markjazzbassist Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'm hoping for another strong performance from the squad, but I think Swansea will be a tough match. They are better than their point total suggests. They have been advancing in the Europa League and with Bony and Michu, they have some serious threats. I believe we will win, but think it will be close like 2-1. Here's the lineup I'd like to see Howard Coleman Jags Distin Oviedo McCarthy Barry Mirallas Barkley Pienaar Lukaku Bench - Robles, Heitenga, Stones, Alcaraz, Naismith, Jelavic, Osman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Can't argue with that line up. This will not be an easy game and we need to play our best XI. We can think about rotating the squad for the next 2 home games a bit I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Swansea should allow us to play our football and I think our two of Barry and McCarthy will be too strong for them. Barry,Barkley and Tim have till the end of December to not get a fifth yellow and then they are wiped clean. Wouldn't want to lose ross and Gareth for the same match if they get yellows but I will take the risk for this game and rest Ross for the Sunderland game. Think we will be to strong all over the park and can see a 0-2 win Ross and lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rusty747 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 True, and I believe we will get them. Under dithering Davie I would have been worried but now I have a lot more confidence in the team to go out and win a tricky game.

Bailey Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I think people might be underestimating Swansea a little. They are also a very good team who just aren't quite firing on all cylinders just yet, especially considering they are trying to integrate a lot of new faces and cope with the burden of the Europa League. From what I have seen they have played a lot better than their results suggest and it should be a good game. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time we played them under Moyes we completely shut them down and made them look an extremely poor side. Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Bony is finally in form, Michu is still looking excellent. Their downfall though is Vorm their keeper is out with injury, so hopefully we can terrorize that backup keeper and get some goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Michu's a doubt tomorrow btw. Been very poor this season by all accounts (though I've not seen any Swansea game live). Two goals in twelve league games.....wouldn't bother me at all if he played, looking like a classic one season wonder. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Michu for them is very like Jellyfish has been for us. One season great, and then back into the ranks of mediocrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have my daughter and her partner over for an early Christmas dinner tomorrow (before she goes into hospital to have the new Evertonian induced on Monday) ...partner is Polish and always brings a decent supply of Polish beer so by kick off I'm planning to be quite relaxed .

IPA is amazing, get loads of it around here, mostly from small micro breweries but also at the off licence. Sorry for going off topic, anything to keep my mind off the game later on today.

Guest Nikica Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Swansea are a good team who play lovely football. Their points tally is not reflective of their performances this season, or their true level. They are probably the 8th or 9th best team in the league, and they play some of the best football when on song. This could be a difficult game, but Laudrup v Martinez is mouthwatering - the thought of these two tactically erudite foreigners pitting wits against each other (now Martinez is at a strong club) is lovely. Both of them are very well versed in the technical game and tomorrow could be a belter. In light of the above and how football generally works I predict a dull as fuck 0-0 draw. Oh, and congrats to you as well, MikeO. You seem a nice guy and it's great that you have such a big family.

Cornish Steve Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Another thing to remember is that Martinez used to manage Swansea. Not only does he know their style of play, but he created it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
