"Barcelona in disguise" - Swansea defender mightily impressed by Wolves showing
By Joseph Chapman
Wolves were held by the Premier League outfit in the FA Cup on Saturday.
Swansea defender Kyle Bartley dubbed Wolverhampton Wanderers “Barcelona in disguise” after the Premier League basement boys held the Championship table toppers in the FA Cup third round tie on Saturday.
In what was a feisty affair, both sides finished the game with ten man after Ruben Vinagre and Leroy Fer (the latter somewhat farcically) were shown straight red cards.
But the display from Nuno Espirito Santo’s side at Molineux, against top flight opposition, impressed former Birmingham loanee Bartley, who made his first appearance since August.
“They are Barcelona in disguise. They were very good,” he said after the game.
“They’ve got a good plan, they show a lot of rotation of the ball and their manager has them very well drilled.”

Appreciate Wolves were at home but surely that should be the other way around or have Swansea accepted a 'swap deal' for next season?

Chris, I think Wolves and Swansea fans are perfect for each other. Not so long ago the jacks were saying how brilliant they were and look where they are now. It wouldn't surprise me to see Wolvesalona have a few seasons in the sun before being brought back to earth just like the White Sox down the Statue Of Liberty Municipal Stadium.
