Phil Thompson reckons Stoke manager Mark Hughes is under huge pressure to get a result against Swansea today.
The Potters are fifth from bottom in the Premier League and have won just twice in their last 13 matches in all competitions.
"They (Stoke's fans) want more attractive football and it's not coming," Thompson told Sky Sports a few moments ago.
"Mark is in a very difficult position. We've seen clubs making these changes.
"I think this is a massive game. I think this game and next week's against West Brom will be massive towards his future at the football club."
Hughes has been in charge of Stoke since 2013.
