Newcastle arrive at the Liberty on Saturday looking up to the Swans and the way that we played last season which they now claim is a benchmark of where they want to be this time around.<\/p>\n
The Swans beat many before them last season when they finished eighth in the Premier League, the best performance of the team.<\/p>\n
Newcastle on the other hand lived with the threat of relegation right up to the last day of the season so I guess that we shouldn’t be massively surprised that they are currently aspiring to be us on that basis.<\/p>\n
We have a good record against the Toon in recent years and will be looking to continue that on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153They (Swansea) do (offer a benchmark of where NUFC want to be). They had a fantastic season last year.” Simpson told their official website<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I think Garry Monk has done a tremendous job in his first managerial role. He seems to have taken (to) it like a duck to water and seems to be enjoying the responsibility.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s got them playing some great football \u00e2\u20ac\u201c looking at the videos in our preparation for the game. They play good football, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got great individuals \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the likes of Montero, Gomis, Ayew, Shelvey, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got a whole host of players.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153And they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a footballing side and we want to be a footballing side as well so it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be a good test for us. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be a good test of our patience and discipline because there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be periods of the game where they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have the ball and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got to keep our shape but we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got to make sure that we match the for that football.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
