0:00:35 > 0:00:39Good evening. Welcome to a slightly cold south Wales. Swansea were
0:00:39 > 0:00:44beaten for the first time in 11 games on Saturday, and to date
0:00:44 > 0:00:49Carlos Carvalhal's former team come to town. Sheffield Wednesday are
0:00:49 > 0:00:5317th in the championship, so 19 places below Swansea. Kick of just a
0:00:53 > 0:01:02couple of minutes away. I'm joined by my colleagues for this game.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Swansea's third straight we play in the cup. Carlos Carvalhal is nervous
0:01:07 > 0:01:12and has said it is like the Police Academy films. First there was one,
0:01:12 > 0:01:17and now there is too many.Probably from his point of view, yes. It is
0:01:17 > 0:01:20how they have dealt with those replays. Particularly in the last
0:01:20 > 0:01:24row they were very impressive and I think they will be the same tonight.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Particularly with the attacking ethos. They have got attacking
0:01:27 > 0:01:31players in the side, so of course it is setting up a site to go and be
0:01:31 > 0:01:35adventurous.I want to talk about goalkeepers. Cameron Dawson was
0:01:35 > 0:01:42excellent in the first game and made a sensational save.Yes, he
0:01:42 > 0:01:46certainly did. He was brilliant with one particular one, the reflex save
0:01:46 > 0:01:51with his left hand. Kept him in the game. Lucky with the forehand. That
0:01:51 > 0:02:00reflects their was awesome. It was in a good position.22 years old.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03They have 222-year-olds in the squad, which probably helped each
0:02:03 > 0:02:07other.I think it would and the fact that they get on very well.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13Otherwise they would not be in the club together. I think also both
0:02:13 > 0:02:17goalkeepers getting enough time. Whether it is out on loan or at the
0:02:17 > 0:02:20club.Just time to hear from both managers. Starting with the home
0:02:20 > 0:02:27team.Not because the opponents are the worst or better than others, but
0:02:27 > 0:02:38because we have more players. We in the last game we finished with three
0:02:38 > 0:02:47boys from the cup. We have given chances to the boys. But we respect
0:02:47 > 0:02:53the competition and I think our first 11 today is a strong side. I
0:02:53 > 0:03:00think we will play with a good team. We have the chance to come with less
0:03:00 > 0:03:05teams, so the motivation has to also be from inside and the pressure you
0:03:05 > 0:03:09must see from the first minute until the last minute, so the motivation
0:03:09 > 0:03:13has come from each other. And together we must try to make the
0:03:13 > 0:03:24best day for us.So a place in the quarterfinals awaits either Swansea
0:03:24 > 0:03:29in the Premier League, or Sheffield Wednesday of the championship. Do
0:03:29 > 0:03:33you think the Sheffield Wednesday manager, Kevin, they are seven
0:03:33 > 0:03:36points above the relegation zone, do you think he is just finding which
0:03:36 > 0:03:39players he will want to keep our next year and getting some kind of
0:03:39 > 0:03:43balance in the club? Given some of the sides in the championship are
0:03:43 > 0:03:48unlikely to go down.Yes, but of course you have to get as secure as
0:03:48 > 0:03:52you can as quickly as you can. An element is building for next season
0:03:52 > 0:03:56and getting players together before next season. Certainly these sorts
0:03:56 > 0:04:01of games, with that in mind, will tell the manager a lot.Swansea will
0:04:01 > 0:04:04want the momentum they had before the weekend defeat at Brighton to
0:04:04 > 0:04:08continue.I think that is very much the case. It is important that they
0:04:08 > 0:04:11continue that and pick themselves up after the Brighton defeat and
0:04:11 > 0:04:15hopefully that is only a blip for them and they continued their really
0:04:15 > 0:04:18good run at home that they have had recently.These two do not want to
0:04:18 > 0:04:23get any more answers. They want to go and find a hot chocolate. It is
0:04:23 > 0:04:27minus two Celsius here at the Liberty Stadium. It is Swansea
0:04:27 > 0:04:28versus Sheffield Wednesday. I will hand you
0:04:28 > 0:04:32versus Sheffield Wednesday. I will hand you to the commentary team.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Thank you. Good evening everyone. It is the replay that neither of these
0:04:36 > 0:04:40sides wanted, but still a place in the last eight of the FA Cup were
0:04:40 > 0:04:45Swansea haven't been in 54 years and where Sheffield Wednesday are trying
0:04:45 > 0:04:52to get for only the second time in 25 years. The winners, remember, at
0:04:52 > 0:04:57home to Spurs or Rochdale, who must replay themselves tomorrow evening.
0:04:57 > 0:05:03Five changes from both managers this evening. Still strength amongst
0:05:03 > 0:05:07their ranks. Kristoffer Nordfeldt, the Swedish international, continues
0:05:07 > 0:05:13were Swansea. Kyle Bartley comes into the back three. Sam Clucas will
0:05:13 > 0:05:18play at left wing-back tonight. Dyer and Routledge they hope will provide
0:05:18 > 0:05:22the ammunition for Tammy Abraham, who has four goals in his last five
0:05:22 > 0:05:28starts.Cameron Dawson continues with his fourth game in the FA Cup
0:05:28 > 0:05:34in the Sheffield Wednesday goal. Glenn Loovens comes into the back
0:05:34 > 0:05:40three. He reached an FA Cup final in his Cardiff days. David Jones is
0:05:40 > 0:05:44amongst those to come into midfield. There is a return after injury for
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Jordan Rhodes, his 50th appearance for Sheffield Wednesday. Seven games
0:05:48 > 0:05:57without a goal. Once again, if the reunion for Carlos Carvalhal, the
0:05:57 > 0:06:03club that he led to a play-off final and semifinal. Sacked on Christmas
0:06:03 > 0:06:08Eve after three straight defeats. He couldn't do the job on his return to
0:06:08 > 0:06:15Hillsborough. We must have a winner tonight. Stewart Attwell is the man
0:06:15 > 0:06:21in the middle. Great team. Glenn Loovens, Federico Fernandez the two
0:06:21 > 0:06:27captains. And he does have assistance tonight as well, Stewart
0:06:27 > 0:06:33Attwell.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Attwell. With VAR. Tammy Abraham got to hear past Notts County in the
0:06:38 > 0:06:41fourth round replay. Hasn't started a league game since December and
0:06:41 > 0:06:47Jordan Rhodes has had a frustrating time with injury in his back -- and
0:06:47 > 0:06:54here's back to lead the line against the Portuguese international Lucas
0:06:54 > 0:07:00Joao. Swansea saw there are ten match unbeaten run under their new
0:07:00 > 0:07:03manager end at Brighton at the weekend. Looking to pick up the
0:07:03 > 0:07:09batting again and win a replay again. And it will be Sheffield
0:07:09 > 0:07:22Wednesday 17th in the championship, beating as well at the weekend.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25beating as well at the weekend. The winners to face Spurs or Rochdale at
0:07:25 > 0:07:29home in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. Mark Lawrenson to bring warm
0:07:29 > 0:07:34and watching this one with me. What you expect?I'm hoping we get a good
0:07:34 > 0:07:37game, that's the most important thing I think also from Swansea's
0:07:37 > 0:07:42point of view, lost at the weekend, West Ham this weekend, why wouldn't
0:07:42 > 0:07:46you want to win the game? That is the first thing. Wednesday at the
0:07:46 > 0:07:49same. If few bites of the bottom of the championship. In women wouldn't
0:07:49 > 0:07:58have do the confidence very good. A free kick in the championship after
0:07:58 > 0:08:05a foul by Fernandes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:14a foul by Fernandes.A conversation taking place here.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18taking place here. Looks as though it will be Adam Reach with that left
0:08:18 > 0:08:25foot, the former Middlesbrough player, to swing this in. It is.
0:08:25 > 0:08:32Only as far as Butterfield, who tried his luck. By Abraham. Too
0:08:32 > 0:08:39strong for Routledge. Another player by Venancio, the Portuguese player
0:08:39 > 0:08:45brought to the club by Carlos Carvalhal before he left.A free
0:08:45 > 0:08:52kick by Adam Reach. He has got more quality than that.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55quality than that.Not quite as predictable as we all think at
0:08:55 > 0:08:58times.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Not since 1964 have Swansea got past the fifth round of the FA Cup. The
0:09:10 > 0:09:16furthest they have ever been is a couple of semifinals.Weddings they
0:09:16 > 0:09:23really are five at the back. It is not a three. It is flat five.One of
0:09:23 > 0:09:32those was stretching there. Pudil to get the contact.
0:09:32 > 0:09:38get the contact. First corner of the game goes Swansea's way.Why is he
0:09:38 > 0:09:53putting too upfront? -- two.Carroll has taken it short to Routledge.
