Nice preview and that, I always feel better after reading a detailed tactical analysis.
On a side note Bungle, your username sounds much better when you get a Spanish lady to pronounce it- "Boonglay".

Bungle's tactical analysis is beautiful in its simplicity. It comprises 2 main tactical themes:
a) "bite the pillow" and
b "I'm going in dry" (unless its Christmas).
Tends to always frighten the opposition into submission (except over the Christmas period)

TBH i think Swansea are absolutely terrible. I know they play nice football, but its the type we play when we are badly off colour ie going nowhere, passing for the sake of passing.
I dont foresee them causing us many problems tbh, Bony for all his goals is, purely imo, a pretty poor player. Yes if you give him 2 yards to set and stride into a shot at goal its like a cannon, but clever teams and clever defenders/midfielders should be shutting him down fairly simply. His hold up play and general passing is dreadful.
Michu returning will give them a boost psychologically, but just as the recent showings at Villa and 'Pool proved, rushing a player back - however good, like us with Barkley - has often failed to pay off. By all accounts today will be Michus first full training session since this week.
For us its a great chance to give some of the lads coming back from injury some minutes from the off. I expect Coleman to continue at RB, Baines at LB and dont be surprised if we see Stones partner either Jags or Distin. I think its likely we will see the usual 2 CBs, but Martinez may feel that the FA Cup provides an opportunity to Stones to repair a bit of confidence that may have been dealt a hammer blow after the Derby, both in terms of his personal and the teams collective performance. Dont get me wrong, the lad wasnt awful, but for the first time this season I thought he looked a little out of his depth.
McCarthy and Barry will start - we have no-one else. For me, more so than CF, this is the reason why 4th may be a step too far. I do expect us to finish 5th, but with a fixture pile up on the horizon providing we get through the game this sunday may mean that our trusted duo are sapped for energy when we need it the most.
I truly believe that the front 4 should be packed with speed and creativity this weekend. I like Osman, unlike many on here, but I think Sunday will be about getting the ball out wide quickly, especially with Swansea playing such a compact game. Even Routledge seems to be playing inside and he's about as winger like as you get.
Id go Kev on the left, Del on the Right, Pienaar at ACM and Traore up front.
Like all blues im sure, im looking forward to seeing the big man up front. Theres an article on the echo site from some journalist in Russia saying that his link up play is first rate, which is exactly what a CF in our system needs to have in his locker.
An easy but uninspiring 2-0 to the blues.

I think Swansea will approach this game in a sheepish manner.
Accusing Bungle of not doing a proper preview
