ESPN pundit Chris Waddle admits that he loves to watch the Swans as they prepare to cover the clash against Man Utd this weekend<\/p>\n
Waddle also praised Swans wingers Nathan Dyer and Scott Sinclair and believes that the Swans style could hurt Man Utd this weekend.<\/p>\n
Waddle said\u00a0Wingers with pace will always be a huge asset in football and Swansea are blessed with them<\/p>\n
\u201cSinclair\u2019s direct with great pace and he loves to go to past people. He is a right-footed player on the left wing so he can cut inside on to his stronger foot but he isn\u2019t afraid to use his left foot and has the quality to do it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe number of goals he scored last season speaks for itself and he has made the step up to the top flight.<\/p>\n
\u201cDyer is a bit different, more tricky than Sinclair but with the same electric pace and a real crowd-pleaser.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen they\u2019ve got the likes of Wayne Routledge who can come off the bench and is a similar sort of player.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnited have some great wingers, Giggs if he plays wide, Nani, (Antonio) Valencia, (Ashley) Young, and we can expect a real exhibition when they all get together on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure the Swansea supporters will be looking forward to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love to watch teams like Swansea because they play the game\u00a0how I like to see it played.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople want to watch teams that excite, score goals and have players who are free to express themselves on the pitch.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou certainly get value for money\u00a0when you watch Swansea, they get the ball down, have great movement and it\u2019s a style of football supporters want to watch.<\/p>\n
\u201cSwansea have enough in their locker to hurt teams, including Manchester United.<\/p>\n
\u201cMartinez brought Swansea to everyone\u2019s attention,\u201d continued Waddle, who also won three French league titles with Olympic Marseilles.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople remembered them for going up and down the divisions in the early 80s but they had been struggling for a few years.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of a sudden people were saying, \u2018Have you seen how Swansea play?\u2019 And they were getting a lot of publicity.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe brought some Spanish lads in and all of a sudden people were talking about Swansea\u2019s style of football.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m all for it and it\u2019s how we should be showing children to play football. I love to see the goalkeeper passing the ball out instead of just kicking it long.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s won Swansea a lot of admirers, just as it did Blackpool last season.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrendan Rodgers has carried on the good work started by Martinez and now taken Swansea to the next level.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a group of young managers trying to change the game and the way it is being played over here and Brendan Rodgers is definitely among that. He has his system and he is going to stick to that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe United defeat affected Blackpool for the rest of the season when really they should have just forgot about it and moved on.<\/p>\n
\u201cSwansea have got nothing to lose this weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are seven or eight teams involved in the relegation scrap and every single one will know that when they play Manchester United they are not expecting to get anything from the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Swansea players will have watched your likes of Giggs and Wayne Rooney on the television for years and have been dying for the chance to go up against them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey should enjoy the challenge.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnited will have chances, they always do, but they will also know they won\u2019t have it all their own way.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs always in the Premier League it will be down to who takes their chances.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
