    In which case you might as well say we'll win.

    Look at the table; this is a Champions league 6-pointer, surely :p

    I would hope Mane would take Long's role, especially if Koeman want's to play a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 fluidly.

    My team would be:

    Forster
    Clyne Fonte Alderweireld Bertrand
    Wanyama
    Schneiderlin Cork
    Mane Pelle Tadic

    Yes can see merit in that team just thought Long could run them ragged for an hour before letting Mane loose on a tiring Swansea defence.

    Or vice versa. Mane is bloody quick.

    Good call...good to have 2 pacy players. Means Long can go all out knowing he isn't playing 90 mins. I wouldn't start Mane...do you think I should call Ron and tell him? :)

    I agree, don't change a winning team too much (especially as, despite results, they are still getting used to each other) - I'd already have vic starting to mark Siggardson, instead of Davis so leave Long in to start. Tell him just to keep running at their back line and throw in Mane on later on.

    Some people not giving Long the credit for setting the tone for Saturday's win. Work rate and aggression from the front enable skilful players time to do their jobs. I agree with Long for first half, Mane second! :)

    I want Swansea to sigh with relief when Long goes off (hopefully after scoring) and then we let Speedy Gonzales at them :)

    Long to start, Mané off the bench. Give Sadio his first start against Arsenal in the cup on Tuesday.

    Yes good plan DTLW he should run riot against a reserve Arsenal defence.

    Bony wants to start his goal account this Saturday, I wonder how many he will get? I'm sure Siggy will feed him well, and Dyer and Routledge will keep your back line busy also. Enjoy the game and safe journey to those that are travelling!.............<ok>
