The Premier League have now announced the Match Day officials that will take charge of the game against Stoke City this Monday.

we've never beaten stoke away in the premier league, barely beaten them away from at home in last 30 years either i don't think. theyre just hitting form as well and i can't see us getting anything from this. I just hope we drop Routledge, keep the defence and start Llorente again.
 
I'm increasingly worried that this game could be one of those 3-0 defeats where we get nothing going. I actually hope we play a diamond with Fer, Cork (maybe Fulton?), Britton, and Gylfi, or any formation that sees Routledge staying in Swansea for the trip.
 
Can't say I'm really looking forward to another trip to the Brittania stadium as it's not a happy hunting ground for us & playing there on a cold Monday evening in front of the sky cameras will be real challenge for both our players and diehard fans.

You never know though maybe Bob will be able to do what no other Swans boss has been able to achieve in recent years & bring back 3 points, just need to keep a second clean sheet in a row & take one of our chances...sounds so simple doesn't it.
 
We've got a dire record at Stoke, never won there in the Premier League so it's hard to feel positive about this one, was hopeful of getting something at Arsenal than this one, and we don't seem to play well on Sky anymore!

Got a feeling we may go 442 and then hopefully, as Brian says, Routledge doesn't start. He really offers nothing anymore, and can't play on the left.

Defence should stay the same, but I would hate to see Bony and/or Allen get one over on us but wouldn't be at all surprised if they do. A point and I'd be happy.

Bony hasn't got going yet for Stoke, but Allen's got a habit for scoring lately, Arnautovic is a threat and so too is Shaqiri, so it'll be a challenge for the back four after quite a comfortable game last week.

Fabianski, Naughton, van der Hoorn, Mawson, Taylor, Fer, Ki, Routledge, Sigurdsson, Barrow, Llorente.

Subs: Nordfeldt, Amat, Rangel, Britton, Cork, James, Borja.
 
Why is it that we can see the players that should be getting the minutes, but the coaching staff can't figure it out? It's so obvious who should be playing, and it certainly isn't Ki, Routledge, and Taylor.

What a shower of sh*t! How on gods earth did Taylor get in the squad. Ki and Fer probably had their best games yet offered pretty much nothing and just because routledge and barrow are fast they are not good players. We are slowly sinking! That's a lie there is nothing slow about us going backwards at the moment! Something needs to change drastically.
 
I can't see what can change. It's all wrong there, right the way through the club. The owners were busy making plans to sell when they should have been fully focused on building a squad good enough for the Premier League, but instead, they recruited badly, and we're second from bottom and deservedly so.

Can't begin to comment on tonight's shower of sh*t either...