0:09:53 > 0:10:01Back in from Carroll. Kyle Bartley's header.He actually got too much on
0:10:01 > 0:10:06it. It needed a bit of a flip, really. Having gambled with the two
0:10:06 > 0:10:13upfront, they got caught on the short corner. Two against one.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16short corner. Two against one.Two defeats in 13 games since he arrived
0:10:16 > 0:10:27at Swansea in all competitions. Fantastic, isn't it?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Fantastic, isn't it?We should point out that Swansea have only won five
0:10:30 > 0:10:38of their previous 23 before he came to south Wales. Trying to get a
0:10:38 > 0:10:51second attempt to pull his former club out of the FA Cup tonight.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Another transfer Connor Roberts in the right wingback position, the
0:11:01 > 0:11:10Welsh international. This man, Sam Clucas.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Dyer was taken off ten minutes before half-time at Brighton in the
0:11:24 > 0:11:29defeat at the weekend.I think straightaway Wednesday's problem is
0:11:29 > 0:11:33they are outnumbered in midfield here, with this rigid five at the
0:11:33 > 0:11:36back. Swansea have an extra man on the ball all the time.
0:11:58 > 0:12:10Aimed towards Abraham and stayed onside.
0:12:28 > 0:12:34It is a Sheffield Wednesday through.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40-- throw.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53Luke I
0:13:06 > 0:13:18that was a fair battle. Roberts won it for Swansea.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24it for Swansea.There is a rigid line of five and they are playing
0:13:24 > 0:13:32Joao up front with Rhodes. In the midfield, only three.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35midfield, only three. Consequently, they can't really get out.Away by
0:13:35 > 0:13:40Pudil.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Pudil.No pressure, is there? No pressure on the Swansea player with
0:13:45 > 0:13:50the ball.
0:13:56 > 0:14:03All the way through for Connor Roberts.Started quite brightly.
0:14:03 > 0:14:14Lots of touches, Connor Roberts. Almost 1000 have made the trip from
0:14:14 > 0:14:19Sheffield, which is a stunning effort in these temperatures, with
0:14:19 > 0:14:23the distance.Absolutely. And that white stuff that was falling, I'm
0:14:23 > 0:14:30not having that. He loses points for being like that.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Clucas, featured in the whole team that broke Sheffield Wednesday
0:14:42 > 0:14:52hearts in the play-off final at Wembley under Carlos Carvalhal.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Wembley under Carlos Carvalhal. Just a bit too strong for Ki. Given away
0:14:56 > 0:15:01by Jordan Rhodes, who's got it back now. Certainly Wednesday trying to
0:15:01 > 0:15:08get bodies into that penalty area. In towards Joao. Flicked off van der
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Hoorn and then cleared by Connor Roberts.Wasn't a bad corner, was
0:15:12 > 0:15:17it?
0:15:18 > 0:15:25That wasn't a bad ball either was it?
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Swansea have won their last five games here. The last time they won
0:15:30 > 0:15:39six in a row at the Liberty Stadium, over ten years ago. It would set
0:15:39 > 0:15:44them up nicely for that latest huge Premier League game at the bottom at
0:15:44 > 0:15:49home to West Ham on Saturday. In fact they have three pivotal matches
0:15:49 > 0:15:58in a row in the Premier League.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08Floated in towards Joao. Couldn't make contact, the Portuguese
0:16:08 > 0:16:13international.He looked good in the air, just forgot to make any
0:16:13 > 0:16:21contact!
0:16:38 > 0:16:49All the way back to Dawson in the Sheffield Wednesday goal who made
0:16:49 > 0:16:56his debut under Carlos Carvahal in the Championship. Wednesday have 15
0:16:56 > 0:17:00out and three cup-tied tonight.Do you know how many of those 18 would
0:17:00 > 0:17:06have played in the strongest side?I think plenty.OK. Obviously not all
0:17:06 > 0:17:15of them?No!
0:17:15 > 0:17:24The offside flag is up.He had a lot of time to look across the line,
0:17:24 > 0:17:32George Boyd, as well.
0:17:37 > 0:17:44Van der Hoorn had that effort saved in the first game at Hillsborough.
0:17:56 > 0:18:03Foul on Abraham.A bit better Fernandez, one of the three
0:18:03 > 0:18:08centre-backs looks forward and wants to play it. A lot of teams in the
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Premier League, the back three or four there are so many passes side
0:18:12 > 0:18:19ways. If it is not on for the forward pass that it fine, but
0:18:19 > 0:18:23sometimes it is automatic and all it is doing is delaying the time you
0:18:23 > 0:18:31get forward for the opposition to just sit in.
0:18:32 > 0:18:40just sit in.Clucas. Abraham was the only option.A bit on his heels.
0:18:40 > 0:18:49Wasn't the best of passes.
0:18:50 > 0:18:58Kept Dawson on his toes.
0:19:40 > 0:19:49Loovens' clearance only as far as Routledge.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07Every Sheffield Wednesday player back inside their own half. They
0:20:07 > 0:20:13have only won three games in their last 12. Two away wins in their last
0:20:13 > 0:20:2117 matches for Sheffield Wednesday. Certainly they can be positive, they
0:20:21 > 0:20:28have to have a result one way or the other.13 minutes and not a shot at
0:20:28 > 0:20:36goal - I'll say nothing!
0:21:25 > 0:21:35Cleared by Loovens.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Played in the 2008 Cup Final for Cardiff in their defeat to
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Portsmouth.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03Roberts had time to steady himself. Caught at full stretch by Dawson.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08That was a bit too close to the goalkeeper. A better cross though
0:22:08 > 0:22:19and one touch and in. You don't need any more than two from here.
0:22:43 > 0:22:55He didn't have a viable option there.
0:22:56 > 0:23:04Ki will try and get forward, won't he?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30No sign of the eight goals they scored in their last replay here
0:23:30 > 0:23:37against Notts County.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42against Notts County. Joao did well to pick out Adam Reach. He wants it
0:23:42 > 0:23:49on that left foot again. Butterfield was looking to try and slide that
0:23:49 > 0:23:53through to Rhodes.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36You could see Joao's idea.If it had opened up he might have taken
0:24:36 > 0:24:45Bartley on.
0:24:45 > 0:24:54FA cup replay nothing new to these Swansea players, they needed three
0:24:54 > 0:25:02consecutive replays. If they get that quarter-final berth it will be
0:25:02 > 0:25:08the first time in 54 years.You've got quite early with that stat,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11haven't you?
0:25:31 > 0:25:36I don't think we have seen in both teams one player trying to run in
0:25:36 > 0:25:45behind. Everything's in front of opposition all the time, isn't it?
0:25:45 > 0:25:51Abraham trying to turn away from Loovens who is personalised by
0:25:51 > 0:26:01Stuart Attwell.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26Can Swansea ask a question from here.It has to be accurate. So
0:26:26 > 0:26:34narrow.Sheffield Wednesday have everybody back to defend this. Ki
0:26:34 > 0:26:39trying to get the angle for Carroll to cross, which he did. Abraham
0:26:39 > 0:26:46tried to get his head to it.Clever free kick.Swansea corner.Very
0:26:46 > 0:26:54clever.
0:27:03 > 0:27:09Ki will take it. It was an inviting one. Sheffield Wednesday did well to
0:27:09 > 0:27:12defend that.
0:27:40 > 0:27:47Jacob Butterfield on loan from Derby for the season.Craiky. Crikey he
0:27:47 > 0:27:51was never going to reach that. A waste because they played the ball
0:27:51 > 0:28:00quite well out of defence, Sheffield Wednesday.
0:28:16 > 0:28:30Only Dyer in the centre. And committed the foul in the end.Hmm.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38He has definitely made contact. Didn't seem to be that bad, did it?
0:28:38 > 0:28:47Stood it up as well, Clucas.
0:28:53 > 0:29:05Sorry, nothing in it. The slightest of touches. Dear, oh dear!He was
0:29:05 > 0:29:11always second favourite in that size battle.Well, was he really touched,
0:29:11 > 0:29:14the defender?
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Sheffield Wednesday needed a replay in the third round against Carlisle
0:29:25 > 0:29:36and then beat Reading before these two ties. A Swansea free kick.
0:29:45 > 0:29:50It is a Sheffield Wednesday free kick.Losing control, wasn't he,
0:29:50 > 0:29:55Joao?
0:29:59 > 0:30:05Joao?Leon Britton is back in the Swansea team. He has twice been a
0:30:05 > 0:30:13care taker manager after Paul Clement's sacking.Is he now back to
0:30:13 > 0:30:21player or coaching as well?Just a player.
0:30:37 > 0:30:43That's gone against Sheffield Wednesday.
0:30:48 > 0:30:55Wednesday.I'm just not sure what that was. Jordan Rhodes is the
0:30:55 > 0:31:05nicest guy.
0:31:05 > 0:31:16nicest guy.His 50th appearance for Wednesday tonight.
