Monk – Positions Are Under Threat

One of the reasons why Monk was so particular about his recruitment back in the summer was because he wanted competition in every place on the pitch and after a run of four games without a win then there is an increasing likelihood that there could be changes for tomorrow’s game.

The Swans were disappointing last week in defeat at Southampton and it led to criticism of many players performances so it will be interesting to see what happens when the teams are announced tomorrow afternoon.

Speculation has mounted that Monk may turn to the reliability of Angel Rangel and Leon Britton to try and change the way that games are going with the places of Kyle Naughton and possibly Jack Cork under thread.

Asked whether places were in danger, Monk said รขโ‚ฌล“Of course รขโ‚ฌโ€ everyoneรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs position will be under threat.

รขโ‚ฌล“Thatรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs why you have competition in the squad.

รขโ‚ฌล“I have got players who have not had the minutes they would have liked, and the players who have played know they need to perform.

รขโ‚ฌล“They have to fight every single day for the shirt.”

And it is fighting for the shirt that has been missing in some recent games and something we need to get changed and soon.
