Michael Dawson:

"We've showed a good attitude since the gaffer has come in, our form at home has been brilliant but it was a tough afternoon for us.

"City are a class side and we know what they can do here. At 3-0 with half an hour to go they could have cut us open.

"It's not about Swansea's results, we have picked up six points this week to get out of the bottom three."
 
Pep Guardiola:

"It was important for us to win after many days without a win. We started well and created chances and we had the right attitude.

"We could have scored many more goals. It is frustrating not go get a clean sheet but we defended poorly at set-pieces.

"It will definitely go to the last day [the fight for top four]."
 
we did defend poorly at set pieces but if you gamble with a makeshift defender then that's what you get.

you can't have it both way and in the attacking part it not we could have got more goals but should have.
 
Marco Silva:

"The second goal was the key but they deserved to win the game.

"We reacted well after the first goal and had a chance to score but they scored after half time and that was key.

"It is in our hands, we have six games to go and we will work hard. Since I came here I was confident and I have passed that on to our players."
 
Hull didn't have a bad side, but, because they did get their chances.

I thought we should have done better in front of goal
 
Great result and i see Fabian Delph got the MOTM i like the fact he doesn't mind having a go from distance.
I didn't see the game today, any reason VK back on the bench?





 
That second goal was a work of art, every player from 1 to 11 contributed in the 20 pass build up.
 
Having looked at that graphic I was mistaken, one of the forward passes I was giving Delph credit for was from Clichy, great team goal.
 
I could watch that again and again.

Best thing fo me (part from the ball crossing the line) was early on when John Stones points to the space where he wants Toure to move into to receive the ball. Brilliant :001:
