Swansea City left back Neil Taylor will miss Sunday's trip to West Ham United after picking up his 5th booking of the season in the 2-0 win against QPR. With a lack of left backs in his squad, Swans manager Garry Monk is fortunate that Dwight Tiendalli is back from injury. Jazz Richards is also available after a solid performance on Tuesday night while Angel Rangel is expected to return after being rested against QPR.

With Rangel almost certain to start at right back, Monk will choose between Richards and Tiendalli to replace Taylor on the opposite side of defence.

I'd play Jazz as left back and bring Rangel back in which is less disruption to the back 4 .Jazz covered for Taylor against Everton in the cup and did a good job behind Montero imo.

I was at that game, and Jazz played but as cover for Rangel. Jazz was definitely right back. Taylor played the game himself at left back. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29216771)

Regardless, I do agree that we should play Jazz at left back this weekend.
 
I think Jazz should be given the start also , but wouldnt count on Monk not giving Tiendalli the start.Who knows , Both might get the start ahead of Rangel
 
I do like Tiendalli as well. Many of our fans kind of look at him as a bit of a doughnut though...and I don't mean tasty!

He's strong and reads the game pretty well. He struggles against out and out pace (as do most full backs), but that's not something that West Ham have in abundance on the wings! I certainly wouldn't slump into a heap of depression if I saw he was starting ahead of Jazz tomorrow.
 
I dont mind nosugarman's idea of Kingsley starting either . Sitting on 22 points after only 14 games opens a lot of doors for Monk to expierment for the sake of the future.Two ways to go imo , play our best all the way through to get as many points as possible or dabble with the young players at the sake of a few spots in the standings . 22 Points from 14 games , I just cant get my happy head around the fact
 
I would like to see Jazz allowed to concentrate at right back as I don't think it is fair on him to keep switching him about.
 
Monk will play Rangel on the right and Tiendalli on the left and keep Jazz as cover for both positions if needed...
 
Jazz has done a good job on the left flank in the past too, so I would like to see Jazz tomorrow instead of Tiendalli as Jazz is better going forward with the ball. Trouble is Tiendalli had a very good first season, but has not been at that level since? Still good cover............<ok>
