That's a strong Swansea team

That's a strong Swansea team

Hutton and Taylor in for a torrid time

[Richard]

Just one change for them, 6 for us.

[Risso]

Whelan?! FFS.

[SoccerHQ]

Have they made many changes?

Swansea not playing a striker today. Celina, Routledge, Nathan Dyer and Matt Grimes all starting.

[Toronto Villa]

Whelan?! FFS.

I just don't get it.

Glad O'Hare's got a chance in a fairly strong side. It can be hard for kids to stand out when the whole team's changed and if he can have a good game, he might be a back-up option to Grealish.

Why isn't Abraham on the bench at least?

Why isn't Abraham on the bench at least?

Because he's busy arranging a move to his 90th different team in the last couple of years.

[Legion]

Why isn't Abraham on the bench at least?

Learning how to speak Dingle.

Why isn't Abraham on the bench at least?

Part of the loan deal for cup games

Is this on anywhere or is it just AVTV audio? I’m assuming you can’t watch the FA Cup games on AVTV as I’m abroad and can’t see it.

Would be nice if Hogan looked like a footballer today.

Don't understand selecting McGinn and Whelan today. Both need resting and we have two obvious experienced options on the bench.
