Brendan Rodgers states that he wants games to be the longest 90 minutes of their opponents lives<\/p>\n
The Swans are preparing to welcome Bolton Wanderers to the Liberty Stadium tomorrow to defend their unbeaten home record and their unbreached home defence.<\/p>\n
Wigan, Sunderland, West Brom and Stoke have all arrived at the Liberty this season and failed to score against the Swans who have taken 8 points from the 12 available on their home patch – compared to 1 from 15 on their travels.<\/p>\n
That record leaves the Swans reasonably comfortable three points ahead of the drop zone with weekend opponents Bolton occupying one of those places so it is important for the Swans to get at least something out of the game to maintain that gap over their visitors.<\/p>\n
Rodgers said: \u201cI\u2019ve been proud of our home record ever since I have been here.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always said I want to make it the longest 90 minutes of the opposition\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cGoals and goal difference is important.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players are very aware that if we are in and around a scrap at the end of the season then it could come down to goal difference.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur record at home is fantastic, but it is more important that we win games because that\u2019s the business we are in.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Wolves supporters showed last weekend that they thought we were just a Championship team who have come up and they should beat us five or six nil.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey didn\u2019t know we are actually a good side and we will prove that this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere it takes us remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have the belief that we can do more than just feature around the bottom end and it\u2019s the belief we have to have.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will do our talking on the field and hopefully come the end of the season that will show through.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
