please log in to view this image For Laudrup this is an extremly important match. A defeat will mean the differences between being in the bottom, with only 4 points after 5 matchs or 7 points with a win and becoming a mid-tabel team. Vorm = Vorm is Laudrup nr. 1 keeper, so he is going to play our Premier League match tomorrow. Davies = Had a nice holliday in Spain. Were only used as substitute, so he will be fresh and ready to bring in some speed in the left side and continue his teamwork with Routledge. Amat = Latest notes: Since Williams is having problems with an injury, Amat will be central defender again, as he did fine against Valencia. The teamwork with Flores worked perfect against the spanish team. Chico Flores = Flores played a fantastic match Thurday. He will do a great job again tomorrow. Especially the fantastic Bruce Lee save in Spain, in the last seconds, is remembered by many fans. Tiendalli = Rangel has just played two matchs against Liverpool and Valencia, he deserve a break. Tiendalli showed Thursday he is 100 % up for the job. Tiendalli passes into the box are also better then Rangel, which will suit Bony and Michu and he has a bit more physical power. Canas = Britton style of play is better against the bigger teams, not a big physical team as Palace. Or as Laudrup said in an interview today about Palace "I expect them to be a physical side, and they will try to take advantage of any possible tiredness from us". Canas did well against Valencia and he will do well again tomorrow. Shelvey = Swansea often lacked the last aggression playing against the "smaller" teams" last season. Shelvey allways gives 110 % in every match and is allways very direct and agressive. He also have a better physical presence then Guzman, which work better against a classic british styled team as Palace. Routledge = Routledge got a break against Valencia. As one of Swanseas best players he will play tomorrow. Pozuelo = Pozuelo played a great second half against Valencia. With Pablo still injured, Laudrup will use Pozuelo. Pozuelo has mainly been used as substitute, but are starting to play 90 minuts, latest against Valencia. Against a team like Palace (quite a compact team/defensive team), a player like Pozuelo can make a difference, either with goals, or assists (as he made against Valencia). Michu = Michu is Michu. He will play every Swansea match in the season. Why, because he want too!. Bony = Bony played his best match yet, against Valencia. Bonys teamwork with Michu and the other midfielders worked really well in Swanseas latest match. Bony bring something different to our attack - bringing brute force into the box - great shoot from the distance - strengthen our chance to score on headers - make space to Michu and players like Pozuelo and Shelvey. He is also a great reinforcement for Swansea when defending against set pieces. Something we need tomorrow.
Bollocks to your team selections, I want next weeks Euromillions numbers Will be interesting to see how close your selection is
If this team is the one that plays tomorrow, then we know that you are an imposer and you're really Laudrup in disguise.
I need the buggers to win 2-0, come on you blues!!! Now what other team that used to say that. mmmmmmm
is Rangel injured, if not he would be in as much as I like tiendalli I think he will be used in the euro, cup matches
I think it will be Rangel at full back and Dyer in for Poz with Poz doing his super sub act. But if you are correct again Jokeren questions will be asked
Rangel is such a stabel player and is rearly injured. We got Rangel and Tiendalli on right back. Rangel is almost 31 years old. He can<t play all 55 matchs this season. Three matchs in 6 days is too much (and we have a match again on Wednesday). My guesses is just as good as you guys.
Ash is still carrying an ankle injury and is unlikely to play a part. Would love Pozuelo to start, he looks a class act. A rested (due to his red card ban) Leon will start ahead of Canas I think. Taylor is back to fitness so will be interesting to see if he figures in Laudrup's plans, although Ben will also be fresh given his cameo against Valencia. Shelvey has shown great character in the last two games and agree with Jokeren - think he will start. Holloway will have picked this game out as one Palace can win - has been quoted as saying they will 'park the bus' (his words not mine) and counter attack. Laudrup will also feel that this is a game we should get something out of so it will be an interesting match; my heart says that we are a far better team and should win comfortably - my head says that it will be a real scrap with the result being decided by defensive mistakes (please Jonjo no! Just No!!!!!!) Am hoping we don't suffer a Spanish hangover because this is a game we should win and three points would set us up nicely for the following weekends match against ARSEnal!
