Monk reveals he's still working on Swansea improvements

Swansea City boss Garry Monk admits his team is a work in progress.

The former central defender has just celebrated his first anniversary as Swansea manager in which he has collected an impressive 52 points from 38 games.

"I've probably brought a bit more steel but in a different way to West Brom," Monk said.

"I've tried to change the mentality, not that it was a weak mentality but just a responsibility that everyone needs to have as a team.

"It's not just about defenders defending and a keeper making saves, it's about how you defend as a team - and it was important I put that in place because I felt it was something that was missing in the past.

"Now I am trying to work on the offensive side and focus more on what we do going forward."
