Why not? I think pulling a player back when he breaks away is pretty much a nailed on yellow these days.
Yep, blatant professional foul, has to be a yellow.

Certainly a well deserved yellow for Depay, no question about that.

He hardly pulled him back. He merely touched him with his hand and the guy fell over. Not enough of a pull back for me to deserve a yellow.

Swansea's defence looking the business again. Comfortably the lowest shots in the box conceded in the league, and zero big chances conceded so far this season. Might double up when their fixtures get a bit nicer.

Rooney didn't touch it. However, it can count as an assist.. hope it will be Shaw's.

Without doubt he attempted to impede his progress. Any contact in such a situation will be a yellow every time.

I did wonder about this when you posted it. For all their good defensive stats, the only team they've managed to shut out so far has been ten-man Newcastle.

The stats are dark and full of errors.

Yep, benched Shaw, essentially for Targett. Still at least it should hopefully push on his next price rise.

I'm sorry, but I have absolutely zero sympathy for anyone who sold Mané before a home game against Norwich.

Any team can concede or keep a cleanie in a given game, but long term the stats will tell you how well a defence will do. :D

True. I may bring a Swansea defender in at some stage, as you say when their fixtures get a bit nicer.

I certainly wish I'd gone for Naughton on my wildcard instead of Jenkinson.

Swansea aren't a good defensive team, they have good defenders but they're quite an attacking team. Ask yourself, who is Swansea's defensive midfielder?

Looks like Swansea have moved to 442 with Ayew up top.

Cork or Ki, whichever is playing. On what basis are you saying their defence is poor? Chances conceded, shots conceded? Because they're nearly top of every chart in the first three games.

Pretty ridiculous comment considering he was due a price drop and was only 50/50 to play. Coupled with the fact that Southampton have looked extremely poor thus far this season i think the decision was right but the outcome was wrong

Ayew getting in the box to partner Gomis and finish the attacks again and he keeps doing it. :)

Yes, I don't think Swansea's defence have enough cover from the midfield, and I think they try to win games and attack rather than shut teams out.

To be fair, he'd been flagged most the week as well and didn't even appear off the bench in Europe so didn't appear 100%, which cast a doubt over the situation. Coupled with a wildcard scenario where it fitted to remove him for the longer term, I can see the logic (I did it too :D ).

Benching isn't looking so terrible now!
