Britton: Players are right behind Guidolin at Swansea

Leon Britton insists the Swansea City players could not be working harder for under fire manager Francesco Guidolin despite a run of poor results.

The Swans have just a single victory from their opening seven Premier League games following their 2-1 defeat to Liverpool on Saturday.

Despite taking the lead through Leroy Fer’s fourth goal of the season, Liverpool equalised through Roberto Firmino and then James Milner hit the winner from the penalty spot.

The Swans’ only victory came on the opening day of the season against Burnley with their only other points coming in a 2-2 draw with Chelsea at the beginning of September.

And while some are beginning to question whether Guidolin can turnaround the Swans’ fortunes, Britton is adamant that the players are fully behind the 60-year-old.

“There has been a lot of speculation about the manager, but I think the performance this weekend and the performance the week before shows we are behind the manager,” the midfielder said.

“We gave everything. We worked so hard. I don’t think anyone can question whether the players are behind the manager. We are right behind him, but we cannot stop the speculation.”

Swansea travel to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal after the international break.
