We just decided to sit back and let Swansea have the ball and territory, more or less inviting them to break us down while thinking that there was no way they could do so.

It was very much a game of two halves for City as he described our ball retention in the second half as "woeful" and thought Swansea did enough to score after the break. Gabbs wasn't sure that City could make the Play Offs because they had to work so hard to get a win given they have so little of the ball in games
That's how I'd describe the second half. We had the height, we packed the defence and still Swansea created some good chances that meant they deserved an equalising goal.

If we wanted to be a play-off team we'd have tried harder to beat Stoke (out of form, struggling to score, first choice striker off early) by making greater use of the bench, and we could have used the bench more effectively against Swansea to improve ball retention by subbing off Moore and getting a player less fatigued on. MM won the big game but reduced our chances of making play-offs last week and increased chances of players getting injured needlessly.
