Swans Flying A Dream!!!

This has been a very exciting season for Swansea! It is still far but it seems that we might have an outside chance to qualify for europe the next season! Here are the standings during mid season :)

We are now in the 6th position and we even stand a chance to take part in the champions league! Note that 3rd to 9th positions are very close so I hope that Swansea is able to maintain his form.

We had managed to hold on to our position by winning 3 out of 6 matches. The Fulham match marks the start of our mini revival when Alberto Bueno finally ended his goal drought by scoring a hat-trick versus Fulham! This is also Swansea's first multi-goal match since 10 games.

I am a little disappointed though that despite a brace from Alberto Bueno, we were unable to take all 3 points versus Tottenham. This is due to 2 own-goals by Ryan Shawcross! Though I cant really blame him since he defended decently and the own goals are resulted from deflections from his body. I am also annoyed that Swansea had been made to play 4 GAMES in 8 DAYS, starting from the Fulham match. Despite the extremely tight schedule, I am proud that Swansea had so far secured 2 victories out of 3 games already.

Possible Reasons for Success

1) I had come to realised that might be a secret recipe to Swansea's current success. The secret ingredient is....
a good goalkeeper!

Notice the glaring stats. Michael Vorm has only managed to achieve a 30% win chance as compared with David Ospina! Furthermore, Vorm had not collected any clean sheet to date while Ospina is leading by 7!!
You know now who will I pick for my next team.... :)

2) Another albeit rather minor reason would be the good early form of Lucas Viatri. Notice that he has scored more goals in this half of the 3rd season than his first 2 seasons combined!
