Swansea City manager Garry Monk says his side really wanted to win against Bournemouth but it didn’t go according to plan.

That barren spell prompted speculation that Monk was facing the sack, which the former Swansea captain dismissed as the “agenda” of people outside the club.
“With my family, I made a decision to go to Swansea, it was somewhere where I had the confidence of the manager and the president 100%”.
“We have been working just as hard on the training ground – there’s no lack of effort from any of the players so on that side of things if your question is does he have the players’ backing, he definitely does”. It was a choice that I really thought about.
His aims now are to simply “carry on and keep pushing these players” as he believes that just “one result or one good performance can change your whole mentality” and a positive one against Liverpool could prove to be the catalyst that the club need to get back to form.
“We’re trying to do it for him as well as ourselves”.
Swansea has just won one of their last 10 EPL games but the deputy Ghana Black Stars skipper who has been their best player so far this season scoring six goals in 13 games is confident that they can beat Liverpool in Anfield. We were disappointed not to take three points, but a draw was probably a fair result.
BBC Sport also claims that Swans assistant manager Pep Clotet could leave the club as he is being considered to take over at Brentford.

Monk, who took charge of Swansea in February 2014 following Michael Laudrup’s departure, is reported to have been frustrated by his assistant’s apparent discussions with Brentford.
