[VitalSwansea]

A good passing move there to quickly get forward but Routledge is offside from McBurnies pass down the right.

 

[VitalSwansea]

Looks like a 4231. Dhanda playing behind McBurnie. Grimes left back. Routledge on the right wing, Montero left.

 

[VitalSwansea]

Montero is coming deep and inside more often than he used to to help out defensively.

 

[VitalSwansea]

And the left winger gets down the left but his cross is cleared out for a corner, taken by Dhanda.

 

[VitalSwansea]

Decent corner in aimed at the front post for Van Der Hoorn. Cross is cleared to Montero who cuts inside and his shot goes over the bar.

 

[VitalSwansea]

A decent passing move in the middle third there, first time passes forward are always great to see.

 

[VitalSwansea]

First decent chance for Eibar after direct free kick is blocked by the wall, follow up shot goes over the target.

 

[VitalSwansea]

Players at the back holding on to possession for too often at times and getting caught out. Van Der ahoorn the latest culprit of that

 

[VitalSwansea]

Dhanda and McBurnie looking brightest so far. The link to them from midfield isn't great though.

 

[VitalSwansea]

Eibar head wide after a long, high cross is sent into the box.

 

[VitalSwansea]

Eibar head over direct from a free kick. Midway through first half

 

[VitalSwansea]

Montero gets to the by-line again but his cross is just too high for McBurnie at the far post

 

[VitalSwansea]

Montero nicked possession well then and easily slipped past a few players through the middle but his pass to McBurnie was poor.

 

[VitalSwansea]

I don't think Potter will be too happy with how often we're conceding possession and the little we keep the ball for. We're not able to enjoy decent spells of possession like I'm sure he'd like us to

 

[VitalSwansea]

Little to say for the Swans. Eibar with the better chances and we can't create much apart from Montero's crosses.

 

[VitalSwansea]

Eibar go 1 up.

Ball worked down the right into the box, low cross across the box and the ball is passed into the net at the far post.

 

[VitalSwansea]

Eibar 2-0.

Ball is played into the box, striker chests it down, holds off a defender and finishes on the turn. Poor defending from the Swans

 

[VitalSwansea]

Swans sub: Montero and McBurnie go off for Dyer and Rodon on

 

[VitalSwansea]

Swans with a back 3, pushing the wing backs forward and Dyer too is applying higher and more energetic pressure
