Here is what Swansea's Comical Ali said in his post-match interview:
- punished for mistakes
Of course. But those mistakes don't come from out of blue, they are result of tactical mistakes and stupid style of football
- small details and moments not quite good enough
It is structural, this is not about "small details"
- they had four shots on target and scored three goals
This stat just shows that we give away high quality chances, and I have to repeat it's structural
- I'd argue we had better periods in front of goal, especially in that period early in the second half
Yeah, "small details and small moments"
- We have to make the most of them
The most of what? We didn't create a single clear-cut chance. It's structural. We give away high quality chances and we create low quality chances.
- their second goal was a real sucker punch really
No shit Sherlock.
- so much control, so much dominance, we make a mistake in the first half
We neither controlled nor dominated the game. Blackburn did.
- we wanted to be quicker but we played against the team who sit behind the ball deep in their own half, which makes it really difficult - any team in the world would struggle to break them down - so we have to do a bit work on that
Playing quicker has nothing to do with the opposition sitting deep.
- we make another mistake in the second half
And???
- it's a really tight space to work in
But your football wants the opposition to sit tight in their own half, so that shouldn't be a surprise, and certainly not an excuse
- second half, we come out, a good energy, a lot of chances
A lot of chances???? Did I watch a different game???
- the crowd really good
The Liberty was like a morgue for the vast majority of the game
- their second goal I can't really explain, the ball falls down in the middle of the pitch and we don't have anyone there. So lack of detail, lack of structure and anxiety that's not being managed at that moment well enough
Why is that?
- they have two best players in the league playing that way, counter-attacking
And what did you do to counter that?

I didn't want to listen anymore to that crap.
