'We've got to be positive'

Tom Carroll has urged Swansea City to draw inspiration from their last two performances against Tottenham Hotspur when they lock horns with his former club at the Liberty Stadium tonight.

The Swans came close to a first ever Premier League victory over Spurs in last season’s clash in SA1, when they led 1-0 until the 88th minute before the visitors scored three quickfire goals to snatch a 3-1 win.

The Swans did not leave Wembley empty-handed when the sides met in September, as the visitors withstood a dominant Spurs display to claim a hard-earned 0-0 draw.

Carroll, who grew up at White Hart Lane, believes that result will stand the Swans in good stead as the clubs face off again.

And the midfielder believes the Swans must look to raise their game against the bigger clubs.

“Last year, we were unlucky to concede three late goals against Spurs,” he tells tonight’s Jack Magazine.

“We were 1-0 up and desperate for the points, but it didn’t go our way. 

“We got a draw at Wembley and we’ve got to be positive going into games against the bigger clubs, as we seem to do well against them.

“It would be great to get a win. We’re at a stage where we need points and wins. 

“If we can create the same atmosphere as we had at the Liberty last season, anything is possible.”
