Everton have been really, really poor at defending inside the box. How have Swansea not got a second yet?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Oh my God, how did Swansea not get a second there?!
Great save by Stekelenburg, but the cross was there for the taking for Fer. Everton are still in this match, somehow.

What did Koeman say again about not being impressed with United this season??
This is the first time that Mirallas had a free header, and he fluffs it there! To be fair to him, it was a backwards header...
Borja Baston, Swansea's club record signing, has 1 goal all season. 
It's coming back to bite him now. Koeman has been tactically outsmarted by Clement.
Swansea are dropping deeper and deeper now. They're being put under way too much pressure. I don't think they can maintain this.
I would take Llorente as an option next season..
God no.
We won't bring each player who plays some good matches or score a goal, mate.
Que? We are Manchester United ffs!
Ehh...he's not that bad, to be honest. He has an issue in that he can't last for 90 minutes and can drift out of games, but overall, he complements strength and technique quite well. Plus, he's not a bad goalscorer.
Having said that, his appearances will be as sporadic as they were for Juventus.
SWANSEA WIN
This is the first time that Everton lost in Wales since 1956.

He's a big lug. Do not want.
He has 14 league goals in a struggling Swansea team.
He would be a cheap and different option to what we will likely have if the Zlatan out Griezman in rumours are true.
Lukaku and Benteke are more big lugs than Llorente are. That doesn't mean that I want him here, but he's no mere brute.
We are fecking crap sometimes.
So Swansea safe then yeah? I mean assume they are with the amount of cnuting shots and close ups we had of their fans. Jesus BT!
Why don't we bring Defoe then if we're going by this direction ?
Hoof it to Llorente has a nicer ring to it than hoof it to Fellaini to be fair.
It's not a bad record, but honestly, he's 32. We don't need another old striker in our ranks. If we are to let go of Ibra, we shouldn't get another old striker to replace him.
Portsmouth Div 2 champions. Hartlepool gone.
He has 4 less goals as Zlatan and averages a goal to a similar ratio as Zlatan (about thirty minutes more in a worse team)
Not the worst shout. But we need more.
...Hartlepool so nearly escaped beating Doncaster 2 - 1.
Palace 38
Swansea 35
Hull 34
Next week Palace meets Hull, crucial game for both, while Swansea goes to Sunderland and they shouldn't repeat Hulls' mistake.
Palace can still get relegated after all.

True, but then Newport also won, so unfortunately for them it was academic, good result to go out on.
Yeah..Newport were drawing and Hartlepool safe...... then Newport scored in the 89th minute to secure safety......Stelling will need therapy.....
Swansea manager bleating on about Rashfords penalty again (twice). As if they have never had a decision go their way.
Hull are in big troubles now.
Didn't their goal come after a debatable foul?
Wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool dropped points today. They are prone to do it at Anfield.
Coutinho has already recovered.
C'mon Southampton!
What the feck is Klopp thinking, leaving Lallana on the bench? He is easily their 2nd best player.
With that said, I can see them dropping points here.

Wouldn't be surprised either, but we're usually crap vs the "lesser" teams, and I don't think Southampton are that. I reckon the boys will be up for it today, though
Be interesting to see how Romeu gets on today. Not seen a lot of their games this season but when I have watched them he has done a good job in breaking up play and setting up counters.
Southampton to nick it 1-0
Customary jinx bet on the scousers, they're 3/5 to win.
I'd rather Defoe than him
Agreed. We already have Fellaini to unsuccessfully lump it to as a plan B.
