Swansea. What a shame. Lovely small club, promoted to PL. Get big name manager. Do exceedingly well considering budget. Sell best players. Don’t re-invest. Manager wants better players, owners want profits, manager resigns.
Then it is all downhill. Managers come and go, results don’t improve. Relegation highly likely.
So far this season Swansea have had 3 managers and are in dire straits (60 y.o. Mark Knopfler as their play maker). That’s what happens with crap owners. It could happen to any club.
Arsenal. What makes our club special? A history of careful stewardship. What would have happened had Usamov taken control? We will never know.
Today’s game is a potential banana skin. Swansea have some confidence after their win over CP. They also have a new, very good manager in Paul Clement, Quite why he left Bayern Munich where he was assistant manager to take over at Swansea is a mystery . At Derby, he only lost once in 19 games!
We have the usual injury list but welcome back some faces. Hector and Kos return having put pen to paper. I would play Gibbs and give Monreal a rest
My Team:
Cech
Bellerin Mustafi Koscielny Gibbs
Ramsey Xhaka Coquelin
Perez Sanchez Ozil
Why drop Iwobi? I don’t know, just so Ramsey can get a mother game under his belt. There is likely to be a midfield battle and we are away so I would pack the midfield, hence Coq/Xhaka.
We need to win today (as always) but it will be no easy victory.
