Ki Is Your Latest Man Of The Match
Ki Sung-Yeung is your man of the match from the Swans weekend clash with Southampton at the Liberty after a strong performance from him in the centre of midfield.
Ki has been like a new signing for the Swans this season and has put in some excellent performances this time around most notably at the weekend where he was in charge of much of the midfield action as the Swans tried a rear guard action forced upon them by the sending off of Wilfried Bony in the first half.
Ki ended the game with a rating of 7.4 from the Swans fans ahead of Lucasz Fabianski who rated 7.1 and Ashley Williams at 6.8 giving him his man of the match award and a deserved one on a tough afternoon for the Swans.
At the opposite end of the scale there was a rating of just 4.1 for the red carded Bony, 4.9 for late substitute Marvin Emnes (or was that Gomis or Hernandez?) and 5.2 for Swans left back Neil Taylor.
Overall the highest rating in the game was 7.9 given to Victor Wanyama whilst the referee was given a rating of just 4.3 and the match overall 5.6.

Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
