| The Official Swansea City Versus Crystal Palace Premier League Match Thread 12:14 - Nov 22 with 43139 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.

Why does Bob hate strikers? |
He doesn't hate strikers, he just likes a striker that can pass and score well, and right now we don't have that, so Bradley is using siggy cause he's the best that can do that, Bradley did this in mls and Ligue 2 [Post edited 26 Nov 2016 16:04]

Looks to me like he has Siggle playing like an advanced midfielder. He obviously wants them to tackle more etc. Which I imagine has contributed to his obvious falling out with all the strikers at the club. | |

So he's been doing it at every previous team he's managed, where he has failed to achieve results that put him on the radar for jobs in any half decent league.
Well we can certainly see why. It's sh*t. |  |

Ya he's done it before, but he does use a striker, in a his team before too, so I'm guessing he's going to buy a striker that he likes during the transfer window if he's still around lol | | | |

He's got a striker who scored 15 goals in the best league in club football last season. He's not going to be given the money to buy anybody better. | |

Routledge about as dangerous as candy floss.
Palace are asking for us to score and we haven't the competence or confidence like a nervous virgin. |  |