0:31:30 > 0:31:36Swansea pushing, not really probing.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Lifted in towards Clucas, who improvised. Would have been
0:31:42 > 0:31:46penalised anyway.Yes, his improvisation was really good,
0:31:46 > 0:31:54wasn't it? The first time they have looked to kind of run in behind,
0:31:54 > 0:31:58certainly. With this rigid line of five Sheffield Wednesday defenders,
0:31:58 > 0:32:05that's the only way you're going to break the deadlock.They've been
0:32:05 > 0:32:09defensively drilled, Sheffield Wednesday, since their manager took
0:32:09 > 0:32:17charge. Six clean sheets he's kept since he's been in charge. Took that
0:32:17 > 0:32:23from the wrong place, did he? That moustache needs some work, doesn't
0:32:23 > 0:32:42it? That's your department. It was. The good old days.
0:32:55 > 0:33:07Swansea have scored 11 wins already. What was the statistic, 60 odd
0:33:07 > 0:33:12percent to something?
0:33:22 > 0:33:30Beaten to that. Cleared by Loovens. Now Reach.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Now Reach. Joao is the only player ahead of him. A challenge from van
0:33:33 > 0:33:48der Hoorn.A very good tackle indeed.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Swansea didn't want these replays. Would love the adventure to
0:34:03 > 0:34:08continue.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13continue. You would have appreciated this one.Yeah, excellent, wasn't
0:34:13 > 0:34:27it?Like Lawrence?Arguably.I can say that, you can't.Not at the
0:34:27 > 0:34:37moment.I can vouch for that. Here's Ki.
0:34:37 > 0:34:44Ki. Bartley continuing to try to charge his way through.Never seen
0:34:44 > 0:34:54George Boyd play at left-back before.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57before. They are away from home and obviously they don't want to concede
0:34:57 > 0:35:00early, Sheffield Wednesday. They are playing themselves into the game,
0:35:00 > 0:35:03but you'd is really feel that Swansea are playing into their
0:35:03 > 0:35:08hands.
0:35:08 > 0:35:19hands. Very cautious, aren't they?
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Butterfield was quickly closed down, but Sheffield Wednesday still have
0:35:34 > 0:35:38it with Boyd. Up against Roberts. Have they got it across? Aim of the
0:35:38 > 0:35:46head of Bartley. That almost turned into trouble. In fact, it did. Now
0:35:46 > 0:35:54Butterfield. Three in the penalty area. A cross blocked by Bartley.
0:35:54 > 0:35:59Good pressure from Wednesday.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Good pressure from Wednesday.Jack Hunt, the former Huddersfield
0:36:04 > 0:36:12player. He's going to take the throw. Good early pass from Jones,
0:36:12 > 0:36:17and then a good try from Jacob Butterfield. The dangers still
0:36:17 > 0:36:22hasn't gone. Joao. Nordfeldt was required again to deny Jordan
0:36:22 > 0:36:29Rhodes.That looked really, really good chance. Great ball by into
0:36:29 > 0:36:35Rhodes. Lovely interplay as well from Sheffield Wednesday. Very good
0:36:35 > 0:36:45save. This is the ball coming into Jordan Rhodes.
0:36:45 > 0:36:52Jordan Rhodes. Tripped up, I think, didn't he? Would back him to score
0:36:52 > 0:36:58normally from there.First corner of the game far Sheffield Wednesday.
0:36:58 > 0:37:04Half an hour in. Adam Reach with it. Nordfeldt with the punch. Now can
0:37:04 > 0:37:11Swansea break? Dyer into Routledge. Connor Roberts had burst forward
0:37:11 > 0:37:16from the right-hand side. So play is over. Tammy Abraham. Here is Roberts
0:37:16 > 0:37:23now. Abraham wanted back. That was the intention as well.Needed a
0:37:23 > 0:37:29little more care on the pass. Needed curling round. Tammy Abraham 's is
0:37:29 > 0:37:37in. Good break by Swansea.
0:37:37 > 0:37:43Four goals in his last five starts, Tammy Abraham. Two in this FA Cup
0:37:43 > 0:37:48run so far. Although the strike that he thought was his at Brighton has
0:37:48 > 0:37:53been talked of. That is now an own goal. Let's see what Swansea can do
0:37:53 > 0:38:02from this corner. Van der Hoorn. Cleared by Venancio.
0:38:50 > 0:38:58Spectacular effort.It was spectacular, but when you see the
0:38:58 > 0:39:02replay, look at the run that Tammy Abraham makes. I'll give him the
0:39:02 > 0:39:06spectacular bit, but you will see this from this. Look where Tammy
0:39:06 > 0:39:12Abraham is. Just a little header down to him. Thing is, once you've
0:39:12 > 0:39:15gone for the old spectacular, there is nothing you can do. You can't
0:39:15 > 0:39:23change your mind. A little bit clueless, wasn't he?The winners of
0:39:23 > 0:39:27this type are at home to Rochdale or Spurs and these two meet again in
0:39:27 > 0:39:30their replay tomorrow. You can see highlights from Wembley on the red
0:39:30 > 0:39:40button from 10pm. Lester and Chelsea will be live on BBC One on Sunday
0:39:40 > 0:39:50the 18th of March. It is a 4:30pm kick-off.
0:39:50 > 0:40:00So far, so good.Stewart Atwell does have assistance tonight. Andre
0:40:00 > 0:40:11Mariner is back at Stockley Park.
0:40:12 > 0:40:19If required, VAR is with us and on offer.It the future.It's already
0:40:19 > 0:40:23created a little bit of history, one way or another, in the FA Cup this
0:40:23 > 0:40:26season.But you know what? If they get the decision right, they just
0:40:26 > 0:40:37need to speed it up.
0:41:00 > 0:41:06That's a Sheffield Wednesday free kick. Much to Nathan Dyer's
0:41:06 > 0:41:16frustration.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21Last time Sheffield Wednesday were in the FA Cup quarterfinals was
0:41:21 > 0:41:311997. They lost 2-0 to Wimbledon. Seven points above the relegation
0:41:31 > 0:41:39zone in the championship. Wasn't in their preseason script.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44their preseason script. Butterfield. Good early ball. Lucas Joao, he's
0:41:44 > 0:41:50all alone at the moment. And he went alone. And it needed the
0:41:50 > 0:41:54intervention of Nordfeldt.It is a comfortable save, isn't it? A little
0:41:54 > 0:41:57bit lower on the side would have been more testing, obviously. Does
0:41:57 > 0:42:04like to run at people, Joao, doesn't he?
0:42:06 > 0:42:13he?For in his last six for the 24-year-old. -- four. On loan by
0:42:13 > 0:42:27Carlos Carvalhal at schedules Wednesday.
0:42:33 > 0:42:44Two caps for Portugal.
0:42:58 > 0:43:06Venancio, to the feet of Butterfield. Given away by Reach.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Waiting for some support. And he's got Dyer to his right. And its
0:43:09 > 0:43:17Nathan Dyer! And he couldn't quite reach it. Out came Cameron Dawson.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21Yap, Dawson did extremely well to defend the situation. Wasn't the
0:43:21 > 0:43:27best passers, unfortunately. Does well here.Here is Lucas Joao at the
0:43:27 > 0:43:33other end, trying to create a shooting opportunity. And then Boyd,
0:43:33 > 0:43:39right across the face of goal.Just a little over a hit, the pass, in
0:43:39 > 0:43:45terms of the Swansea break.
0:43:45 > 0:43:50terms of the Swansea break. No substitution?
0:43:57 > 0:44:01Confident goalkeeping from Cameron Dawson. Jack Hunt is a problem here
0:44:01 > 0:44:09for Sheffield Wednesday, the right wingback.
0:44:09 > 0:44:17wingback. Fortunately for Jos Luhukay,
0:44:18 > 0:44:26Luhukay, he has substitutes. So it is the end of Jack Hunt's night. A
0:44:26 > 0:44:29force to change for Sheffield Wednesday with the introduction of
0:44:29 > 0:44:3526-year-old Liam Palmer.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44The one club man, apart from the season on loan a few years ago with
0:44:44 > 0:44:53Tranmere.
0:45:12 > 0:45:20Abraham. A little fortunate there.
0:45:43 > 0:45:48Didn't quite strike it sweetly. Well done van der Hoorn he has come out
0:45:48 > 0:45:53of the back three and attacked the space. And he managed to work a
0:45:53 > 0:45:59chance for Swansea.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04chance for Swansea.Just the one goal this season for Ki. Scored in a
0:46:04 > 0:46:12Scottish Cup Final win during his time with Celtic.
0:46:12 > 0:46:20time with Celtic. Swansea yet to have a shot on target.Hmm.
0:46:41 > 0:46:53It is an evening to be wrapped up. No goals to warm them up yet.
0:47:33 > 0:47:41Into the last five minutes of this first half.
0:47:41 > 0:47:45first half. Swansea have won their last five games at the Liberty
0:47:45 > 0:47:53Stadium. Abraham!Better, wasn't it? The cross was better and Abraham's
0:47:53 > 0:48:03trying to attack it. Just didn't quite get his feet sorted.
