When Gus came in, he tried to build a team with a passing game and the style has changed under him. Dont forget Swansea have had this style a long time now and it doesnt happen straightaway. It takes time to get it right. Sometimes you have to go backwards and that is when there is pressure from the crowd. The players must keep working hard and listen to what Gus has to say and the fans must stay patient because it will be worth it in the end. - Ki Sung-yeung, September 2014.
Another of Sunderlands midfield architects from last season, they certainly miss his guile and invention from the middle of the park this season. Whenever the South Korean is in possession, he rarely gives it away and it was the 25 year olds impressive performances on loan in the north-east which salvaged his fading Swansea City career. Now back in the fold under Garry Monk, he began this season with a bang - bagging a priceless opening goal at Old Trafford. He has remained an ever-present in the Swans starting line-up and is proving an invaluable player for Monks side, as he keeps their expansive, free-flowing game ticking over. What Gus Poyet wouldnt do to be afforded the luxury of having the South Korean pass-master in his starting XI just one more time.
