Know the opposition

Swansea City AFC nicknamed 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; and 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 now Everton manager Roberto Martinez in League One, a tradition that continues to the present day under Alan Curtis.

We're gonna make it Nine games without a win!

Raw · Dec 28, 2015

No Monk to torment us this time. Let's get a tasty 0-0 lads!

Walters_19_MuFc · Dec 28, 2015

I'd make one change. Jones in for Mata, with Young moving to right wing. Don't think we need Mata cutting in with a midfield three of Schneiderlin, Schweinstieger and Herrera. They're more than capable of keeping the ball. We need width on both sides. Against Chelsea, we looked dangerous when we created 2v1's on the left with Martial and Darmian/CBJ, where we got to the byline and crossed it or cut inside and shot.

Darmian Smalling Jones Blind

minoo-utd · Dec 28, 2015

First win after 8 fecking games. Should be with a new coach hopefully.
December has fecking gone let's start the year with a win.

bosnian_red · Dec 28, 2015

If we can't beat fecking swansea at Old Trafford, and show a bit of attacking intent...

De Gea
Young Smalling Blind Darmian
Schneiderlin Herrera
Rooney Mata Memphis
Martial

More what I want with a mixture of what LvG would do. Last week I thought I would be amazed if he was still our manager by the time this game came around, but at this point, nothing would surprise me.

De Gea
Young-Smalling-Blind-Darmian
Schneiderlin-Schweinsteiger
Mata-Herrera-Martial
Rooney

subs: Romero, Jones, CBJ, Carrick, Fellaini, Pereira, Memphis

Or put in Jones for Schweinsteiger. Play Schneiderlin-Herrera in the middle, Jones at the back and Young on the right wing.

feck this.

Di Maria's angel · Dec 28, 2015

Our longest win-less streak is 16 back in 1930. Think we can beat it!

As for a result we'll win 0-0.

Offside · Dec 28, 2015

Van Gaal still going to be in charge for this. The farce that is Manchester United :lol:

Hernandez - BFA · Dec 28, 2015

The most winnable game we've encountered for a while, and that says a lot :lol:

If we don't win this, then my brain wouldn't be able to compute. Play like we did just now, and we should win.

MyOnlySolskjaer · Dec 28, 2015

Same team I suppose...

space · Dec 28, 2015

Swansea our bogey team, will be LVG's last game

VanGaalEra · Dec 28, 2015

3-1 win and 3 points

izec · Dec 28, 2015

Gomis and Ayew will tear us apart somehow, oh and Ki will score too probably, the fecker.

C'est Moi Cantona · Dec 28, 2015

People forget we have lost all three to Swansea under LvG, and this is the sort of game we could well struggle in.

1-1.

Sammyjunn · Dec 28, 2015

0-0 or lose

.

WyoManU · Dec 28, 2015

I'm sorry but as long as LVG is around I have no confidence any more. Could be 6 in a row. Hard to imagine.

Feed Me · Dec 28, 2015

5-0 United.

Pyroblazer · Dec 28, 2015

Monk is gone, so we can beat them now, I guess?

But of course we need to score to achieve that.

Obviously United are not worthy of you...

charleysurf · Dec 28, 2015

It might piss off the muppets, but I think United will win this, and hopefully it will kickstart a good January for us. And I hope January includes at least one intro in the transfers...

Reddevilboy · Dec 28, 2015

I hope we lose or draw so Van Gaal will be sacked.

Minimalist · Dec 28, 2015

1-3 Swansea

justboy68 · Dec 28, 2015

Swansea have seemed to have our number in recent times but we simply have to win this one. Tentatively going to predict a 1-0 for us.

Samid · Dec 28, 2015

This is the most obvious 1-2 ever. We are piss poor and Swansea are our bogey team.

Everest Red · Dec 29, 2015

One draw and the optimists are back.

Is 1-1 too much?

Ventura · Dec 29, 2015

I think this will be the magic game, the game where we manage to score a goal. Also, we have DDG.

1-0 it is, then. Goal scored by .... Smalling, perhaps?

because you're probably right.

Stobzilla · Dec 29, 2015

Swansea are not a good side.

SalfordRed1960 · Dec 29, 2015

Saw a bit of confidence come back today so going for a 3-0. An early goal and the weight will have been lifted.

Hopefully the same team that started.

11101 · Dec 29, 2015

Comfortable win to drag us out of our slump in form.

Devil may care · Dec 29, 2015

Swansea won't be the soft touch Chelsea were, they have a more mobile and aggressive midfield that will put more pressure on the ball and make it much harder for Rooney and Schweini who pretty much had the freedom of the park today.

Fortunately like us they don't create much and haven't got much firepower, so we should be able to get another 0-0.

pseudo_canadian · Dec 29, 2015

It'll be another 0-0 borefest and LVG will still have his fecking job because our club is run by a bunch of incompetent assholes.

Can't fecking wait.

Hate to break it to you, but neither are we.

Aston fecking Villa could get a result against us a the moment, we're absolute garbage.
