    Know the opposition



    Swansea City Association Football Club - also known as The Swans, or The Jacks (the reason behind the latter is unclear, but there are two possible origins: one is the reputation of local seamen "Jack Tars" in the early 19th Century, while the other is the black retriever dog called Swansea Jack who rescued no fewer than 27 people from drowning in the River Tawe and Swansea Docks during the 1930s) are a Welsh professional football club based in Swansea, Wales. Swansea were founded in 1912 as Swansea Town. In 2011 Swansea City became the first Welsh football club to gain promotion to the Premier League, and have since built a firm reputation as one of the most attack minded clubs in the league professing an attractive brand of football, starting with former Everton manager and current Belgian national team head coach, Roberto Martínez in League One, and subsequently the likes of Brendan Rodgers and Brian Laudrup. Swansea City's main rivals are Cardiff City, with the rivalry described as among the most hostile in British football - with matches between the two clubs known as the South Wales derbies. And they play their home games at the Liberty Stadium.

    Stupid meaningless games.

    Matić and Lukaku absolutely need to skip this one. Especially Matić.

    Mourinho will have to do some tough choices here, even if that means getting out of the League Cup. I wouldn't start in any circumstance Valencia, Smalling, Herrera, Matić and Lukaku. Tottenham game in four days from this.

    Rest as many players as possible, even if that means that we lose.

    Players that are rested should undergo some psychological therapy and get back into positive mindsets.

    We should play fringe players and the kids.

    Watch Jose play the first team, with Ibrahimovic in a wheelchair up front.

    Just go for 3-4-3 (or 3-4-1-2) to use the players really available effectively, in order to sit back and play counterattack. Didn't understand why he didn't stick to it in the beginning of the first half, wasn't great but…

    Curious to see if Bailly and, specially, Rojo will be forced from injury into this.

    The issue is if he's singling out any player (like Martial or Mata), not because of mistakes, but for the lack of attitude. I mean, will he leave players out of this game because of that, or will he force them into the lineup to correct it?

    If Blind doesn't play this game in midfield, we will never ever play there under Mourinho.

    Also, after this performance, Lindelöf has to play. Throw him to the wolves.

    With Mourinho, who will start first as #6: Tuanzebe, Lindelöf or Blind?

    We should go for this match with a ridiculously boring team. My line up would be

    Romero
    Tuanzebe Lindelof Smalling
    Darmian Herrera McTominay Blind
    Lingard Rashford Martial​

    This is of course if Carrick and/or Bailly not available.

    None of them should start against Spurs.

    Lose 1-0 and let us focus on the league.
