Michael Laudrup

Swansea’s latest Premier League match saw them losing 3-1 against Tottenham which extends their run of winless encounters to 8 and they are just barely above the bottom relegation zone of the standings.

The last triumph of Swansea in the league was back in December and after their match against Tottenham concluded, the Danish tactician still had some positive things to recap about his squad.

"I thought we were the better side for half-an-hour.

Swansea manager Michael Laudrup has revealed that his team cannot be faulted for the performance against Manchester City. His team lost 3-2 against the title challengers, which was pushed them into the bottom half of the table.

Swansea have not been in this position since the arrival of Laudrup and the pressure is on the former Barcelona man to deliver the results. Laudrup spent a lot of money in the summer in order to strengthen the squad due to the first European campaign in the Europa league.

David Silva picked up a calf injury during Manchester City’s Champions League match against CSKA Moscow which saw the Premier League team winning with a comfortable 5-2 final scoreboard. The injury has not allowed the Spanish midfielder on being featured for any of the club’s 6 latest matches.

The injury however does have a silver lining as Samir Nasri has made a breakthrough into the main squad of the club and not only but that his performances have in the Premier League have had a major difference since Silva was hit with the calf injury.

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson recently released an autobiography he criticised several of his former players including stars like David Beckham and Roy Keane.

There were a lot of details about the confrontations that took place in the dressing room. Swansea manager Michael Laudrup is of the opinion that Ferguson should have never told about such things in a book because things that happen in the dressing room are meant to stay there.

Swansea have made a lot of signings in several areas of the pitch and it was expected that they would be selling a couple of players in order to balance the books. Manager Michael Laudrup, though, has revealed that the club has not revealed any bids for its players.

Key players from last season like Ashley Williams have been linked with a move away from the Liberty stadium with the likes of Arsenal interested in his services. However, a valuation in the region of £ 10 million has been enough to stop Arsenal from making an official offer for the defender.

The manager of Swansea City, Michael Laudrup, has hailed Frank Lampard and has said that Lampard was the guy who took the match away from his side at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Swansea City took on Chelsea in an away game on Sunday and got beaten by 2-0. Frank Lampard scored the second goal for the Blues in that match. That was a penalty goal and it came just before the half time break.

Betting on sports has been a part of the British way of life for a very long time – as some of the top bookmaking firms go back as far as the 1920s, and many have been fixtures of high streets in the UK since at least the 1960s – but unlike other traditional pastimes, sports betting has only grown more popular in the modern era.

While the rise of the internet has impacted drastically on the likes of the movie and music industries, more people than ever before are choosing to bet on sports. So what is the reason for the increased success of sports betting?

After suffering one of the heaviest defeats in his managerial career, the Swansea manager Michael Laudrup has come out and apologised to the fans after the 5-0 thrashing of the hands of Liverpool at Anfield.

Laudrup elected to field a weakened team against Liverpool in the fifth round of the FA Cup, and they were duly punished for taking the five-time European champions lightly. Laudrup made these changes in the hope of keeping his players fresh ahead of the League cup final against Bradford City in a few days time. Swansea will be taking part in a major cup final after a long time.

Sunday’s early afternoon kick off sees Swansea City host Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium.

The two sides met just over a month ago in the Premier League when a late double from top scorer Michu handed Michael Laudrop’s men the three points.

The Welsh side go in to the game on the back of a four game unbeaten run, and currently sit in ninth place in the division, just five points behind their North London opponents.

The home side have no fresh injury worries, with defender Neil Taylor their only absentee.
