I thought he was back in trainning with an eye for this game, could very well be wrong though

Ate he is training but has it not come too soon? Thats what I meant..

Atsu palyed well against the Hammers - doesn´t deserve to lose his place.

Lejeune was flying before his injury so i'd start with him and sub him if/when he tires. Start with your strongest team, imo. If Yedlin is fit I'd put him in because he offers more going forward. Shelvey doesn't deserve to walk straight back in. If Perez plays like he can then he'll be a threat (far too inconsistent unless it's to say he's consistently disappointing but he showed how well he can play in the second half v West Ham). Joselu should be able to play the lone front man role away from home much better than Gayle.

To be honest, with their new lads starting, (put your money on Bony to score with the other new fella assisting ) I'd be very happy with a point away from home against one of the teams we'll more than likely be battling with come the end of the season.

Swansea are hard to work out. It very much depends on the game in terms of what I would be happy with in points gained. They can be a good team. They can also be a really clueless-looking team at times. I think this should be one of the away games in which we go for all three points. Shame Rafa isn't there to instruct the players, but I'm optimistic for today.

aye your probably right mate, i just cant warm to him, too hit and miss so far. Aarons was unfortunate not to keep his place after the cup game too

I can remember too many games when they 'ripped us a new one' on their ground.

Yes, but it's a lovely day for revenge!
