Swansea City manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 on Saturday.
The 48-year old insisted that the Swans will go into the match with a nothing-to-lose attitude, and feels that this approach can help them eke out a surprise result.
The South http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 outfit are in blistering form currently, and are unbeaten in their last six matches in all competitions. On Wednesday, they gunned down the whirlwind West Bromwich Albion 3-1 at the Liberty Stadium, pushing them up to the eighth-place in
the Premier League’s pecking order.
If Laudrup’s troops are able to secure a win on Saturday, it will elevate them above Arsenal in the table. It will also be their first win at the Emirates Stadium.
Although the Gunners are considered to be one of the big guns in the Premier League, the Liberty Stadium boss refused to be intimidated by the size of their opponents.
Instead, he was of the opinion that their underdogs’ status could work to their advantage, allowing them to play more freely and with less pressure.
He also said that he won’t give too many advices to his players ahead of the fixture, as they will already be aware of what is expected of them.
“I think when you go as a smaller team and play one of the big boys you don't have to say too much as the manager,” he told the reporters in an interview.
“The players know they have to perform well, to be organised and to play football. You cannot just defend, because sooner or later teams like Arsenal will score because of the quality they have up front.”
“I know we will do well against Arsenal, and I know we will do well against Manchester United here as well.”
Swansea played impressive draws against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and lost by the slightest of margins against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in a match which could easily had gone their way. However, they lost their last tie 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium
back in September last year.