0:48:03 > 0:48:07quite get his feet sorted.He scored in both games last season in the
0:48:07 > 0:48:12Championship against Sheffield Wednesday in his loan spell with
0:48:12 > 0:48:16Bristol City where, he scored 26 goals. They know all about him.
0:48:16 > 0:48:23There is no doubt he has got promise. There is no doubt about
0:48:23 > 0:48:29that whatsoever. He has got to be a bit stronger. He just wants it down
0:48:29 > 0:48:36the sides. But the five-man defence, it has been really difficult. It is
0:48:36 > 0:48:49part of the learning process.Still 20 years of age.That is it.
0:49:21 > 0:49:31That is out of play from Venancio. He didn't want a replay. He will
0:49:31 > 0:49:42only want 90 minutes with three huge Premier League games looming.I've
0:49:42 > 0:49:46just found them cautious. If anything Sheffield Wednesday have
0:49:46 > 0:49:58been the better side, created better opportunities - albeit not many.
0:50:00 > 0:50:07Dyer's progress stopped by Pudil. Hmm. Just taken him out, hasn't he?
0:50:07 > 0:50:16Will he book him? No. Could have been worthy of a booking. He has
0:50:16 > 0:50:20made no attempt to play the ball. Completely stopped the rhythm of the
0:50:20 > 0:50:27break as well. You never want to condone yellows, but it's a yellow
0:50:31 > 0:50:36He escapes. Carroll takes the free kick and no problems for Cameron
0:50:36 > 0:50:39Dawson.
0:51:06 > 0:51:14Picked up by Routledge.
0:51:34 > 0:51:39Patient from Swansea. Is there anything at the end of it? Lifted in
0:51:39 > 0:51:45by Carroll. And confidently taken by Cameron Dawson.Starting position
0:51:45 > 0:51:54yet again, poor cross, mind.
0:52:20 > 0:52:29Abraham.Well, his run was good. The first one he has made. First ball
0:52:29 > 0:52:39down the channel. Slowed Loovens down and gots half a yard and
0:52:39 > 0:52:43obviously the finish was poor. He got half a yard easy enough. Only
0:52:43 > 0:52:49jogged him. I would say, Steve, that is the first time they have been
0:52:49 > 0:53:01down the sides of the five-man defence, Swansea.
0:53:01 > 0:53:06We are into the one minute of added time at the end of this goalless
0:53:06 > 0:53:14first half.
0:53:20 > 0:53:26That is the last action. It was 0-0 between these two in the first game
0:53:26 > 0:53:32at Hillsborough and it is the same scoreline at half-time at the
0:53:32 > 0:53:40Liberty Stadium. Nordfeldt with a couple of smart saves, the best of
0:53:40 > 0:53:45which to deny Jacob Butterfield. Sheffield Wednesday have had the
0:53:45 > 0:53:51better chances.Yes and they have looked the better team. There is a
0:53:51 > 0:53:56cautiousness about the way Swansea have approached the game and the
0:53:56 > 0:54:00longer the game goes for - this is heading for extra time and penalty.
0:54:00 > 0:54:05But they don't want that, Swansea don't want that. They have got to
0:54:05 > 0:54:10commit one or two more men forward. At the moment, just not good enough.
0:54:10 > 0:54:18There we go. It is all to play for in the second half. The winners at
0:54:18 > 0:54:28home to Spurs or Rochdale, remember. In the quarter-finals. At the
0:54:28 > 0:54:32half-time interval in this replay, it is Swansea 0, Sheffield Wednesday
0:54:32 > 0:54:330.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46Kevin Kilbane and Mark Schwarzer are with me. There has been the odd
0:54:46 > 0:54:52thing but not a great deal.Yes Mark said that yes, Sheffield Wednesday
0:54:52 > 0:54:55created the better chances throughout, but they didn't really
0:54:55 > 0:54:59do enough across the course of the game. I think they were defending
0:54:59 > 0:55:03deep. I don't think Swansea have done enough to affect the three
0:55:03 > 0:55:07centre halves from Sheffield Wednesday. So it has been stagnant
0:55:07 > 0:55:15in the middle.Do you think the pressure is all on Swansea, can you
0:55:15 > 0:55:17understand Sheffield Wednesday playing five at the back as Mark has
0:55:17 > 0:55:24been alluding to?I can understand it. You would expect Sheffield
0:55:24 > 0:55:28Wednesday to be more defensive and try and contain Swansea and hit them
0:55:28 > 0:55:31on the counter. That is what they have done in the first half. At
0:55:31 > 0:55:35times they got lucky, because of the quality of final pass of Swansea has
0:55:35 > 0:55:42been off. If they can improve on that, Sheffield Wednesday will find
0:55:42 > 0:55:49themselves in trouble.They have had more clear cut chances?Yes they had
0:55:49 > 0:55:56the best chance and it took a good save from Nordfeldt to prevent
0:55:56 > 0:55:59Wednesday from taking the lead.
0:56:05 > 0:56:12It was a good reflex save.When the ball was hit, I said goal. He
0:56:12 > 0:56:16reacted quickly to eliminate the danger. You think Rhodes may get on
0:56:16 > 0:56:25the end of it. But the keeper reacts well.They're a striking duo, Joao
0:56:25 > 0:56:29and Rhodes, but Rhodes is going wide.That is not where he wants to
0:56:29 > 0:56:33play. He is a box player. He wants crosses into the area. Joao's
0:56:33 > 0:56:40movement when he has had the chance has been sharp and he has sharp feet
0:56:40 > 0:56:46in intricate situations. But it has been fleeting.If you look at how
0:56:46 > 0:56:49Swansea have approached this, Abraham has got three centre halves
0:56:49 > 0:56:56to deal with. He is up there on his own. You want to see him, talking
0:56:56 > 0:57:00about Rhodes going out wide, you want to see Abraham do something
0:57:00 > 0:57:04similar and work the channels.I want to see him affecting the centre
0:57:04 > 0:57:17halves. If you look at Loovens
0:57:18 > 0:57:25and Pudil, he hasn't done enough. They have played a high line at
0:57:25 > 0:57:28times, Sheffield Wednesday, he has had opportunities to move behind of
0:57:28 > 0:57:34but I felt throughout the first half, Dyer has been the bright
0:57:34 > 0:57:41spark. I think they can affect it more with sharper movement.They
0:57:41 > 0:57:45make tiet predictable. -- make it too predictable. They know he is
0:57:45 > 0:57:49going to come short every time, Abraham, and he is not rarely going
0:57:49 > 0:57:54to turn. When Dyer does it, it is asking questions and Sheffield
0:57:54 > 0:57:58Wednesday players have to think is it going behind oar coming short.
0:57:58 > 0:58:02Dyer has been effective in he has been coming in off the right-hand
0:58:02 > 0:58:05side and finding himself, you touched on it, pockets of space,
0:58:05 > 0:58:10where he has tried to get on the half turn and he has been the one
0:58:10 > 0:58:14creative spark for Swansea. I think they concealed it more from
0:58:14 > 0:58:19Abrahams. He has it in his locker. Do you have sympathy for Abraham in
0:58:19 > 0:58:27those clips, he has got five Sheffield Wednesday players around
0:58:27 > 0:58:32him and the holding midfield in fronts.Yes, but his job is up front
0:58:32 > 0:58:37to lead the line. He needs to stretch the team more and create
0:58:37 > 0:58:41room for Dyer and Routledge. When he does get the ball, he needs to hold
0:58:41 > 0:58:47it up. There were occasions where he was too easily dispossessed with the
0:58:47 > 0:58:51ball and allowed Sheffield Wednesday to go forward and attack. He needs
0:58:51 > 0:58:56to be stronger and hold up the ball. Sometimes it is unselfish running,
0:58:56 > 0:59:01you may not get on the ball, but what it stretches Sheffield
0:59:01 > 0:59:04Wednesday, forces them deeper and allows your team-mates to get in
0:59:04 > 0:59:09possession. A thankless task. That is what happens. You look at Luis
0:59:09 > 0:59:14Suarez, he doesn't have a big involvement, but look at the video
0:59:14 > 0:59:20of that striker running behind. Where Swansea have had the most
0:59:20 > 0:59:26success has been on the counter. And they have been able to exploit the
0:59:26 > 0:59:33space.Yes Nordfeldt did well. Rhodes was in front of him before
0:59:33 > 0:59:38the corner was taken. He moved out of way. Had he stood there the
0:59:38 > 0:59:44keeper wouldn't have been able to come out. Swansea counter quickly.
0:59:44 > 0:59:48Dyer has been the player, each time he gets the ball they look
0:59:48 > 0:59:52dangerous. Abraham has made that run all night. On that occasion it was
0:59:52 > 0:59:58the right run. Because he was in free space.This first time he
0:59:58 > 1:00:04didn't get too many opportunities to do this, make the run forward. It is
1:00:04 > 1:00:09a poor weighted pass to Dyer. But that was pretty much it from
1:00:09 > 1:00:15Swansea's point of view. The attacks seemed to peter out around the final
1:00:15 > 1:00:21third. I think we expect more from Swansea as the Premier League side.
