Lambert – Swansea Can Be Tougher Than Manchester United

Paul Lambert says that playing Swansea can be as tough as playing Manchester United

Lambert was speaking after his side gained a 3-1 win over the Swans at Carrow Road lifting themselves into a very comfortable Premier League position.

He said “In a lot of ways playing Swansea is a lot tougher than playing Manchester United.

“Nobody expects us to go to Old Trafford and get anything, but everyone expects us to turn up and win against Swansea even though they are a top side.

“We have now had three fantastic games against them since I have been here and Brendan has really got them going.

“Swansea were very good here last time they came.

“We won 2-0 but they played better than us.

“But we have moved on since then. We have different personnel and a different way of playing.

“Swansea have different players as well, but they are a really good side and it’s testament to my lads that they managed to get three points.

“I thought we were excellent from start to finish,” Lambert added.

“There was a spell in the game where Swansea scored and were coming on strong, but apart from that I thought we were excellent.”
