Swansea 1 Manchester City 3 - Post Match Reactions
The Swans and Manchester City played out an entertaining encounter at the Liberty yesterday afternoon with the home side more than matching the league leaders for more than an hour.
And as you can imagine in the reactions there were some positive comments from the home side and maybe even an element of relief from the away contingent.
Swans defender Angel Rangel
"There were good signs. We played better football than we have recently. We looked more organised and played more as a unit.
"That's what we need to do, especially at home.
"We have some more tough games ahead but we have to regroup and go again next week."
Midfielder Leroy Fer
"Four points from six games is not the Swansea level, but I think we showed this weekend what we are about.
"Now we need to continue to show that in the coming games.
"Manchester City are a strong team who play very good football.
"We responded well after they scored their opening goal but did not have enough in us to take anything from the match.
"If we keep playing like this, though, I think we will turn results around. We are creating chances, but we must make sure we take them and scored the goals.”

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.
