Sunderland at Home

Swansea are still yet to register their account in the premiership with yet another 0 – 0 draw at home to Sunderland.

Swansea lined up the same as they did against Wigan last week and managed to manufacture the same result.  It was john O’shea who almost opened the scoring for Sunderland as he headed against the wood work inside 2 minuets.

Scott Sinclair also struck the crossbar with a fabulous effort from 25 yards which came back in play but was headed narrowly wide by Nathan Dyer.

It was Danny Graham again coming close but not quite close enough as he forced 2 good saves out of the Simon Mignolet. Swansea’s record signing Graham also found himself un marked in the box but headed wide of Mignolet’s goal.

Graham was in the thick of it again as he got on the end of a well crafted pass from Leon Britton only to be denied by a very timely Wes Brown block.

All eyes were on referee Mark Halsey momentarily as Sunderland’s Cattermole went down under a challenge with Kemy Agustien.  The referee took no action even though replays shown a strong suggestion of an elbow being used.

Swansea were having a good spell in the game in terms of possession and chances as Graham came agonisingly close with a full goal to aim at.  Sunderland were sustaining pressure from Swansea again as Ashley Williams was narrowly denied a free header.

Vorm was yet again showing his quality as Sunderland managed to ride out the pressure and mount an attack which nearly saw them walk away with the 3 points.

Swansea will need to be much more clinical in front of goal. They have again dominated ball possession, forced more corners and created more chances but they are just not converting them.

Tough games in the shape of Arsenal and Chelsea await them and it will be on reflection from these games where Swansea will be kicking themselves for not getting more out of them..
