The Swansea City manager was talking after his side ended a run of four consecutive defeats at Portsmouth – moving themselves nearer a guaranteed play off spot in the process.<\/p>\n
Rodgers told Wales on Sunday "It was a little bit frustrating but I was proud of my players because we had talked about getting the away form right before the match.<\/p>\n
"I wanted them to get back that warrior spirit and I thought they showed it, particularly in the second half.<\/p>\n
"There is always pressure when you have lost four in a row and especially when you are coming to a team who is only just out of the Premier League.<\/p>\n
"We needed to be organised and strong in defense and I thought we were excellent in that respect."<\/p>\n

"It was important that we stopped the rot and if we can win all of our games now let's see what happens.<\/p>\n
"If there is one profession where the seemingly impossible can become the possible then it is football."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
