Swansea boss disappointed with point

Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers has complained that his side should have picked up all three points in their fixture against QPR on Tuesday, but the match ended all square in a 1-1 draw.

Danny Graham gave the hosts the lead at the Liberty Stadium in the first half, but Jamie Mackie scored the equaliser just before the hour mark.

Rodgers feels his side did enough to win the game, and is frustrated that The Swans did not hold on for victory.

“We have dropped two points, when we are at home particularly,” Rodgers told Sky Sports.

“We normally close the game out and the manner of the goal was disappointing also. It was a long ball up the pitch which we should have dealt with.”

Rodgers believes that his team should have had a penalty when Armand Traore appeared to foul Graham in the box, and was displeased with referee Lee Probert’s performance.

“It was a clear penalty, I have had the chance to see it from a few angles and it was a definite penalty,” he continued.

“We worked the space really well, Luke Moore got into a wonderful position, Nathan Dyer has done well, Danny has bent his run superbly, got a touch and Traore has made a foul. Normally with the referee so close that’s a penalty.

“I thought it summed up Lee’s performance which was interesting to say the least.

“He is a good lad on the circuit, trying to get experience, but he was very inconsistent right the way through, which did not help us,” Rodgers concluded.
