| The Official Swansea City Versus Crystal Palace Premier League Match Thread 12:14 - Nov 22 with 41432 views | jackharris |
Venue: Liberty Stadium, Landore, Swansea, UK
Date: Saturday 26th November 2016
Kick Off: 15:00 (UK time)
TEAM NEWS
Swansea's South Korean midfielder Ki Sung-yeung has been ruled out for around two weeks with a toe injury. Captain Leon Britton is fit again after missing the draw at Everton with a calf injury, while Jefferson Montero is also available following a hand problem. Crystal Palace midfielder Joe Ledley has returned to training this week after a knock and could be involved. However, Loic Remy will be out for a further three weeks with a calf injury, and Steve Mandanda remains sidelined.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES
John Roder: "This is not the most glamorous fixture in the Premier League this weekend, but it may just be the most important. Two struggling sides under intense scrutiny, both desperate to halt poor runs of form. It's the start of a crucial period for the Swans, who face four of the five teams currently just above them before the end of the year. As has been well documented, Palace have had an awful 2016 in the league - the worst record in the top four English divisions. By the time these teams meet again in early January, both will be hoping to be in a stronger position - starting with a positive result this weekend."
WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Swansea manager Bob Bradley: "We played a good match against Everton, training has been good this week and now we are ready to push on in a strong way. We are ready to take all of the work we have done and make it count on Saturday. With the support of our fans at the Liberty, I see this game as an opportunity for us to build on the good things we did last week."
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew: "I'm an experienced manager and I have been in this situation before. This is my ninth Premier League season and I want it to be 10 with Crystal Palace. A win would make our position look clearer and take the pressure off us. The points we get in the next few matches will be crucial to where we will finish. Our fans are getting frustrated, they are seeing good performances but we are making mistakes we should not be doing."
LAWRO'S PREDICTION Palace boss Alan Pardew needs a win just as badly as Bob Bradley, his Swansea counterpart. The difference is the Eagles have got players we know can perform in the Premier League, but they are not doing that at the moment. Prediction: 1-1
MATCH FACTS Head-to-head The three previous Premier League meetings between these sides at the Liberty Stadium have all ended 1-1. Swansea are unbeaten in their last five home league games with Palace, although four have been draws.
Swansea haven't won since the opening day of the season. Their 11-game winless run (D3, L8) is a club record in the top flight. Bob Bradley has made the worst start by a Swansea manager in the Premier League, failing to win any of his opening five matches (D2, L3). They have claimed just two points from six home games this season - the fewest in the top flight. The Swans have conceded three goals in four of their last seven league matches. Gylfi Sigurdsson has had a hand in six of Swansea's 11 goals in the Premier League this season (three goals, three assists).
Crystal Palace are on a five-game losing run in the Premier League; they haven't lost six in a row since November 2013 (seven defeats). They have earned 22 points from 31 matches in 2016, an average of 0.71 points per game which is the fewest of any team in the top four divisions in England. The Eagles are the only team yet to keep a Premier League clean sheet this season. They have gone 17 league games without one and conceded 12 goals in their last four matches. Palace have scored a league-high eight headed goals this campaign. Wilfried Zaha has provided an assist in each of his last four Premier League games.

well we all know we must stick with Lorente up top with Fer behind him and Siggy and Barrow out wide.
Fulton and cork in midfield and hope we can hang in until January for us to buy some decent defenders. |  |

Swansea score 5 goals.
Four goals are via Sigurdsson free kicks. Amat won the flick on for three of them.
Bradleys tactics almost cost us the points. | |

Sorry to say that I turned it off when it went to 3-3 . I'd seen enough and was bouncing off the walls ! Every emotion and my heart was breaking but I'm so happy we won and so glad for the home supporters but it's clear that bob has no fookin clue at all.
If we pull off a miracle it's down to the players and not bob. FF should not play ever again.
Anyway . I'm just really glad the players got 3 pts ! Well done to all the players and the supporters for today, those that own the club, those that manage the club and those that sold the club can fook off !! |  | | |

I can't take much more of this I'm going to have a heart attack! |
At least we won't suffer the old Arsenal insult....you know "boring, boring Swansea. 1-0 to the Swans"
I'm now watching BBC Final Score - I want to see Jason Muhammed discuss the Swans through gritted teeth! Especially since his beloved Cardiff lost 0-2 at Villa. |  | | |

Absolutely appalling today really. Never seen the like.
Anyway, watched it on TSN2 and at the end the guy in the studio said we should be more worried than CP even though we won as we've only got one quality player. I find it difficult to argue with that.
If we are going to make a fist of it, January is crucial. |  |

Less stressful if he had done his job correctly from the start, they kicked and knocked the shit out of us and mostly got away with it. [Post edited 26 Nov 2016 17:46]

Honestly I was so fooked off I couldn't take it any more. Having looked forward all week for a chance to stream the game every emotion in my head just couldn't deal with just how much we as a club have fooked ourselves up !
It's not that we are crap it's more about how we have got this by pure design and nothing else.
That's a major frustration and has been for the last 3 yrs thankfully we won but only an idiot would think we are in good shape, no need for it though. | | | |