1:00:21 > 1:00:25If you're Sheffield Wednesday, we have kept them out, had a couple of
1:00:25 > 1:00:31chances, more of the sometime.Yes continue to do the same, keep the
1:00:31 > 1:00:35defence tight. Probably more tighter at times, don't give them too much
1:00:35 > 1:00:39space and at the other end be more clinical. They have had chances and
1:00:39 > 1:00:46they have to make sure the next one counts.
1:00:46 > 1:00:50We're going to talk to the Swansea club captain very shortly, but
1:00:50 > 1:00:54before that we're just looking ahead to the FA Cup replay still to come.
1:00:54 > 1:00:59That's tomorrow night. It is Spurs against Rochdale. The first time was
1:00:59 > 1:01:03that sensational 2-2 draw and we have been spending time with the
1:01:03 > 1:01:07League 1 club at their last training session before they had done to
1:01:07 > 1:01:13Wembley.We've been enjoying the atmosphere, let's hope we get a game
1:01:13 > 1:01:21to enjoy it as well. Henderson!
1:01:22 > 1:01:25to enjoy it as well. Henderson! And that is a fine finish. Penalty to
1:01:25 > 1:01:38Tottenham. Here's an opportunity! Would you believe it the dream is
1:01:38 > 1:01:44alive again.It didn't surprise me, the way they performed. I know they
1:01:44 > 1:01:49are capable of doing that. I support the players, but it manifested into
1:01:49 > 1:01:53a super performance. Against a really top-quality opposition.He
1:01:53 > 1:01:59looks a really good talent. The Man of the Match for me.I checked my
1:01:59 > 1:02:02phone and my mates told me they had given me Man of the Match and after
1:02:02 > 1:02:08I had found out, then obviously I was proud of myself and the team.
1:02:08 > 1:02:14The ball just fell for me. It found the bottom of the corner. We have
1:02:14 > 1:02:21got Wednesday to look forward to because of it. It's everybody's
1:02:21 > 1:02:25dream to play at Wembley. Not many people get to play there, so when we
1:02:25 > 1:02:29do play there, we will cherish it and keep it in our memories. I've
1:02:29 > 1:02:34got 16 of my mates coming and family as well. I've had to get my children
1:02:34 > 1:02:38a day of school to come down. It's an opportunity that I may never get
1:02:38 > 1:02:44again, to be there and to be playing and to be walking out and for my
1:02:44 > 1:02:47children and wife to be there will be a special moment.It's a unique
1:02:47 > 1:02:50situation where there are not many times in your career as a manager or
1:02:50 > 1:02:54a player that you get the opportunity to go to Wembley, unless
1:02:54 > 1:02:59you're obviously at Tottenham.We got to go there with the same
1:02:59 > 1:03:02mentality. It's going to be a tough night, but there is no better place
1:03:02 > 1:03:06in the world to be tested than at Wembley, so it is something that we
1:03:06 > 1:03:10will relish and we are really looking forward to it.It's going to
1:03:10 > 1:03:13be harder, being at their home ground. You never know what could
1:03:13 > 1:03:17happen.You've got to dare to dream. You have to be brave in your game
1:03:17 > 1:03:20planning and the way that you want to play the game. You're trying to
1:03:20 > 1:03:28win a football match, and that's all that's important.So that game
1:03:28 > 1:03:32tomorrow night, 7:45pm kicked off. You'll be able to listen to it on
1:03:32 > 1:03:38BBC Radio five. Highlights will be on the red button from 10pm tomorrow
1:03:38 > 1:03:45evening. Other live sport is England against France on Thursday evening,
1:03:45 > 1:03:49also on the red button. Also on Thursday, you can catch the world
1:03:49 > 1:03:53indoor Championships in the athletics on BBC Two from 7pm.
1:03:53 > 1:04:02Delighted to say
1:04:02 > 1:04:06Delighted to say that the chairman of Swansea has joined us. Obviously,
1:04:06 > 1:04:09you're wrapped up warm. Did you want to see a little more attacking from
1:04:09 > 1:04:13your side in that first half?Yes. We really didn't have a cutting edge
1:04:13 > 1:04:17today. We were lucky with that last pass. A little movement. I think the
1:04:17 > 1:04:21back five from Sheffield have been too comfortable. Everything is in
1:04:21 > 1:04:26front of them, so I think we need to try to obviously gain more chances.
1:04:26 > 1:04:30Is it hard in games like this when aside comes and plays five at the
1:04:30 > 1:04:35back?It is hard because they are looking for the break. They are
1:04:35 > 1:04:38happily sitting in the low medium block and users have to move quick
1:04:38 > 1:04:44and maybe a simple man running behind. At the moment, they look
1:04:44 > 1:04:49very narrow. Which is very difficult. If there is a space, you
1:04:49 > 1:04:53can exploit.In general, is it a positive squad at the moment, thanks
1:04:53 > 1:04:59to the new manager?It is, it is. A clean sheet is always good. But I
1:04:59 > 1:05:06think we should be showing more attacking. I think the manager is
1:05:06 > 1:05:09obviously trying to do that in training, trying to be more positive
1:05:09 > 1:05:14going forward. So I think today you have seen a bit of that, but hoping
1:05:14 > 1:05:21in the second half we come out with more enthusiasm.
1:05:22 > 1:05:25more enthusiasm.You mentioned the positivity. We say a manager in
1:05:25 > 1:05:29Carlos Carvalhal who is bright and bubbly. Is that how you stay to
1:05:29 > 1:05:33date? Is he bringing that spark onto the training ground?Definitely. He
1:05:33 > 1:05:37a man who always sees the positive side in every single situation. He
1:05:37 > 1:05:42knows he is coming to a or team that were struggling and straightaway he
1:05:42 > 1:05:47came in and on his head is the pressure and obviously in training
1:05:47 > 1:05:57he tries to work to be positive and have that freedom.
1:05:59 > 1:06:02have that freedom.How important is next week's performance to get back
1:06:02 > 1:06:05to winning ways and continue that momentum?It is always important. We
1:06:05 > 1:06:09are making history. We have never been in the quarterfinals of the FA
1:06:09 > 1:06:14Cup, so for the players that is an extra motivation. When you lose to
1:06:14 > 1:06:17Brighton, you want to bounce back with the next game, and I think
1:06:17 > 1:06:20that's tonight. It's important to win for these to be since, to bounce
1:06:20 > 1:06:24back and to make history.Yapping here a very long time and I mean
1:06:24 > 1:06:31that as a compliment. Always smooth topped the guests whenever they come
1:06:31 > 1:06:35on. Can you put your finger on why it has maybe been harder for the
1:06:35 > 1:06:39last couple of seasons?It is difficult to tell. You can see
1:06:39 > 1:06:45Swansea has always been recognised by style of play, always played
1:06:45 > 1:06:50attacking, attractive football. We have played with our experienced
1:06:50 > 1:06:55players on the ball and I think we have lost that the last few seasons.
1:06:55 > 1:06:59It was maybe a cycle that has changed because we have players that
1:06:59 > 1:07:03maybe did not suit the style. But I think with every single team it
1:07:03 > 1:07:09happens that you have a cycle where you play a type of football and then
1:07:09 > 1:07:12things change. I think we are in a tradition now so I think we can go
1:07:12 > 1:07:16back to that sell soon.That transition in any cycle is
1:07:16 > 1:07:20difficult, isn't it?It is difficult. You can see it in big
1:07:20 > 1:07:26teams. It happens to them all and Swansea is no different. It is all
1:07:26 > 1:07:29about sticking together and working hard and getting results. I think
1:07:29 > 1:07:33that's what we have to do now.Thank you very much for joining us. We
1:07:33 > 1:07:38wish you well for the rest of the season. It is time for us to rejoin
1:07:38 > 1:07:41our commentary team, and don't forget that there are extra time and
1:07:41 > 1:07:48penalties on the way if this stays a stalemate after 90 minutes. Here are
1:07:48 > 1:08:02Mark Lawrenson and Steve Bowlen. News of a change because Jordan
1:08:02 > 1:08:09News of a change because Jordan Ayew and Martin Olsson are coming on.
1:08:11 > 1:08:17Martin Olsson, the Swedish international who started the
1:08:17 > 1:08:22original tie at Hillsborough ten days ago. That is a positive change.
1:08:22 > 1:08:27It is positive. That is the thing about the rest of the Swansea
1:08:27 > 1:08:34players, when they see that, it is a case of, "Come on, let's go for it.
1:08:34 > 1:08:40Let's try to settle this tie."
