DenMan · 19-10-2015 7:29pm #1

Monday nights game comes from the Liberty Stadium. A Swansea win today would take them above Chelsea and Liverpool and into the top half of the table. Stoke could move up to 11th with a victory.

Swansea: Fabianski, Rangel, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor, Shelvey, Cork, Ayew, Barrow, Montero, Gomis.

Subs: Ki, Britton, Nordfeldt, Eder, Sigurdsson, Naughton, Bartley.

Stoke: Butland, Johnson, Cameron, Wollscheid, Pieters, Adam, Whelan, Shaqiri, Krkic, Arnautovic, Joselu.

Subs: Muniesa, Ireland, Wilson, Afellay, van Ginkel, Crouch, Haugaard.

Referee: Robert Madley (West Yorkshire)

Prediction: 1-1

Bit of a pointless game really, though I'll still watch it. Two good sides who will be comfortable throughout the season as usual but not good enough to break into that next level. Nothing at all at stake.

DenMan · 19-10-2015 7:37pm

I agree. Hoping for a good open game.

Very clumsy challenge right in front of the referee. Penalty dispatched! 0-1 Stoke

And congratulations to them! Not an easy place to be, both in contention for UEFA spots so arguably there is some motivation.

Stoke well on top so far. Poor start from Swansea.

Pretty grim fayre so far. The half time "highlights" package shouldn't take too long!

I'm sure they are missing the thrill of avoiding relegation by the skin of their teeth every season!

How does Adam get away with those challenges so often ?

DenMan · 19-10-2015 9:20pm

Reckon Stoke will nick this now. On a great run it has to be said.

You know what I meant.

As a neutral, it doesn't do much for me. If I was a fan of one of those clubs, I'd be absolutely delighted with how they've done.

Swansea have been rather dull tonight. Midtable sides eh?

:pac:

Johner · 19-10-2015 9:49pm

Swansea have been very poor and have given the ball away so easily which is very unlike them. Stoke have done a good job but it's been a pretty poor game overall.

DenMan · 19-10-2015 11:24pm

Was very disappointed with Swansea it has to be said. Shelvey spent most of his game in midfield. Very little support! Good away win for Stoke. Hughes will be pleased.
