Swansea boss Rodgers full of praise for outstanding Vorm

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers was full of praise for Michel Vorm after their stalemate with Wigan Athletic.

Vorm was outstanding in Monday's 4-0 defeat to Manchester City, making a dozen saves, and Rodgers hailed the Dutchman's vital stop and the work done by the Swans backroom staff.

"Michel is superb," said Rodgers.

"It's also a big credit to the analysts and Adrian Tucker our goalkeeping coach, he had said that Watson scored his penalty last week at Norwich to the keeper's right, and if you look at the penalty he had against us last season in the Carling Cup, he put that to the keeper's right as well.

"So Michel was primed in terms of percentages that that is where he goes and he went to the right side and made a great save. It's something he is very good at, he came over from Holland with a great record of saving penalties.

"He is very accomplished and it allowed us to keep a clean sheet which for a newly-promoted side against an established Premier League side is excellent."
