average rating, he only played for 3 matches. Still he was doing great with 3 goals. . The best is Yaya Sanogo, 7.85 on average rating + 12 goals from 10 appearances.

Chelsea vs Swansea

On 21.11.2016 we had our match against Chelsea.

And we won the match, thanks to Sanogo for his two goals + a red card to Mauricio Isla.

Tottenham vs Swansea

On 5.12.2015, we had our match against Tottenham. After beating Chelsea and Cardiff before this match, we were really in good moral.

We won this match thanks to Erick Torres’s red card just before the break. We were behind in first half but making our comeback in second half. Yaya Sanogo scored twice and another one from Barkley.

Swansea vs Liverpool

Just after defeating Tottenham, we had to face Liverpool, but this time at home.

And again, Yaya Sanogo become our hero. He scored hat-trick in this match.

Aston Villa vs Swansea

After Liverpool, we won against Blackburn and then its time for Aston Villa.

I dont know what happen but we couldnt do anything in this match. Try to attack more but still we lost the match.

Man Utd vs Swansea

Our second last match was against Man Utd. After beat by Aston Villa, we win against a few opponents and our morale are high again.

This was the worse match ever. I dont know what happen but we really lost in this match. 5 goals were really a big score. I really disappointed.

Next 3 months, we will have to face all 6 Big Team, starting Arsenal and end with Man Utd. Hopefully we can win most of the matches.

EUROPEAN CHAMPION CUP

This 3 months, we had 3 matches. Starting with FC Kobenhavn, Dynamo Kyiv and Villareal. And we won them all + no conceded at all.

We got perfect win in group stage, with only conceded one.

Jack Wilshere was our core player to win our group. Playing in 5 matches, scoring twice and also assist twice, he really doing a good job. Mattia Destro and Ceri Casey both scored 4 goals in group stage.

Swansea vs FC Kobenhavn

After defeating them 2-0 in away match, obviously i wanna win with more goal in this match.

And it happen. We won 3-0, thanks to Wilshere, Destro and Casey.

Swansea vs Dinamo Kyiv

Our second last match for group stage was against Dinamo Kyiv. In away match, we won big, 6-1.

With we already qualified to next round, i dont see any need to play all my key player. So i only use my youngster and we still won 2-0.

Villareal vs Swansea

Our last match was against Villareal. We both already qualified so this match was actually meaningless.

And i also use my youngster in this match. Lucky to us, Villareal losing one player just in 24th minute. We won 2-0.

In first knockout stage, we will face PSG. The most interesting match could be Man City vs Real Madrid.

LEAGUE CUP

After defeating Leicester, then Wolves, its time for QF against Tottenham. Winning that, we had to face Man City. And in the final, we will face West Ham.

Swansea vs Tottenham Hotspur

In Quater Final, we face Tottenham.

And we won the match with a big score. We won 4-0. Thanks to Ramsey, Sanogo, Wilshere and Boyata.

Man City vs Swansea

In Semi Final, we had to face Man City. The first leg played away so its kinda disadvantage for me.

Thanks to Wilshere and Ramsey, we won this first leg.

Swansea vs Man City

In second leg, we played in our home ground. With 2-1 win in the first leg, we are really in big advantage.

We actually lost 1-2 in the full 90 minutes. But in 96th minute, Remi Roche becomes our hero, scoring our winning goal.

FA CUP

Our journey in FA Cup already end only in Fourth Round.

Southampton vs Swansea

We start in 3rd Round against Southampton.

Playing against such a weaker team, i only use my youngster in this match. I also try 2 of my new player. The result was good as we won 2-0.

Tottenham vs Swansea

Our second step was against Tottenham.

And we end this tournament with shame as we lost 0-3 to Tottenham. Actually its not really matter since i use a few young player.
