Swansea (H) Pre-Match Thread

Hope Willy gets a proper run and Pep's not doing the Pelli 2 games thing.

Swansea have a manager who probably knows Pep's gameplay better than almost all other Prem managers.

Still think we'll batter them.

Only changes for me would be Vinny Ferna and Sergio for Yaya Jesus and Otto

i would be tempted to keep the starting line up the same as last nights to be honest. players are in form and confident so no need to change it.

Agree just think we need to get games in Vinny especially , plus Ferna is vital to the way we play to shore us up

3 games in a week, so I don't think we'll see all 3 kids start this one. Would be amazing if they do though!

This.^^^^^^

Bigger question for me is whether Willy plays...?!

Think Swansea will try and press us much higher up the pitch and won't be sitting back unless pinned back. Better organized in recent matches and still quite a threat from set pieces, but if we score quickly, again, it'll be academic.

Yeah I can't see them sitting off after what we did to West Ham, we need to take a look at the Everton game and how they approached it after the FA cup game against the Hammers and have a plan in place to counteract it. The two who will struggle most if we're pressed high up the pitch are the fullbacks so we need to have a plan that offers them a constant easy outball, which in turn should allow us to bypass the first few players in the press and get running at the Swan's backline, worked very well for us earlier in the season in the cup game :)

You can't drop Yaya at the minute mate. He's been fantastic.

Taking the old man to his first game in about 20 years this Sunday. Better put in a performance, although we're both resigned to the fact that odds are we'll be crap and get beat 2-0.

Can't see why the team would be changed from last night. Maybe kompany for stones, although you could argue stones needs games.
