Siggy is available for selection on Wednesday http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31696369 We have played Spurs 38 times, winning 8 and drawing on 7 occasions. http://www.11v11.com/teams/tottenham-hotspur/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Swansea City Since we have been in the PL, we drew the first fixture 1-1 but have lost the next 6 matches. Time for Garry and the boys to create another first?
Taff I hope you are right and maybe they will be a bit down from two cup defeats over the last week or so. Just seem to be one of the teams we can't beat in the PL. I thought our performance at home was excellent and only lost by a poor mistake from Jazz. If Spurs take their chances and Kane is on his game, with Erickson pulling the strings could be a long night. Nothing for us here I fear and am going for a 1-3. Siggy with a late consolation.
We are due a good result at spurs so im going for a 2-1 win with shelvey with his trade mark long range goal and gomis to get the winner in extra time....happy days..
As long as the players give everything I don't mind what style of play it is. If every player gives 100% we can get something from the game.
In the past both teams have attempted to play flowing football and Spurs have had better players and a more settled formation so have nearly always edged the league wins. Now we are playing 'you attack and we'll defend' it's possible we could get another Southampton type victory.
Flowing football? Just like when we went up there and didn't get a shot on target: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20656733
i predicted two wins in our last two games so let's hope it's also third time lucky. Monk will retain the same formation we played in those games and we'll sneak a 1-0 win.
Yes Laudrop was pleased despite us getting nothing?.............. Regarding this game I think a draw is very very doable!..........
I feel a bit like Lawrensen at the moment. I predicted a Man Utd win and a draw with Burnley and we got 6 points. I would normally go for a Spurs win since it's not a place we have got anything out of recently, but with new found optimism, I'll go for 1-1.
Why do you refer to our most successful manager ever as 'Laudrop'? Are you new to Swansea? His name was Laudrup.
I'm predicting a repeat of a famous 1991 league cup victory at the Vetch which I was lucky enough to witness, with a 1-0 Swans victory but instead of Jimmy Gilligan scoring, Gylfi to get the winner and Kyle Naughton to also have a stormer against his old club.
2 - 0 to Spurs methinks, but I'd love a win that would leave us only 1 point behind them and firmly in our sights.
Well that's a good question, and I'm glad you asked, it's symbolic of what happened, when we 'dropped' him, but it could also signify the way we dropped down the league table before we dropped him too............. PS: You could also say we were never on the 'up' before we dropped him either........
I've said it on another thread so I'll stick to it for consistency. Tottenham 1-2 Swansea Eriksen to score a free kick for the home side, Gomis to equalise and Sigurdsson to better his old team mate and score a stunning late free kick to win it! Happy days
