I think a change in playing style would be required

Our approach of splitting the centre backs, full backs a long way up the pitch and looking to dominate the ball means we'll inevitably concede possession at some point in a position that means we're exposed.

When I think of our best performance last season, Man City at home, and our best performance the season before, Leeds away, we were pretty solid and we achieved that by not being concerned about dominating possession but pressing at key points and being very effective when we did turned the ball over attacking in decent numbers.

I thought that style of play would be the basis of our prem season.

It sounds like what I've described above is how Swansea play, so if we're going to try and dominate the ball, which I'm sure we will, I think we need players that can play through their press in midfield. If anything, I'd go for Vrancic in CM, but probably stick with what we had against Millwall.

So, to answer the question
