..both look good to me SWANS (first half): Gerhard Tremmel, Angel Rangel, Garry Monk, Ashley Williams, Neil Taylor, Jose Canas, Jonjo Shelvey, Alejandro Pozuelo, Pablo Hernandez, Wayne Routledge, Michu. SWANS (second half): Gerhard Tremmel, Jazz Richards, Jordi Amat, Ashley Williams (Kenji Gorre, 73), Ben Davies, Leon Britton, Ki Sung-Yueng, Alejandro Pozuelo (Jonathan de Guzman, 66), Nathan Dyer, Roland Lamah, Wilfried Bony .....with Chico as well.
Both teams look a lot stronger than our starting 11 last season. I think we are in for a very good season P.S. Plus there is Vorm and Chico to come into these teams.
Where is Vorm? Still on hols or not fit? I know about Chico's loss but not heard about Vorm. We have strength in depth and it feels gooooooooood! ...and ppl wanted Laurdrup/Jenkins/'insert scapegoat here' sacked when we hadn't signed anyone in early June (before the window was even open too). So far this is going better than anyone could have dreamed and we know the viKING wants another striker still. After years in the doldrums the good times keep on coming! COYS!
My first team from what I saw today and the reports from the tour. ..........................Vorm.................... Rangel......Chico......Ash.....Davies ...........Shelvey...........Canas......... Hernandez.......................Routlage .....................Michu........................ ...............................Bony................ Subs Tremmel JDG Amat Ki Dyer Britton Pozuelo
Sports Psychology in action. Give him a little taster and self belief but back home to graft before he gets comfy. Lets see how much he wants it now.
I don't think Taylor should come back just yet! Because Davies is performing amazingly and to sub him now could undo some of the progress he made last season. Taylor I think now will be a very good squad player and cover both LB and RB positions. I may be wrong but I just thought Ben looked a bit better today
Also I think we should give a cheeky bid in for Hooper Celtic said that he is unlikely to pay another game for them
I find it strange that our bench looks just as strong as the players on the pitch! As a swans fan I have never taught that.
Agree swan. Ben should start the season as 1st choice left back for me. Taylor has got to earn his jersey back.
Think we'll find that there is going to be a lot of rotation of players next season in the league and cups. We have a very good set of players who will probably deserve to be playing. We do need another up front though as Lita and Moore have gone. We can't rely on bony alone I'm thinking
Laudrup has stated that he is looking for another striker, one who offers something different to Bony. He said that now he has nailed his main targets there is no rush and is prepared to wait and see who comes on the market. I think he feels he might get a bargain towards the end of the window when there is more of a panic for selling clubs to move players on.