1:08:40 > 1:08:42Let's try to settle this tie."It will be beating third from bottom in
1:08:42 > 1:08:48the Premier League with just seven victories all season to get the
1:08:48 > 1:08:52second half of this replay under way.Presumably, Clucas will play
1:08:52 > 1:09:02more central.Also on that left-hand side. 29th meeting between these two
1:09:02 > 1:09:05clubs. The last time Sheffield Wednesday came to the Liberty
1:09:05 > 1:09:11Stadium was in the championship back in 2010 and it finished 0-0. But
1:09:11 > 1:09:22there must be a winner tonight. Preferably sooner rather than later.
1:09:26 > 1:09:29Wednesday just momentarily stopped there. That was not the worst ball
1:09:29 > 1:09:33from Abraham.There was only one player in there and it was IU,
1:09:33 > 1:09:50wasn't it? -- it was Jordan Ayew, wasn't it?
1:09:52 > 1:09:55It was impossible to thread the ball through to him. A positive start,
1:09:55 > 1:10:05though.
1:10:05 > 1:10:14though.Palmer's throw.
1:10:25 > 1:10:41Given away by Butterfield. Here is dire. Jordan Ayew.
1:10:41 > 1:10:45A little more direct from Swansea. Yes, playing at a quicker pace as
1:10:45 > 1:10:51well. That may unsettle Wednesday at the back entrance of the quicker
1:10:51 > 1:10:56pace.
1:11:10 > 1:11:21Clucas, fair to say in his most favoured position now.
1:11:21 > 1:11:25favoured position now. Fernandes didn't keep that in.Complete lack
1:11:25 > 1:11:35of communication.I'm sure he didn't want to bring on his top scorer at
1:11:35 > 1:11:40half-time, but at least he's tried to change something.Well, listen,
1:11:40 > 1:11:52he doesn't want extra time, does he? West Ham at the weekend.
1:11:53 > 1:11:57Sheffield Wednesday are away at Bristol City in the championship.
1:11:57 > 1:12:02They want want the extra half an hour either.No. Presumably, they
1:12:02 > 1:12:08would stay down here in South Wales, would they not? Hardly time to go
1:12:08 > 1:12:13home and come back.
1:12:18 > 1:12:22home and come back.Looking for a free kick which wasn't forthcoming.
1:12:22 > 1:12:29Was between a dive and fault.
1:12:29 > 1:12:35Was between a dive and fault. -- a a fall. He thought he would be playing
1:12:35 > 1:12:41at left-back, did he, George Boyd?
1:12:56 > 1:13:10Van der Hoorn. Still Connor Roberts.
1:13:10 > 1:13:15Trying to credit through to Jordan Ayew. A little unfortunate not to
1:13:15 > 1:13:22get the corner.Yes. Really did well, actually. Better, though,
1:13:22 > 1:13:33Swansea. A bit of movement, bit of thought.
1:13:37 > 1:13:41Sheffield Wednesday are in the middle of of nine games in 28 days.
1:13:41 > 1:13:47This one added to that.
1:13:47 > 1:13:52This one added to that. There are still very much in with a shout of
1:13:52 > 1:13:56adding another one, and FA Cup quarterfinal. Going to either Spurs
1:13:56 > 1:14:11or Rochdale.It's a big prize, isn't it? It really is.
1:14:55 > 1:14:58Venancio with the Sheffield Wednesday throw. Cleared comfortably
1:14:58 > 1:15:06by van der Hoorn.Better from Abraham. Better with the ball, kept
1:15:06 > 1:15:15it.Martin Olsen took a chance.
1:16:05 > 1:16:11The stage Israels certainly set for somebody to produce a moment of
1:16:11 > 1:16:17quality. -- the stage is certainly set for somebody to produce a moment
1:16:17 > 1:16:22of quality.
1:16:25 > 1:16:34Sheffield Wednesday get every man back inside their own half.
1:16:38 > 1:16:44That was good defending by Pudil.
1:16:57 > 1:17:03Ayew positive. Dyer took over. There is no flag. There is now!A lovely
1:17:03 > 1:17:07flicked ball through. Clever. Straightaway, Ayew's made a
1:17:07 > 1:17:14difference. He is actually committing defenders, midfielders
1:17:14 > 1:17:24and Sheffield Wednesday don't look so rock solid at the back. Tight.
1:17:51 > 1:18:02Carroll. Good try. And the follow up is in from Ayew slam! He has only
1:18:02 > 1:18:07Bon the pitch nine minutes, but he has put Swansea in front. Right
1:18:07 > 1:18:11place, right time and the Premier League team lead.Yeah, extremely
1:18:11 > 1:18:17well worked. You said it, the start of the second half the positive
1:18:17 > 1:18:24substitution. And we have got a goal.
1:18:26 > 1:18:32goal. Just check that it's OK. A great strike by Carroll and Ayew
1:18:32 > 1:18:40kept his head. Keeper no chance.
1:18:45 > 1:18:49Game on!
1:18:51 > 1:18:57That is what he was brought on for. His ninth goal of the season. His
1:18:57 > 1:19:02second in the FA Cup. And Swansea have the advantage.They have just
1:19:02 > 1:19:12looked a different team, haven't they from the 46th minute.His first
1:19:12 > 1:19:16FA cup goal was in their first replay back in the third round
1:19:16 > 1:19:22against Wolves.Abraham has looked a different player, because he has
1:19:22 > 1:19:27players around him and he is getting decent service and he is already
1:19:27 > 1:19:32looking a better player. Clucas sat in there, better position,
1:19:32 > 1:19:37comfortable.
1:19:39 > 1:19:42comfortable.As Carlos Carvahal has proved already at Swansea, he is not
1:19:42 > 1:19:54afraid to take a gamble, make a change. It worked against him at the
1:19:54 > 1:20:00weekend, he brought Dyer on after 39 minutes. Bringing Ayew on has
1:20:00 > 1:20:06brought its reward.He has not really gambled, has he? Bringing one
1:20:06 > 1:20:21of his best attacking players on. Who said there is a God?
1:20:21 > 1:20:27Interested to see what they have got, if they can react.Joao fouled
1:20:27 > 1:20:37by van der Hoorn.
1:20:39 > 1:20:50A silly foul, he is not going anywhere.
1:20:56 > 1:21:07It is a long way for a shot certainly.
1:21:09 > 1:21:14Reach and Rhodes are behind this. Jordan Rhodes is certainly assessing
1:21:14 > 1:21:18the situation.It is Jonny Wilkinson!
1:21:21 > 1:21:30Hope it doesn't end up like him. It is on target but in the arms of
1:21:30 > 1:21:38Nordfeldt.Just thrown his cap on it.
1:21:38 > 1:21:42it. The other thing with Ayew, they can't pick him up, Sheffield
1:21:42 > 1:21:47Wednesday. He is going short. Going long. Coming inside. He is just
1:21:47 > 1:21:53playing in that little gap isn't he? Between the central midfield players
1:21:53 > 1:22:02and the back five.
1:22:16 > 1:22:22Reach in towards Rhodes, who is penalised.He is entitled to go for
1:22:22 > 1:22:30it. A little bit clumsy. It's nothing else. Decent ball in from
1:22:30 > 1:22:35Reach.
1:22:35 > 1:22:40Reach. Caught him on the end of his foot. Won't be able to feel his toes
1:22:40 > 1:22:44any way, he will be all right.Here is the man who has broken the
1:22:44 > 1:22:53deadlock.Good play, wasn't it? Lovely strike that it. It is a
1:22:53 > 1:23:00little bit lucky, Ayew.
1:23:00 > 1:23:06Rhodes with the cross and that was a chance for Reach. Cleared by
1:23:06 > 1:23:18Fernandez.That was a chance. A good ball in as well.
1:23:20 > 1:23:25Jones tried to slide that into Palmer. The flag has gone up. It is
1:23:25 > 1:23:35a goal kick.A spirited response from Wednesday, certainly.
1:23:43 > 1:23:49Carval wanting to change things I think.
1:23:59 > 1:24:05We have had an hour in South Wales. And the first goal of the two games
1:24:05 > 1:24:16between these two. Jordan Ayew of Swansea.
1:24:26 > 1:24:29Suddenly Carroll's come alive as well.
1:24:36 > 1:24:43Here he is again, the former Spurs player. Scored in the 8-1 here in
1:24:43 > 1:24:52the replay against Notts County.
1:24:56 > 1:25:04Bartley was out part of season with a knee injury. Free kick to Swansea.
1:25:04 > 1:25:14Just delayed it a bit actually, the -- referee.
1:25:14 > 1:25:23-- referee. Free kick all day.
1:25:36 > 1:25:51That is Atdhe Nuhiu.The game's starting to stretch and open out.
1:26:04 > 1:26:11Untidy from van der Hoorn.No need to force it though, Swansea,
1:26:11 > 1:26:21especially at the back.That's gone Sheffield Wednesday's way.
1:26:31 > 1:26:39Jones has played in the Premier League for four different teams.Did
1:26:39 > 1:26:50he start at Manchester United?He did. Won the youth Cup as captain.
