Season 20/21: The Swansea City v Norwich City Match Thread

[PSumbler]

51% of the votes in the site poll were for a Swans win.

Let's hope the majority are right :lol:

To be fair it's pretty much the same set up (three centre mids) we used against Watford and Reading as well, two of our best performances.

I haven't seen the team yet, who out of the new signings are in the squad

All of them bar Arriola

Hourihane starts, rest on the bench

Not the second yank though, yes?

What the first line says...

He's not joining up with the squad until the weekend I believe

Think Ben can count himself unlucky. However I don't see us having to win too many headers and Kyle is probably better on the deck.

This is the same set up as Brentford. sigh.

Was my thought also. Am hoping that picking Kyle over Cabango is either because Cabango is nursing an injury as others have suggested (even then I would probably have picked Latibeaudiere over Naughton), or because he provides more flexibility to change tactics/formation.

Please don't set up the same as we did against Brentford! If we do and scrape a 1 goal win then I'll give Cooper all the credit available. But I really want to see this team show some ambition tonight and play to win.

what are you on about? Its the same set up as 90% of our games this season

For some reason I was blind to the first line :lol:

Worth a shilling bet that Naughton gets sent off again.

9 mins of stoppage time in the game before

Yes, I understand that. Since the Brentford game I and others have hoped that Cooper would trust the players a little more tonight and play for the win, rather than the play for a draw style tactics that led to such a bad performance against Brentford. The team suggests that's not going to happen.

Hopefully I'll be proven very, very wrong a couple of hours from now.

 

[Jack2jack]

I'm going for a 2-2 tonight, hoping for a win obviously.
I also see the need for us to be right on it from minute one, no messing about.

As ever with those pesky stats, there is good and bad news and I say that under the assumption that you support Norwich or Swansea.

If you're a neutral, it's really just stuff.

Let's focus exclusively on the positives.

Swansea fans, here is the good news... Swansea have conceded just 15 goals after 26 league games this season – all seven previous second tier sides to concede 15 or fewer at this stage have gone on to win promotion to the top-flight, most recently Middlesbrough in 2015/16.

Also, you've got the player on the pitch to watch, because Conor Hourihane has been involved in nine goals in eight league appearances against Norwich City, scoring six times and assisting three goals.

However, Norwich fans, do not despair...

Here is the good news... Swansea have lost their last three league games against Norwich, scoring once and conceding six times.

The last meeting between Swansea and Norwich at Liberty Stadium was a decisive 4-1 victory for the Canaries in November 2018 during their promotion-winning season in 2018/19.

Norwich are looking to keep four consecutive league clean sheets for the first time since September 2017, a run of five shutouts.

Stats your lot.

when you look at our performance against Brentford, it was a bit of a freak compared to how we've bossed the other games. I think it was a nervous performance and they will have learned a lot from it. 3-1 for me tonight fingers crossed
