Man City 4-0 Swansea Highlights
Watch English Premier League match, Man City Vs Swansea highlights here.
Venue: Etihad Stadium.
Date: Monday, 15 August 2011.
Kick-off: 2000 BST.
Head-to-head
– This will be the first time the sides have met in the top flight since the 1982-83 campaign, when both clubs were relegated at the end of the season.
– Manchester City did the double over the Swans in the second tier in 1983-84. They have not met since then.
A flying start for both City and their new striker will put confidence into the team and supporters – this year they must be considered genuine contenders at last. Though having spent something on the order of half a billion pounds on players one should expect nothing less.
This really was a David v Goliath contest, with a team who have climbed four divisions facing the might of the City Philistines… but no joy for the underdog this time, despite a heroic performance from the ‘keeper.
Swansea will have a hard time avoiding relegation, and City can enjoy success if Mancini is prepared to be a bit bolder than his usual negative tactics this year.
on a side note: where does this leave want-away Charlie T?
It seems that his owner has runout of options, as no-one can afford Tevez’ fee or wages, and Man City are rich enough not to be bullied by Kia. I rather suspect that clubs are also wary of Tevez’ notoriously bad attitude, causing problems at almost every club he has ever played for.
The City fans have a new hero in Kun, and we know Charlie T doesn’t like to play 2nd fiddle to anyone.
thanks for the highlights.. hope the highlights will be more complete in the future..
