Is a defeat acceptable against Swansea?

i dont think swansea have quite clicked yet and this is a good time to get them, so no, i wouldnt really accept a loss

Defeat is never acceptable, but losing wouldn't be a disaster as long as we followed it up with another couple of wins.

I think most teams looking for top 4 will struggle @ Swansea, yet take back points with them ala Man utd. So I feel we need to go for a win keep the winning streak going.

We've got better players top to bottom in my opinion. I want a win and will be a touch disappointed if we don't. It's far easier to accept a poor result if you've played well.

If Routledge has a good game I'm a bit concerned for Wisdom but should all be good to watch.

Lucas will help him out

That lets Michu through

Pass the ball well and we'll win I reckon.

Swansea are a very good team so being beaten by them is a possibility, but the idea of it being acceptable is possibly not the right way to put it.

When they were on top form last season they couldn't beat us and we had the likes of Sterling and Shelvey starting matches. We should've won that game.

Not very confident, but I wouldn't say a loss is acceptable.

Much like transfers, league results can only really be judged at the end of the season.
If we lose having hit the bar 3 times and missing a couple of sitters and finish the season 1 point off ucl, the game that would come back in my mind for that point would have been that one.

Yes perfectly acceptable, tbh I haven't been greatly impressed with our performances thus far.. Think we will be six or seventh this season maybe grab fifth spot but no more than that.. We are not what you can consider a team to be frighten of just yet.. Still a bit to go but think we will get there in a season or two.. So at the moment acceptable as I still don't think we are that great yet !!
