Managers react after Swansea beat Stoke 2-0

  • Intro:

    Swansea tightened their hold on eighth place in the English Premier League by beating visiting Stoke 2-0 on Saturday (May 2nd).

    Script:

    1. SOUNDBITE: (English) Swansea coach Garry Monk

    "We were good first half but we were probably playing at 70 per cent of ourselves. I think it was the intensity and the tempo of our passing wasn't quite where it should have been. So I had a few words to say at half-time. I thought second half we got the right reaction, for sure I thought we were so dominant in the second half and we pushed and we looked very likely, even before the goals came and we had good chances, especially through Gylfi (Sigurdsson). I thought we would take the lead but I was very confident the way we were had that front foot and that domination that we had and the goals came and quite rightly so - obviously with a clean sheet as well, three points, it's a great achievement."

    2. SOUNDBITE: (English) Swansea coach Garry Monk

    "What I said to you in terms of the top ten and beating our best points tally, that's something that, as a group and as myself I spoke to the group about at the start of the season. So, in terms of those targets it's exactly what we've achieved and what we wanted and, or on our way to achieving."

    3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Stoke coach Mark Hughes

    "Second half we didn't really ask too many questions of Swansea. I thought first half we were very comfortable to be perfectly honest and I didn't think there wasn't a great deal happening in the game. I think we had the majority of possession without really having that cutting edge that we were looking for. I thought in the final third our retention of the ball wasn't quite good enough to allow us to get people up the pitch and in and around the box and and our creative play was a little bit lacking today, I have to say."