1:26:58 > 1:27:05Good pressing, Swansea.
1:27:08 > 1:27:16First thing Ayew has done wrong.
1:27:37 > 1:27:47Oh!Come on Jordan Rhodes, he is an assassin all of a sudden.He found
1:27:47 > 1:27:55Olsen. For the first time tonight, Stuart Attwell is going to produce a
1:27:55 > 1:28:02yellow card.
1:28:02 > 1:28:11yellow card.Can't complain. I wouldn't think he has had many
1:28:11 > 1:28:17bookings in his career. Certainly not for tackling!
1:28:35 > 1:28:39Sheffield Wednesday have lost five of their last seven FA Cup replays.
1:28:39 > 1:28:46They need a response.
1:28:47 > 1:28:50They need a response.I think the change is imminent, Sheffield
1:28:50 > 1:28:53Wednesday.
1:29:40 > 1:29:48Surely Swansea will think here a second one kills the game.Yes.
1:29:48 > 1:29:51second one kills the game.Yes. Just can't afford to be sloppy, that's
1:29:51 > 1:29:55all.
1:30:32 > 1:30:39Building potentially down this left-hand side, Swansea. What is
1:30:39 > 1:30:48Palmer going to do? Fouled thereby Martin Olsson.Bad foul as well,
1:30:48 > 1:30:57isn't it? He's got nowhere to go. Give him an easy way out now.
1:30:57 > 1:31:04Give him an easy way out now.Well, this is the reaction of Luhukay, the
1:31:04 > 1:31:07Sheffield Wednesday manager. Jacob Butterfield, and one from Derby.
1:31:07 > 1:31:11Reach the semifinals ten years ago with Barnsley. He is going to
1:31:11 > 1:31:17depart. Atdhe Nuhiu, the Kosovo International, who has three goals
1:31:17 > 1:31:25in three games in this cup run. He's going to come on.He's different,
1:31:25 > 1:31:33isn't he? Most certainly. Very different.
1:31:34 > 1:31:41different.So he joins Rhodes and Joao.Just hope they can get the
1:31:41 > 1:31:46service to the tree.
1:31:51 > 1:31:55service to the tree.One of those midfield players sacrificed with 22
1:31:55 > 1:32:07minutes remaining. There is the first ball towards him.
1:32:07 > 1:32:18first ball towards him. Sheffield Wednesday throw.
1:32:45 > 1:32:57Nice control from Abraham. Certainly appreciated the support from Jordan
1:32:57 > 1:33:08Ayew in the second half.Starting to look a better player, isn't he?
1:33:09 > 1:33:14Carlos Cabal won the Portuguese league ten years ago. As it stands,
1:33:14 > 1:33:25they are just away from the semifinal.
1:33:48 > 1:33:57Now it's Swansea with every player inside their own half.
1:33:57 > 1:34:07inside their own half. Both these teams shipped four goals, remember?
1:34:07 > 1:34:18One is 17th in the championship. Somebody told me in Sheffield
1:34:18 > 1:34:26Wednesday's game at the weekend, there were 17 fouls, 16 by Sheffield
1:34:26 > 1:34:29Wednesday, and only won by Aston Villa. In the championship. I find
1:34:29 > 1:34:37that really difficult to believe. And also the imbalance.
1:34:37 > 1:34:42And also the imbalance.Quiet weekend for you, was it?How did you
1:34:42 > 1:34:46guess?
1:34:51 > 1:34:57guess?That wasn't a foul by Loovens.
1:35:00 > 1:35:05Loovens.You can hear the home crowd, trying to create more urgency
1:35:05 > 1:35:11to settle this game.
1:35:18 > 1:35:28Another Swansea throw.
1:35:34 > 1:35:38As it stands, it will be Swansea at home in the quarterfinals to either
1:35:38 > 1:35:42Tottenham or Rochdale. They play tomorrow, of course, at Wembley. You
1:35:42 > 1:35:54can see highlights of that on the red button from 10pm.
1:36:04 > 1:36:09Sheffield Wednesday still in this cup tie. Three times winners of this
1:36:09 > 1:36:16competition. Five times finalists. Hoping to be quarterfinalists for
1:36:16 > 1:36:24only the second time in 25 years. They need a goal. Here's Lucas Joao.
1:36:24 > 1:36:33Tidied up by Martin Olsson.They've gone floppy, Swansea.Jordan Ayew on
1:36:33 > 1:36:42the run. Fouled by Loovens.
1:36:42 > 1:36:45the run. Fouled by Loovens.Quite a clever fouling. Stops the break from
1:36:45 > 1:36:51Jordan Ayew.
1:36:55 > 1:37:01Jordan Ayew. I'm sure he's saying to the referee.
1:37:02 > 1:37:05the referee.Not any warmer, that's for sure, particularly for the
1:37:05 > 1:37:15younger generation.Where is your hat, boss?
1:37:22 > 1:37:27Aimed towards van der Hoorn. Got something on it. Safely gathered by
1:37:27 > 1:37:34Dawson.
1:37:34 > 1:37:43Dawson. That has fallen to Dyer. Only Abraham in the middle.
1:37:49 > 1:37:59Away by van der Hoorn. Backed by Boyd.
1:38:04 > 1:38:07Boyd.Lucky, Swansea. Giving the ball away just outside their own
1:38:07 > 1:38:19box. I think it was Carroll, wasn't it?
1:38:22 > 1:38:32Those Sheffield Wednesday fans know a little more than a quarter of an
1:38:32 > 1:38:38hour left to continue this journey. All branches of Sheffield Wednesday.
1:38:38 > 1:38:4718 seasons out of the Premier League now.
1:38:47 > 1:38:58now.Lost it again, Carroll.
1:39:14 > 1:39:19Still a little tentative, Swansea. One back by Jones.Just a little
1:39:19 > 1:39:24panicky when they've got the ball. There is no great urgency. Their 1-0
1:39:24 > 1:39:28up.
1:39:30 > 1:39:36up.No foul on Jones. Now, can Swansea make something of this?
1:39:36 > 1:39:45Abraham stopped by Loovens.So obvious, wasn't it?
1:39:50 > 1:40:02That was far too strong for Lucas Joao.
1:40:03 > 1:40:07They certainly remember the last time Sheffield Wednesday beat
1:40:07 > 1:40:11top-flight opposition in the FA Cup. That was back in 1993 in the
1:40:11 > 1:40:18semifinal, when they famously beat Sheffield United. Can they come from
1:40:18 > 1:40:29behind to do it again here tonight?
1:40:38 > 1:40:44Almost made his presence though. That's the first decent cross
1:40:44 > 1:40:48they've got into him. Given his size and something different. Very
1:40:48 > 1:40:53awkward.
1:40:59 > 1:41:02He was running before he almost played the past, wasn't he? You
1:41:02 > 1:41:07could see what he was trying to do. Shouldn't laugh.But you did.Been
1:41:07 > 1:41:17there.
1:41:23 > 1:41:32Still not putting his shirt on.Hope no one is having dirty at home. --
1:41:32 > 1:41:43is having their tea at home.
1:41:46 > 1:42:02Driven away by Fernandes.Again. No pressure, no nothing. Just keep it.
1:42:19 > 1:42:25Little bit of space now.
1:43:02 > 1:43:06Another one. What is mystifying really with Sheffield Wednesday,
1:43:06 > 1:43:10they've got three up top, and two of them are big, strong, tall, and a
1:43:10 > 1:43:21handful, and they're about to go out of the competition.
1:43:21 > 1:43:26of the competition.Early from Jones.
1:43:35 > 1:43:43Dyer's in space. A transfer Dyer! Nathan Dyer to make it 2-0 with ten
1:43:43 > 1:43:51minutes to go. And Swansea will hope that that's the goal that takes them
1:43:51 > 1:44:00the quarterfinals.Lovely finish, wasn't it? Took his time. Just that
1:44:00 > 1:44:07quality now that we can see the difference between the two sides.
1:44:10 > 1:44:13What he did as well but he got himself in a position where he
1:44:13 > 1:44:18wasn't offside, looked across the line, how many times do you see
1:44:18 > 1:44:28that? Through the goalkeeper's legs. His third goal of the season. All of
1:44:28 > 1:44:34them have come in the FA Cup. Two double Swansea's advantage. Through
1:44:34 > 1:44:41the legs of Dawson. Sheffield Wednesday were going to make a
1:44:41 > 1:44:48substitution anyway before that goal. Almen Abdi. His return from
1:44:48 > 1:44:53injury is there a change, but he comes on at 2-0 as a posed to 1-0.
1:44:53 > 1:44:59Good luck.
1:44:59 > 1:45:03Good luck.The Swiss international has replaced Jordan Rhodes, but a
1:45:03 > 1:45:14difficult nine minutes ahead now for Sheffield Wednesday. No foul.
