Quite a few of Swansea City's players are English, some Swansea players had a higher completed passing rate than Barcelona players especially Leon Britton, maybe Roy missed a trick there?
Roy picked the players who were doing ok in the premier league, unfortunately Young and Rooney weren't up to it and with Lampard and Barry injured there wasn't an able replacement when Parker conked out. Wilshere would have made a big difference, maybe there is hope for the future.
