Leon Britton says that the Swans have lost any fear factor they may have had at the start of the season<\/p>\n
Britton admits that maybe the Swans were a little in awe when they first came into the Premier League<\/p>\n
Britton told the Evening Post\u00a0“I’ve never played at this level so I came in unsure<\/p>\n
“Obviously you hear about the Premier League, about the amazing players and you do question yourself.<\/p>\n
“In the first game we lined up in the tunnel against David Silva and Yaya Toure.<\/p>\n
“When you’re in the Championship, you watch these players on TV scoring unbelievable goals, so when you’re next to them it did feel like a cup game, a one-off.<\/p>\n
“Now we’ve played 24 games and we’re not worried about which international we’re playing against. Everyone is a good player.<\/p>\n
“It’s just a case of stamping your own authority on the game rather than worry about what the other team is doing.<\/p>\n
“If you’d said at the beginning of the season that Swansea v Norwich would have been a mid-table clash, not many people would have believed you,” said Britton.<\/p>\n
“I think both clubs deserve credit. When you play on Sky and beat Arsenal people are talking about you all over the country. You do get more respect.<\/p>\n
“I know people who have been playing in the Premier League for a long time, and they tell me after games that we played some great football.<\/p>\n
“We’ve had a lot of praise showered on us throughout the season.<\/p>\n
“But we’ve got a great bunch of lads who won’t get carried away with that.<\/p>\n
“The main aim is still to stay up,” he added.<\/p>\n
“The manager’s never said we need a certain amount of points to be safe \u2014 even now he doesn’t say we need so many more points.<\/p>\n
“It’s a case of keeping the standard up every day in training and doing the same things we did at West Brom last week.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
