Match Day Thread Swansea City 1 v 0 Burnley

Fabianski
Naughton, Fernandez Mawson Olssen
Narsingh,, King,, Clucas, Ki
Abraham, J Ayew

Bench: Mulder, VDH, Roberts, Dyer, Carroll,, A Ayew

That should be enough to see off Burnley

 

Not convinced with Narsingh as a starter. more of an impact player for me and will be bullied by Burnley. Would rather see Dyer start or even Ayew on the right. I also think he is going to play 3 at the back again. time will tell

Very tight between Dyer and Narsingh but went for Narsingh as I think he is better at getting the ball into the box for others. I think that J Ayew prefers and is better on the left and never want to see A Ayew as a wide player for us again.

 

Didn't go for Narsingh as I think he is lightweight and where dyer is onl5 foot and a fart is far more physical and will take the bullying that Burnley will try to do. I think he makes more impact coming on when other players are tired and makes a greater impact.

 

Would only play Mawson in a central three.

There is only one way we will lose this and that is if we dont turn up...

 

Fully agree

 

Or if Burnley score more goals than us

 

Yes I know, typo!...............

 

We need to continue the momentum, and we have the home advantage, while Burnley are hit with a fair number of injuries, it's why I have us winning this 2-1 as it's not overly optimistic given the circumstances, Carlos will be targeting a win for sure, and with Fer and Bony out of the way, I see it as a positive going forward, anyway minimum should be a draw, Burnley have had a good first half of the season, but they are running out of steam and form, nevertheless we should not take them for granted...............

 

and another "know"

 

It's these little mac keyboards, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!.................

 

Carlos has righted most of what was wrong on the pitch and as long as we are not complacent and keep playing as we are then i cant see there being a problem......3 - 0 but should have scored more and a comfortable win...

 

The contrast between Carlos and Clement is like night and day, you just couldn't believe the difference in the team setup, one realistic and positive, the other timid and negative, one manager who knows the game, and the other who is clueless, I just hope that we build on this next season and give Carlos a long term contract, assuming we stay up of course.............

Will he start A Ayew and King or one or the other or neither? Imo it could work against us at this point starting both as this could lose the cohesion of the team which has helped win us our points. Right now, everybody knows where everyone else is on the pitch and their roles in the tactial scheme, so having both King and Ayew start may jeopardize that. Another choice is Carroll for Clucas, he links up very well at the top of the pitch but Clucas is more savvy when we're not in possession, so it depends on how Carlos wants us to play.

I fear Burnley but I feel a draw 1-1.

 

100% correct. For me this game is the acid test of how far we have come in the last few weeks. Earlier on this season, teams like Watford, Newcastle and Brighton came to the Liberty and were given an easy ride due to our negative tactics.

I'm fairly certain Burnley will know they've been in a game come 4.50pm.It''s going to be a tough encounter, but if we play well I think we will win.

Prediction: Swans 1 Burnley 0

 

Andre Ayew and King on the bench.

 

Hello ?

 

You ok?
