    my team would be:

    Napoli

    Vorm
    Rangel, Chico, Ash, Davies
    Britton, Shelvey (if fit)
    Dyer, Hernandez, Routlage
    Bony

    Subs:

    Shelvey > Michu (if fit) 45 mins each to get match fit


    if shelvey and michu are sill out then Canas CM.

    Liverpool:
    Vorm
    Rangel, Chico, Ash, Taylor
    Britton, Canas
    Dyer, Michu, Hernandez
    Bony

    Could be wrong , but I just don't see Canas and Britton starting together . If Shelvey and Michu are available it would change my whole starting line up , I just don't see either starting.

    Whatever monk and the board decides is fine with me, If it is decided that we should air on the side of caution and Field a weakened side then there is nothing you or i can do about it. No decision is taken lightly and would have been discussed thoroughly. My feeling is we will field a half decent side with some key players playing and some on the bench that may come on or may not. We play liverpool next and that is the only game that really matters this season, cup matches are a bonus and you use your players according how you are doing in the league and as we are in the relegation mix then some hard unpopular choices have to be made. We may not like it but that's the reality of where we are...

    The reason why I chose Britton and Canas together is because we are away to one of the best attacking teams in this league, so this is a good counter attacking team with bony being a target man using the pace of the wide players with the frightening michu in the middle of the pitch would scare any defense. I feel if we come out against this team we will get thumped. I would like Canas and Britton to be the first line of defence because Liverpool will commit players high up the pitch. I would not have shelvey or JDG in cm for this one it would be suicide because they are too attack minded IMO

    Seems to me Britton and Canas have played together once or twice before with Canas having the green light to attack at will . We don't seem to have a great history with teams like ourselves , that need to keep the ball .I would have throw all my eggs in the FA CUP basket myself , it's an easier gig .

    If we keep a clean sheet , like I expect , we will move on if we score in the 2nd leg. 1-0 for us at Liberty , 2-1 for them in the 2nd leg , I can feel it in my bonys .

    Lukewarm heavily involved in a couple of those videos.

    I see where you're coming from but in regards to the Napoli game we should, at least in my 'expert' opinion go with JJS* *Unless injured. Or even my boy JDG.

    We really could do with a result and I don't mean a draw either.

    It's the Europa. We won't lose 100 million. Attack! Attack! Attack!

    SCFC! 12th man! Sing up mukkas! <ok> (To all supporters!)

    I CANNOT wait. <ok>

    I'm always behind the Swans.
    I object to people like you making our guests from overseas feel unwelcome.

    Re: what happened
    I have always thought for myself and always will.

    I'll leave the unquestioning cheer leading of the board, Monk, Ben Davies' family(!) etc. to those who are the 100% authentic, genuine, Swansea "clowns".

    I am from Port Talbot and have lived in Swansea for 12 years....not that it makes a blind bit of ****ing difference.

    Change had to be made even if you thought ML was doing a good job or not. <ok>

    Sh!t training methods? Rumours of discontent within the dressing room?

    Had it not been true it would had been denied by HJ via a press conference.

    Whilst the papers talk a lot of crap some of it is the truth and this never came out under Brendan Rodgers or Robbie.

    You can be 100% certain they (the board) did everything they could to get ML to resign, but obviously felt they had to make the change before the game against the scum.

    I NEVER said GM was the #1 man in the world for the job BUT he DOES know his football (and conditioning, allegedly) but listen it blatantly wasn't just a HJ decision it was a decision made by the board, people who all love Swansea City FC. Their track record has been superb thus far not even you could deny that if you've been a long term follower which I'm sure you have. <ok>

    In the meantime, if they feel Garry Monk is not up to the job he will be replaced.

    I didn't mean it as a personal attack because he was from abroad but was he talking bullshit about the club, for example I like most of the Danish posters ...

    Are you supporting the new leader mate? It's a simple question! <ok>

    I have a picture of myself and my son with Garry Monk in my front room....and I told you, I'm always behind the Swans.
    That has got **** all to do with what I think about the way this was handled though...I have explained what I think about that on here at length.....as regardless of my support I think for myself based on the evidence before me.
    I leave blind faith to religious nutters.

    Fair enough pal. <ok>

    And once again apologies for offending the 'foreign' posters I was a bit 'outters' earlier, most of the Danes are top draw, I suppose it's because they understand football and even our club to an extent. <ok>

    At the end of the day when push comes to the shove I don't care about Michael Laudrup, Garry Monk, Huw Jenkins or THE Lee, Lee, Lee Trundle. It's all about SCFC. <ok>

    EDIT - If my own mammy, or best mate were allegedly suing SCFC I'd be tampin' too. Speaking of family my grandfather who followed the club for 50 years and watched the West Ham 'performance' on BT Sport described it as a 'disgrace' and he does not usually have an opinion, win, lose or draw.

    And in the context of the situation (Considering the ability of our players, more than a match for the likes of West Ham) it was one of the worst performances I'd seen from a Swansea City team in years. Worse than the 3-0 at QPR under BR, up there with the 5-1 at Blackpool under Paulo and losing to Exeter 0-1. I had a really bad gut feeling following the performance, I can accept losing games otherwise I wouldn't support SCFC. <ok>

    When you're making Kevin Nolan look world class, you're in trouble (In the PL) but he wanted it more than our lads on the day. Determination goes a long way, and Monk seems to be instilling that fight into the team. <ok>
