About this listen
In this episode, we break down a baffling statistical performance at Pride Park, where Swansea City recorded a staggering 72% possession but ultimately fell to a 2-0 defeat against Derby County.
Despite dominating the tempo and controlling the ball for the vast majority of the match, the Swans were undone by their recurring vulnerability at set pieces. We analyse the two decisive goals from corners—scored by former Swan Rhian Brewster and Patrick Agyemang—and discuss whether Vítor Matos' "possession first" philosophy is becoming too predictable.
Topics covered include:
- Ineffective Dominance: Why Swansea struggled to turn 72% possession into high-quality chances.
- The Brewster Narrative: Analysis of former Swans favourite Rhian Brewster coming back to haunt his old club.
- Set-Piece Woes: A look at the defensive lapses that allowed Derby to secure a clinical league double.
- Playoff Implications: What this result means for both clubs as they battle for a top-six spot in the Championship.
