 Swansea measure up as Matos tactics outsmart Watford 31st Jan 2026 20:26Swansea City proved their worth as head coach Vitor Matos set his depleted side up to exploit the Watford midfield and press relentlessly throughout this game. The days of hanging on for a 1-0 win to be thwarted at the end of halves seems to be a thing of the past, at least for now. The determination was there with Ethan Galbraith on the bench and Melker Widell (out injured) there were a few raised eyebrows at this Swansea selection.  0

We're overdue giving someone a thrashing. It'll be just my luck that we do it on Sunday when I'm off on holibobs. [Post edited 31 Jan 20:36]

Apparently Matos was booked for going on the pitch. Even though he was playing at piece maker, managers are not allowed to enter the field of play. 🤷♂️ |  | | |

Htf did burgess get a 5? He was immense yesterday, hardly put a foot wrong.
Not very good marks for the only player in the championship to play every minute of every game this season. |  | | |

As I always say mate you see a different game live to those watching on TV. Some deny it but I stand by what I say, half the game is off the ball, positioning, covering, off ball runs creating space ect ect. Personally I find watching the game on TV very frustrating because I want to see the bigger picture. | | | |

Because he's one of this season's whipping boys despite basically the same levels of performance as Cabango. | |

Cabango got a far bigger rating than burgess yesterday but imo burgess was the better.
I kept mentioning to the eldest and a mate everytime burgess did something good, it was quite a few times. | | | |

Same principle that saw Twitter full of people asking "WhY iS FulTOn StarTing?" despite him being arguably our best performing player over the last month. | |

Matos tactics? It was an injury to Ronald that forced him to bring on Josh Key, with Galbraith the first off the bench at right back. A minute later, Josh Key scores. Matos got proved wrong if anything. Hopefully Josh Key and Galbraith will both be used in their correct position. | | | |

Me and the boys were right behind the goal and we lost count of the number of times Burgess cleared the ball with his head in dangerous situations including a couple of excellent Watford corner deliveries.
He had a couple of wobbles with his passing but that is par for the course with Big Cam.
Everyone around me agreed he was excellent at his main job. | | | |

Cam is a no nonsense old school centre half ,he does a lot of great work in the air and covering the back and doesn’t get the credit he deserves deserves ,Ben sometimes makes mistakes with his passing but never gets criticised like Cam
Every team would like an Ariel defender , we have one so let’s be grateful, | | | |

Announced by the Indy 8 minutes after teams disclosed in Saturday. Still today (not on here) there’s the less intelligent asking about why he was missing from the squad two days ago ! 😂
Still who knows where they will be going after May 😉 | |

I also think a bit harsh on Eom, who in the space of 2 mins relieved pressure down the left with an incredible first touch and turn before getting poleaxed off the pitch (and ultimately injured), then dusted himself off and played a great ball out to Ronald who won the corner for our first goal.
Terrible shot into our row Z in the first half mind! | | | |
