Team news, Zaroury, Tella and Jay in for Benson, Barnes and Churlinov.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:04 pm**

Love that line up.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:05 pm**

Full pelt. That's our strongest line up on the understanding that Benson gets at least 30 mins from the bench.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:07 pm**

Come on you clarets!

Looking forward to this game

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:08 pm**

No Darko.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:08 pm**

Same team, with the exception of Vitinho, that destroyed them at the Turf.

Benson been playing very well but today we get the freshness of Tella - not bad.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:09 pm**

Really strong line-up although Benson can consider himself unfortunate

He's been taped up and looking like he was carrying an injury for a few games now IMO, surprised he was starting every game given how many wingers we have. Glad he's getting something of a breather.

Don’t think it’s a question of being unfortunate,the front 3 are picked from Guddy ,Benson ,Tella,Barnes ,Rodriguez,& Zaroury ,it’s just a question of rotation,thing we haven’t been used to up until this season.

Yes rotation obviously although we don't usually play a front 3. Strong squad.

The tape he has been wearing is not for an injury, some footballers wear the tape, not a medical person here, but it helps keep muscles in place I believe. It is more for comfort/superstition I believe rather than an injury.

Do you think having Benson waiting in the wings almost guarantees a goal when he comes on?

He'd be my first name on the team sheet personally but what a player to bring on.

Wasn't aware he's carrying an injury. If that's the case I'm surprised he's on the bench.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:25 pm**

Keep it tight till 60, then throw Benny on to kill them.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:25 pm**

For me our best starting 11, looking forward to this one with probably one of the strongest benchs we've had. COYC!

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:28 pm**

I think Bastien is preferred to Darko on the bench in case one of our midfield trio run out of steam after 3 games in a week.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:28 pm**

Tella starts. Perhaps Nathan Jones is listening to the clear message from Soton fans. I don't think his appointment was met with much enthusiasm so he would be wise to keep them onside

No! but it's a nice option to have later in the game.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:50 pm**

It doesn't guarantee a goal, but if we had to get the ball to somebody if we needed a goal he would be the first one I'd pick.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:55 pm**

No injury issue for Darko, just not selected today

I think someone else called it right, having Bastien on the bench as an extra midfielder, given the back to back fixtures

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:55 pm**

Benson can only be out through squad rotation. It has been working well. They all seem fresh up front.
COYC.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 2:56 pm**

Tough game today. 2 away games in 4 days compared to them having 2 home games in 4 days might play a part recovery wise. Fingers crossed we can maintain our high levels this afternoon! COME ON BURNLEY!!

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:00 pm**

swansea klck off - COYC

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:03 pm**

Afternoon all from a cold sunny day here, three from three would be fantastic.COYC

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:03 pm**

Come on Burnley, let’s get an early lead please.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:03 pm**

1st corner to us. Looking good in posession

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:04 pm**

Swansea pitch and stadium looking tidy.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:08 pm**

All very cagey early doors

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:12 pm**

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:12 pm**

Yes, great goal

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:12 pm**

What a goal.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:12 pm**

Thank goodness Brownhill left it to Maatsen

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:12 pm**

Great free kick from Maatsen!

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:13 pm**

Get in Maatsen

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:13 pm**

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:13 pm**

GET IN !!!!

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:13 pm**

All the goals on Sky Soccer with Jeff Stelling.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:13 pm**

Goallllllllllll wow what a strike Ian Maatsen get in

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:14 pm**

Ian to Josh seconds beforehand: “Observe this”

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:14 pm**

And before anyone speculates on Twitter, they celebrated by miming eating. Not signing contracts

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:15 pm**

More evidence of our coaching-suspect VK/ CB have said to Maatsen and JBG, practice, practice , practice

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:15 pm**

That’s how to take one Josh!

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:15 pm**

Surely Brownhill should have taken it?

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:16 pm**

wtf does a scouser have to do to get on comms as swansea fan

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:16 pm**

Bang just like that 1-0

Probably knows Toshack.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:18 pm**

At last one on target

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:20 pm**

Who says we can't take free-kicks.

Posted: **Mon Jan 02, 2023 3:21 pm**

There a good side Swansea, long way to go in this one