1:45:16 > 1:45:22Sheffield Wednesday. No foul. Jordan Roberts couldn't pick the past.
1:45:29 > 1:45:33Lucas Joao has stayed down after that challenge.Yes, I think he ran
1:45:33 > 1:45:43into the defender. It was pinched off him.
1:45:59 > 1:46:05Hand on heart, did you think this was going to be 0-0?Yes!Makes two
1:46:05 > 1:46:12of us!Leon Britton is going to make his return. He hasn't played since
1:46:12 > 1:46:20October, against Leicester. He is going to replace the second goal
1:46:20 > 1:46:26scorer, Nathan Dyer. The supporters hope he has helped them into the
1:46:26 > 1:46:33quarter-finals.He has played in every division for them hasn't he?
1:46:33 > 1:46:40He has and he has two care taker managerial games on his CV as well.
1:46:40 > 1:46:48He is back from a groin injury. He actually had that short spell at
1:46:48 > 1:46:52Sheffield United in between. Sheffield Wednesday will remember
1:46:52 > 1:46:56that. Perfect time for him to come back on.
1:47:16 > 1:47:24Here is the 35-year-old now.
1:47:40 > 1:47:48Sheffield Wednesday's best chances were in the first half. It has made
1:47:48 > 1:47:53a massive difference the substitutions at half-time. All I
1:47:53 > 1:48:00want to do is live by the sea? Well move then.You already do.
1:48:00 > 1:48:10Occasionally, when it comes in.
1:48:12 > 1:48:19He made a couple of smart saves in the first half.Yes. His first save
1:48:19 > 1:48:24was the best. It looked from here right behind it as if it was going
1:48:24 > 1:48:28in the far corner.You sensed it was going to be a tie where the first
1:48:28 > 1:48:37goal was going to be pivotal. So it has proved.
1:48:38 > 1:48:43has proved.Sheffield Wednesday just had, was it Reach at 1-0 down, a
1:48:43 > 1:48:55half chance, I don't think it was any more than that, was it?
1:48:55 > 1:48:58any more than that, was it?Tom Carroll, do you coach that, across
1:48:58 > 1:49:07your own penalty area?I would hope not. Or that.
1:49:12 > 1:49:15It made a big difference for Swansea, they will come in tomorrow
1:49:15 > 1:49:21probably and do a light training session. But the fact they got beat
1:49:21 > 1:49:24at the weekend, they have won tonight and West Ham at the weekend
1:49:24 > 1:49:36- confidence.And only two defeats in 14 days under Carlos Carvahal.
1:49:36 > 1:49:39Yes the turn around is staggering. Bottom of the Premier League when he
1:49:39 > 1:49:47walked in, remember.Got a bit of humour about him as well, hasn't he?
1:49:47 > 1:49:57He has certainly added something.
1:50:02 > 1:50:05Safely taken by Nordfeldt.
1:50:09 > 1:50:18He has not made a save second half, I don't think. I can't remember one.
1:50:31 > 1:50:3813 goals in this cup run, Swansea now. The good news for them - they
1:50:38 > 1:50:42can't have any more replays.Of course yes.And they're still in the
1:50:42 > 1:50:47competition.
1:51:18 > 1:51:24They have Sheffield Wednesday have tried to play.
1:51:54 > 1:52:03Good feet from Abraham. Trying to find Olsen.
1:52:03 > 1:52:13Ayew.
1:52:18 > 1:52:23A clever player, isn't he? He has that element of class about him as
1:52:23 > 1:52:29well. He is head and shoulders above most of the players on this pitch.
1:52:29 > 1:52:34He is easily the best player and he has only played half of it.Would
1:52:34 > 1:52:43you give him your Man of the Match? He has got it. He has got it.A
1:52:43 > 1:52:54prestigeous honour.He has changed the game. You can see the quality.
1:53:03 > 1:53:07He has suddenly made the back five of Sheffield Wednesday extremely
1:53:07 > 1:53:16nervous. No one came close in the first half.
1:53:37 > 1:53:42Carlos Carvahal has certainly put a smile back on Swansea faces. Yes,
1:53:42 > 1:53:48the Premier League is the priority and they have three huge games in a
1:53:48 > 1:53:52row, West Ham, Huddersfield and Southampton, but they will also look
1:53:52 > 1:53:57forward to an FA Cup quarter-final at home. Three minutes of added
1:53:57 > 1:54:06time. And they can watch the match at Wembley to see who they will
1:54:06 > 1:54:14play.Yes and no VAR!Yet!
1:54:14 > 1:54:20play.Yes and no VAR!Yet! It has been a pleasant evening for Andre
1:54:20 > 1:54:30Marriner.Yes he will have a big cigar on and his slippers!
1:54:49 > 1:54:54Sheffield Wednesday will concentrate on just making sure they don't get
1:54:54 > 1:55:01dragged any closer to the relegation zone in the Championship.
1:55:03 > 1:55:05zone in the Championship. Seven points above the relegation zone.
1:55:05 > 1:55:15They will hope to get some of their injured players back.
1:55:24 > 1:55:35Olson.A relieved Carlos Carlal, I think. I don't think it was that
1:55:35 > 1:55:40bad!
1:55:40 > 1:55:53bad!He is another one who didn't want extra time!Yep.
1:56:00 > 1:56:09Final minute of stoppage time.
1:56:17 > 1:56:31Too intricate from Clucas. He has removed any doubt. Two against Notts
1:56:31 > 1:56:38County in the fourth round replay. And his goal was all important.
1:56:51 > 1:56:59A little piece of history for Swansea City, they're into the FA
1:56:59 > 1:57:05Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 54 years. Carlos Carvahal
1:57:05 > 1:57:13has knocked out his old club. Ayew's goal important. Dyer settled it and
1:57:13 > 1:57:18they can relax and watch at Wembley to find out if they're at home to
1:57:18 > 1:57:23Spurs or Rochdale in the last eight. They deserved it. Second half
1:57:23 > 1:57:28especially. The quality of the play. The introduction of Ayew made all
1:57:28 > 1:57:34the difference. They battled hard Sheffield Wednesday, but over the 90
1:57:34 > 1:57:38-plus minutes a fully deserved victory for Swansea.While the
1:57:38 > 1:57:44Premier League is the priority, not since 1964 have they progressed
1:57:44 > 1:57:52beyond the fifth round. Now they have and we have our seventh name in
1:57:52 > 1:57:59the FA Cup quarter-finals. It has finished at the Liberty Stadium,
1:57:59 > 1:58:03Swansea 2, Sheffield Wednesday 0.
1:58:03 > 1:58:10Thank you to Steve and Mark. Swansea got there in the end. Into the FA
1:58:10 > 1:58:18Cup quarter-finals after that 2-0 win. Let's talk Swansea's second
1:58:18 > 1:58:22goal scorer, Nathan Dyer has joined us. Tough work to break them down?
1:58:22 > 1:58:28Yes it was. It was hard at their place in the first leg. We knew it
1:58:28 > 1:58:33was going to be tough. They played defensively strong. We made the runs
1:58:33 > 1:58:39to break the defence. It took a while.Do you think Ayew coming on
1:58:39 > 1:58:42helped you do that. His movement that made some more space for you
1:58:42 > 1:58:47and you were both able to get behind.Yes he commits a lot of
1:58:47 > 1:58:53players going forward and it allows everyone else to exploit the spaces.
1:58:53 > 1:58:57It is good when you have player like that to have an extra goal threat
1:58:57 > 1:59:03and it paid off.How do you feel your understanding with Tammy
1:59:03 > 1:59:08Abrahams is coming along.It is good. He is a young boy and he has a
1:59:08 > 1:59:13lot of ability. He was playing the ball earlier. I let him now. This
1:59:13 > 1:59:18time he had the awareness to pick me up. It was a low strike I got on
1:59:18 > 1:59:25target.Is it just us in the media that look at your cup run and say,
1:59:25 > 1:59:28it might help you in the league, or do you feel as a squad that the cup
1:59:28 > 1:59:34run has helped you?I think so. Having close games back-to-back
1:59:34 > 1:59:38games and having that confidence which we needed to build up and
1:59:38 > 1:59:41getting the wins as well, draws, win, helped us go into the Premier
1:59:41 > 1:59:52League knowing that we have a better understanding.Thank you. I will
1:59:52 > 1:59:57take your microphone. Thank you. They will want to play Rochdale, but
1:59:57 > 2:00:01at least they have a quarter-final at home.Yes that is the positive
2:00:01 > 2:00:07and I think it does, you said, asking him, about the cup run
2:00:07 > 2:00:11helping. It is the continuous form that continues that wing streak. I
2:00:11 > 2:00:15think in general that continues that positivity around the place.Let's
2:00:15 > 2:00:27show you FA Cup quarter-final draw then.
2:00:36 > 2:00:43That is it. We are out of time. Thank you Mark and Kevin. The
2:00:43 > 2:00:54easiest money you have made! Goodbye.
