Gary Speed believes that Swansea will get even better as his Sheffield United ended the Swans play off hopes
Speed said after the Blades won 1-0 at Bramall Lane “Ask anyone in the league and Swansea are the best footballing team
“We drew 1-1 down there earlier in the season but we were battered. We were played off the park.
“Teams will adapt to Swansea because of the way they play but Roberto will have time to work on things in the summer and get them even better.
“People talk about the way they play but they certainly don’t lack for power, pace and strength.
“They’ve got all that as well as their ability on the ball.
“I think when Roberto got the job a few eyebrows were raised because he hadn’t managed anywhere.
“It was seen as more of a continental thing, but to get them up last season and then do so well this time...he’s done a fantastic job.
“I thought we were really good, this time of the season, and with so much on the game, the last team you want to play is Swansea.
“They pass it and keep the ball really well, so it was important for us not to get anxious when we didn’t have the ball.
“We couldn’t get frustrated if Swansea had the ball for while and what we worked on in training this week certainly worked.
“When they did have possession in their own half they didn’t really hurt us, and when we won the ball back we looked very dangerous.
“So I think it was a good performance by the boys and the most pleasing thing was the way they handled the occasion and the pressure.
“It was a must-win game and when you go into that situation it’s difficult.”
