SWANSEA CITY PREVIEW

The Swans arrive at Goodison this evening for a rather bizarre midweek festive frosty 6 pointer, is it ok to call it that yet? Meanwhile, over in Shelbyville, Shanklys Peoples Front of Jehovah continue to flog themselves with their keyboards in an act of apologist solidarity with a Racist. A (now edited) club statement asking people to consider that he has black lineage, mates and past colleagues was released moments after the verdict was delivered. In an act so LFC it is nigh on impossible to parody their behaviour any more, they also petulantly went on to claim that the judgement was based purely on a United players saying so, completely ignoring the fact the player admitted to calling him what he was accused of. Still, as long as King Kenny can tweet: ''He wont walk alone'' and their lawyers can prove it wasn't said in pejorative sense, there's always room for a reprieve where LFC are concerned. You can almost here the teeth gnashing, the banners unfurling and the feet stomping on Breck Road already.



Brendan Rogers understandably after getting his side to the top table playing a nice brand of footy has found it much more difficult this term against better opposition and much less forgiving defences. Swansea and Everton have both pitifully only found the net 16 times this season so its best not to expect a high scoring game. You never know though, Straqualursi may start alongside Saha and brush these pretenders aside and begin to fire us through Christmas. Ahem... Seriously though, Norwich came along and all the talk was about them trying to keep it on the floor, playing football and look what happened there, we just cannot fucking score and are far too predictable. We need to play a direct game against these, impose ourselves and get right up their little Welsh arses like Blackburn did, or something.



Stand Everton! Beware of the infamous Swansea City Soul Crew enjoying their much to be expected brief jaunt in the limelight and running us all the past the Oak, Chong Hing and Maccies in a fit of ecstatic violence after recording their first ever win against us in any competition. Thats right, they arrive after not winning away in the top flight since the early eighties and after never beating us ever ever ever....*gulp*. We all know what happens here dont we?

      

As ever, our line up tonight will immediately dictate what mood the crowd will be in and what will undoubtedly unfold on the pitch. Its just that predictable. How about rather than chasing a game for what would feel like the 15th time this season, we just go for it from the off and pick two strikers and players who look to be hungry/in form and drop players with fragile confidence. Losing tonight could be genuinely catastrophic for confidence on and off the terraces. Over to you Davey...

Up the Toffs.
