FIRST DEFEAT

Swansea suffered the first defeat of the 2013 calendar year in the recent 1-0 defeat at the hands of West Ham, but the manager Michael Laudrup said after the match that he is not too concerned about this result.

The manager has seen Swansea go on an incredible run of form since the turn of the year. They have managed to secure a place in the League Cup final. They will be playing against lower league opposition Bradford city in this competition, which has made them the favourites to lift this major trophy after a long time. Andy Carroll scored the only goal of the game in the match against Swansea to send them to the first defeat of the calendar year.

IN FORM SWANSEA

The Swansea City attacker Danny Graham has been one of the inform players in the Premier league this season. His form has helped the club get into the top half of the table, while they are also in with a chance of making it into the final of the League Cup.

The 27-year-old recently scored a late goal against Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup to take the match into a replay. Swansea were in danger of being knocked out from the competition due to Arsenal's late goals, but Graham replied with a late goal of his own to save the blushes of the Swansea manager Michael Laudrup.

LAUDRUP LEFT HAPPY

The Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has said that he is extremely happy with the performance of his players after they managed a spectacular 3-1 win over West Brom.

West Brom were coming into the match as one of the inform teams in the Premier league after having recently beaten Sunderland 4-2 to go three points clear into the fourth position. At this rate, they will be able to play in the Champions League next season. As a result, beating such as good team was extremely satisfying for the former Barcelona midfielder Michael Laudrup.

LAUDRUP CRITICISED

The Swansea manager Michael Laudrup has come under criticism in the last few matches due to the inability of the team to get the results. Swansea was extremely praised in the opening few matches of the campaign for the style of football and also for the extraordinary results, which saw them score a lot of goals.

However, the last few weeks have certainly been tough for the former Barcelona midfielder, who is known for his passing style of football. As a result, it is not surprising to learn that the former Getafe manager has said that he will not be changing his style despite the lack of results.

SWANSEA WANT TO KEEP SINCLAIR

The Swansea city manager Michael Laudrup has said that he wants the future of the star midfielder Scott Sinclair sorted out as soon as possible. The 23-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Liberty stadium throughout the summer.

He has only one season left on his current deal and he has been linked with a move to Manchester city. Rather than losing him for nothing, Swansea are looking to sell the player in the summer transfer window itself. Scott Sinclair could cost around £ 5 million for the Premier league champions. The former Chelsea winger has come on leaps and bounds in recent seasons.

BARTLEY JOINS SWANSEA

Swansea recently completed the signing of Arsenal defender Kyle Bartley. The 21-year-old has said that he wants to become a regular first-team player for Swansea city after making his move to the Liberty stadium.

Swansea managed to start the new season in the most spectacular fashion after a 5-0 win over relegation rivals QPR at Loftus Road. It was a great result for the new manager Michael Laudrup, who was in charge of his first game as the Swansea manager. Michael Laudrup’s presence at the Liberty stadium was instrumental in bringing the Arsenal defender Kyle Bartley, who has failed to make the cut at the Emirates stadium.
