Will be interesting to see how we line up , I'd be tempted to go 

                   MOL 

tanner vyner Atkinson Dasilva

             Williams Naismith 

Sykes        Scott            Bell

                   Wells 

A shame we won't get to see him at his peak he definitely has more to come but I'm glad he has got to the prem . 

Gotta laugh at the fans who don't understand that all teams are selling teams unless your in the top 6 , I'm glad he had the plus one year extension. He would of gone for less in the summer given he only just had his break through season.

If the deal hasn't been completed, can Antoine play for us tomorrow.

 

This sounds familiar Emad.... 

I Wouldn't mind seeing pring given a go on free kicks.  Blackburn doing well fouling us and not let have a constant pressure in the final 3rd.

That wasn't from a corner? The corner didn't beat the first man, it was the cross back in we nearly scored from.

 Ah sorry I thought it was a ball from the 2nd ball from the corner , it was pretty much a corner where naismith crossed.

Our corners need a bit of work.

even though we almost scored from one? I have tended to notice we tend to like playing front post flick on's as other than Atkinson we don't really have much height for deep crosses.

Bournemouth potentially getting more money in, Arsenal interested in winger Jaidon Anthony. 

Seems unlikely now they have signed Trossard. 

haha the commentary is classic " Alan Alan Alan!, howl" as Swansea waste a chance.

Seems like Swansea badly need a striker not that I'm complaining. 

yes BELL!!!!! get in!!!!!!!

Sounds like Bell is having a lot of contributions be interesting to hear from fans at the game on how he has played. Taylor Clarke coming on his debut!

Didn't expect that!

Really hope neither Scott ,James or vyner don't get injured.

Great result and it just shows how right Pearson was to avoid loans , brum have 6 loan players . We had 5 academy players play today! 

What a run and cross from Pring!!!

Leading upto the penalty I could feel us conceding no idea why at 2 nil up tanner is far up the pitch and how we didn't stop Bacuna . On the positive side two good goals and good to see us try a different formation.

Them the rules,I personally agree but like salah tother game when the defender had to try to intercept we have to put up with it 

Yep i thought that about the Salah goal too

Very bizarre ref decisions  for the Fernando goal   doesn't even appear to use var and would of rashford clearly interefering with play.

Maenpaa Has got to be up there with the best goalies we’ve had even in the last 20 years. Shame it was quite a brief stint.

Gotta add Heaton there too!

Better than Laurie Cunningham......no chance.

Alas I was only born in 89 , but wow from Leyton Orient to Real Madrid  that is damn impressive!

Tragic he died so young in the car crash .

People forget that he was given a second contract at Real. It wasn’t like he signed and played out one contract, he was there for 9 years. He was treated like a leper from Zidane at Real. I guess he thought sod you and carried taken the money. 
If he wasn’t Welsh would there be so much angst against him on here? 
 

Retiring at 33, says there is something more to it IMO 

Yep I agree with you here if he was English this wouldn't be the case , other than Beckham in the modern era he s probably been the best British  player at Real .

I'd compare him to Owen/Rooney being played too much at a young age.He scored some quality goals at club level.

Put them under pressure and they are very average and prone to mistakes  - what we were doing first half I don’t understand 

Maybe we were preserving energy but the passing was awful as well 

I would say it was a mixture of Swansea sitting back on their Laurels and it getting a bit scrappy suited us better . we only showed attacking intent/urgency  from  the 70th minute .  I think the 4-3-3 helped us stretch the play get weimann into the game , as we were so narrow 1st half and just no cohesion at all.

get in !!!! lets not hold back now

finally a actual cross into the box , make that 2! only took us 70 minutes.

I feel like the more it gets scrappy the better chance we have but we have to string more than 2/3 passes together!

Change of shape?

4-4-2 Naismith CM

4-3-3 I think possibly

Frustrating to give away such a simple goal, Swansea playing there typical Keep ball and playing with purpose. Other than the odd Pring run we had no width at all, we have to stretch the play we won't win the central midfield battle. I'd like to see Weimann go on the right wing so it's a more 3-4-3 rather  then our usual 3-4-1-2.
