Xen Posted 14 April 2015 Share Posted 14 April 2015 Suicide to play narrow against a team with width who keep the ball well. Remember palace away? This lot are miles better with the ball and will play around us, moving the ball wide and getting their wingers one on one against our full backs. I would actually consider bringing back Simpson and Konch for this to try and negate that. 3 at the back against one striker will surely not be the choice. I'd actually match up 4-5-1 with the defensive full backs. Jeff wide left and Riyad or MA wide right. That means no nugent and JV on his own up top. with a positive attitude, that should be good enough as I don't rate emnes without any decent supply and we must make sure they don't get behind us out wide. the extra midfielder taking care of siggurdson who will float between the lines. We could 'go for it' as we did against west ham. we set up wrong at the Albion. if we're not 'going gung ho' then we must have three in the middle to try and control possession. one up top will do with our style of play. I would caution against a game of 'basketball' against Swansea. They are better with the ball and their defence is better than ours. if we make it a tough game, then I suspect their mindset will be tested to the point where we get on top. They are safe and will likely enjoy an open type game where they can play to their strengths. the idea is that we make it a game they don't enjoy, one which they just don't want to get involved in, mentally. difficult choices to be made, fine lines! If we do go for it and play open, then I won't diss the manager about it. like i said, it's a close call for me which way you go on this. After the success against United, our main problem was that we felt we could simply set up to negate the opposition, rather than impose our own game on them. We've done far better in matches where we set up with ourselves in mind and make the opposition think harder about how to deal with it. For this match, id go for the same as WBA second half, and attack/counter with pace. Swansea are a very good side, but they no longer have Bony and they've got a fair few suspensions and injuries to important players. They're away, and they've got nothing realistically left to play for. I'd be disappointed with anything less than 3 points to be perfectly honest. 1 point is satisfactory but we're fully capable of beating these. People also keep raising the point that they are the only side who have really outplayed us, but that means little. We had a very, very poor game and they were able to capitalise, yes. But if we'd performed like that at any of the top 6 they would have outplayed us in exactly the same way, but they didn't. Heck, take man utd for example. At old Trafford they fully deserved the win and we didn't look great at all. In the reverse fixture however we won convincingly, and we are more than capable of doing the same to Swansea.

foxfanazer Posted 14 April 2015 Share Posted 14 April 2015 I just hope nerves don't creep in now we've got ourselves back in the mix. We have been playing with a sense of freedom recently which has paid off. Yes we've had some luck but we're certainly due some after some of the things that have gone against us this season. Vardy and Nugent will be pivotal to our chances. We still need to cut out these cheap goals we give away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 14 April 2015 Share Posted 14 April 2015 Neil Taylor suspended for sat and naughton injured so can see us getting plenty of joy down the wings. Play Schlupp and vardy on the left with De Laet and Albrighton/Mahrez on the right and have a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On form it should be Albrighton but I have a feeling this could be a good game for Riyad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_LCFC Posted 14 April 2015 Share Posted 14 April 2015 Swansea don't seem to rate us. Here's my favourite off their forum "They were an absolute shambles at the lib......Even taking their current form into the equation......2-0 to the super Swans they are not fit to lace our top 8 boots...they are in 20th position in the prem and will finish 20th unless shudderland get even worse."

We certainly were a shambles at the Lib, one of the worst City performances I've ever seen Winning 2 games doesn't change how easy we are to carve open, a woeful West Brom side certainly should have buried us really. I can see us needing to score 3 or 4 to win and Swansea are no mugs, 0-2 doesn't seem unreasonable. However football doesn't work out like that so who know what could happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fair they did witness our worst performance of the season... If I'd witnessed just that I'd think we were doomed to relegation also.

Wigan, Bolton etc all giving it the big one a few years back, a couple of bad decisions and it all comes crumbling down. It will happen to us at some point even if we stay up.

With Bony sold and Gomis out injured then they lack a proper centre forward. They'll probably play Oliveira up front on his own and there goal threats will come from midfield. Four at the back and please play three central midfielders to match them Nigel. It would be great to see Hammond back to sit in front of the back four and monitoring their attacking breaks from midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truebluethroughandthrough Posted 14 April 2015 Share Posted 14 April 2015 Don't know if their form has been mentioned but it reminded me of a certain advert.

Price at the turnstiles, is not the proof of the position you earn. Plus Swansea dont deserve spiteful comments, many city fans would like to see us reach their quality of football. Plus Clubs like Swansea have earnt their right in the last few years for other fans respect. As a city fan, I wouldn t like us to be known has the jealous and envious group on the terraces.
