Swansea (a) pre-match thread

If we take 75% of the chances we create we should win comfortably........

sergio to the rescue,hatrick,you heard it here first

I wish you'd told me before I picked my Fantasy team...

Early goal really important in this one, given Swansea don't score many

We don't usually play that well here, so could be a banana skin

Hopefully Palace's win tonight will make Swansea come out a bit more instead of putting 10 in the box.

I'm in the mood for a good old-fashioned City pasting. Up by two inside of 15 minutes and a cakewalk from there.

This will be harder than the derby as Swansea will have a go and won't park the bus

Top v bottom, what could possibly go wrong?
In previous seasons, City were often guilty of taking their foot of the pedal, I'm not sure Pep will allow any drop in performance, keep playing the same way, press the opposition and wear them down. This should be no more challenging than OT

When teams have "had a go" they've been twatted for 4,5,6,7. When teams park the bus... 2-1. Clearly it's more difficult against a parked bus, that's why we moan about it. If we happen to catch a team "having a go" on one of their crazy clinical days, then yeah we can lose. But if not, it's an easy win barring some outrageously bad finishing from ourselves.

I went last year for the league cup game. We went to Wine Street, which is a long stretch of boozers in the City Centre. An irish boozer called Jack Murphy's is a good place for a few pre match scoops. Heading to Wine street for about 4 ish tomorrow hopefully. (Does help that I'm working in Bristol though)
There is a Harvesters (correct me if I'm wrong) right outside the away end but it will obviously be heaving.

I live down here’s now. The street is actually called Wind Street, might make a difference if you’re looking for it in Google Maps. Lots of bars and restaurants there. For something more characterful I’d suggest the No Sign Wine Bar in the middle of Wind Street. For those that prefer cheap and cheerful, a Weatherspoons is next door (Bank Statement). To get to Wind St, from the train station, just walk straight out the main entrance and down High Street, past the castle, and you’ll see Yates’, which is the start of it.

No fear with this one tonight. They will have a go and we will pick them off.

0-5
