David Moyes says he sees Swansea as real purists as he prepares his side for their visit to the Liberty Stadium
“Swansea are real purists in terms of what they want to try to do,” Moyes said in today's Western Mail.
“The style they play is great and I’ve admired what they have done.
“I’m looking forward to this, but it will be a tough game. We will have to make sure we try to stop the rhythm of their play, because if you don’t, then they get into it.
“They are making 500 or 600 passes in every game they play – they are out-passing Manchester United and Arsenal in games.
“So you have to be aware that there will be lots of times in the game where you don’t have the ball because of how well they do it.
“They are doing great in the league – they are certainly going to be in the Premier League (next season), so it’s probably just about where they finish now,” Moyes said.
“Brendan has done a great job and has worked very hard to get into the position he is in. He deserves everything he is getting.”

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week. The lowest paid ‘senior’ player at the club ( he is twenty five) asked for a better contract increasing his £3,500 a week to around £7,000 a week over three years.
Sam Parker hasn’t turned down a new deal, he is willing to negotiate He was a revelation for the Swans for the few games he played this season, and now it emerges Sam Parker has ‘turned down’ a new Swansea City contract. News is thin on the ground, and some of it just incorrect as he looks to involve his representatives in some further negotiations. Plus his current contract runs for two more years.
Swansea City : The vision is clearer, so Jamal Lowe ? There were some worrying moments for the Swans yesterday, on three occasions mistakes from playing out from the back nearly saw the home side score. And is there now a case for Jamal Lowe to be offered a contract at Swansea ?
