He said: \u201cIt\u2019s a mixture of joy and relief.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you look at the fixtures for the next couple of weeks then we have all the top teams coming up but last season Swansea beat Manchester City and Arsenal at home so anything can happen \u2013 it is possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the next three games in seven days are huge and obviously it is much better to go into those games with 11 points on the board rather than eight. We knew that this game was going to be very important for us. I thought the players played with lots of confidence and also patience because even when you really want to win the game you can\u2019t do it all in the first 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cGames at this level, you win over 90 minutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the first half both sides wanted the ball and were fighting for possession, I thought we had a little more of it and we were pretty comfortable.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the first minute of the second half I thought we were in complete control and, when the two goals came, it looked like a case of when would the third one come.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut once they got the goal back we had to really suffer in that final 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe game changed completely and it was one where we had to suffer a lot. They had a goal disallowed that was very tight. After coming back having not won for so long it is probably no surprise that we had to work very hard for the win.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe team is always happy when they win. When you have players who are not playing they will not be happy even if the team is winning all the time.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd when the team is not winning there is almost more negativity about everything, it\u2019s been the same way for years and won\u2019t change.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was good for Pablo to get his first goal and I thought he played very well, he looked dangerous with the ball. He is getting used to a different league that is more physical than he is used to in Spain.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
