​Clement wants Swansea to learn from Burnley success

Published on: 16 November 2017

Swansea boss Paul Clement believes they can learn a lot from this weekend's opponents Burnley who reside in the top half of the table.

Looking ahead to the game, Clement told Thursday's pre-match press conference: "We've only won two games of the 11 we've played.

"But I have to say the application of the players, and the spirit, is very good.

"Clearly we're disappointed with our position. You have to find that balance between being stubborn defensively - and our defensive record is not too bad - but we need to find some momentum going forward.

"Seven goals form 11 games is not a good tally. But saying that, you look at Burnley - up in seventh position - who have only scored three more goals than us.

"And what they've managed to do, and the opposite to us, they've come off the back end of some very tight games, on the right side of results - one-nil wins, one-all draws, nil-nils.

"They've managed games well. Scored early and defended really well, or scored late and saw the game out."
