Play deep against Swansea

[Jims Dentist]

Not much height in the swansea side.

We should get the better of them at set pieces ( if we can win any ! ).

So, don't sit deep, but counter attack? The sitting deep and goading teams onto you is part of the counter attack, no? We need to play exactly as we did in the first half against Arsenal, look to stay tight, defend well but the lesser quality of Swansea should help us maintain possession for longer and not be suspect to the individual burst of quality Arsenal provide. For all Premier League away games, the priority must be a clean sheet, I just wish we had a left sided Ashkan Dejagah; as I'd like to get Alex Kacaniklic out of the spot light for a bit.

When did Martin Jol join the forum?

playing deep is always a risk
