Williams has no doubt Swansea improving under Monk

Swansea City captain Ashley Williams has no doubts they're improving under rookie manager Garry Monk.

Everton's former Swansea boss Roberto Martinez criticised his old club for their approach following a recent goalless draw at Goodison Park saying it was not the style of play he recognised from his days at the Liberty Stadium, but Williams said it was proof that every player knew their job.

"The gaffer's plan was to work on the defensive side of things first and then the attacking side," Williams revealed.

"What you saw in the Everton game was everyone understanding their role and even though we went down to 10 men we did what we needed to do.

"We know people said 'same old Swansea' and had figured out to play against us so we made a conscious effort to change that."
