Ireland pick up a knock? Weird sub otherwise.

Ireland seems to have had some of the juice that Holman's drinking - he's hardly stopped running and chasing down all game.

WTF, worst yellow card...

Bent!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need a good period of possession right now - seems to be all So'ton at the moment.

Ron Vlaar ‏@RonVlaar4 What a great weekend. #AVFC won, #Feyenoord won, but the most important was that my grandmothers (90 and 86) had a great time in Birmingham!

And to think, he had pretty much packed his bags during the summer...

The thing to remember about Benteke is he's still only 21. Could have an amazing career ahead of him.

What a beast!

Who the hell do you give MOTM to in that game? Guzan - Absolutely rock solid once again, made a couple of key saves and came out to claim every ball. Lowton - Great goal, looked solid all game. Gaining confidence every game. Vlaar - Concrete is the word, but can actually take people on as well. Great first performance as captain. Clark - Solid at the back, dangerous from set pieces. Lichaj - Looked good coming forward, needs to work on final product a bit more. Holman - Incredible workrate. Still needs to work on his passing and final product but gaves 110% the whole game. Ireland - Worked hard in midfield, not everything went his way but made some great tackles. KEA - Probably his quietest game so far, but he isn't our sole route of attack any more. Bannan - Less of the Hollywood passes, looked more dangerous in general. Bent - Got more involved than usual. Looked great in the link-up with Benteke. Weimann - Got a couple of good chances in, but needs to slow down and think a bit more when he gets the ball. Westwood - Didn't see a lot of him. Benteke - Excellent in holding up the ball, missed a couple of good chances but more than made up for it with the goal. Looked sharp and always seemed to find space. Seems like an outstanding piece of business. Zog - Same old, really. Seems to get along with Benteke though, so hopefully he can have a positive influence on him.

Vlaar is already a legend.

**** BEAMING.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Ohhh Benteke should have buried it.

Saw Zog and Benteke having a good old chat on the bench at the start of the game. I wonder if he can have that sort of influence too?

Give that man a round of applause. Still needs to work on his passing and final product but incredible workrate.

Haha, Ron gave Dyer a word or two then...

Benteke and Westwood coming on.

We should look at Benteke for Bent, Gabby for Holman.

Weimann needs to learn to take his time a bit more.

Wow...

Good half. We're actually playing football again.

Great move.

Workrate today is awesome. Making Swansea make a lot of mistakes.
