Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool not tough away games? we've yet to win in the league at any of them, not even getting a point at City. |  |

We've also taken two points from four visits to Everton and no points from four games at Spurs, while we've usually been pretty good at winning against the teams lower down - Newcastle, Fulham, West Brom, Villa...
The teams we generally lose to away though are those like Stoke, West Ham, Leicester, Watford yesterday, who are direct and don't give us any time on the ball. It's not exactly a new thing. |  | | |

the year we went up in the play offs we lost to all 3 teams away who were in the bottom 3, it's the Swansea way, if we didn't lose games like these away from home and have the odd blip we'd be pushing the top 4 every year |  |

You could say that about most "mid-table" teams, not just us. Also, the team that takes the title usually wins it by fluking a few undeserved wins & draws over the season. | | | |

Quite obviously it's not the teams we play, it's the way that they set up against us.
If a top club play to keep possession and dominate the game against us we try to keep it tight and hit them on the break with pace, Nick a goal etc
We are finding it difficult when this tactic is being played against us at the moment, we couldn't break down a tight organised defence ready to hit us on the counter, Monk had no answer to this against Watford and we were very lucky not to get caught out on 3 occasions.
The problem is, this tactic will be deployed by more of our opponents now more regular
What's amazing is their goal was a typical league 2 lump it down the middle ball that our defence just couldn't cope with 😳 |  |

We were undone by a policy that will catch other teams of a similar quality.
Move onto the next game and don't get caught again 👠|  |

We generally lose to the top sides away, it's just makes headlines and is more memorable when we beat them.
I'm fairly confident we will get more away out of Watford, Leicester, Bournemouth, WBA and Stoke than we will at the big five.
If we had lost 1-0 at Arsenal yesterday, no one would have batted an eyelid. | | | |

Well Watford beat us, Leicester always do us away, Bournemouth is an open book, and WBA and Stoke done us last year away, which is my point. What have we got now compared to last year ?
Because these games definitely seem harder than when we won at Arsenal and Man Utd last year and of course drew at Chelsea last time out etc.
Which makes the losing at top sides away thing a bit redundant.
We do worse away at the so called poorer sides. And I will add West Ham as well, we never beat them away either. [Post edited 13 Sep 2015 20:41]

Leicester
West Ham
Bournemouth
Stoke
Watford 1
Sunderland 1
WBA
Norwich
These are the teams you'd expect to finish below us and i reckon we will struggle to pick up 10 points from 27 | |

Yeah I get that, I'm not saying they are easy places to go.
Don't be swayed by us beating Man United and Arsenal away last year though, it's the exception not the norm. | | | |

Burnley beat man c last season. It happens. Away games are tough. You have to be prepared to match effort and grit and concentrate every second. Yesterday we simply weren't. |  |
