Clement: Swansea have what it takes to avoid relegation

Swansea City may be languishing just three points above the relegation zone but boss Paul Clement insists there is no need to panic as the end of the Premier League season begins to loom.

The Swans lost 2-1 at Hull City last weekend, a result that left Clement frustrated at his side’s missed opportunities.

His side have picked up just five wins since the beginning of 2017, with ten games of the campaign left to go.

And Clement is confident his side have what it takes to avoid the drop.

“The players know that we have picked up 15 points in nine games since the turn of the year,” he said.

“We have 10 games to go. If we pick up the same sort of number of points, we will be fine.

“There’s absolutely no need to panic. We have done really well over the last eight or nine weeks and there’s no need to lose confidence because one result didn’t go our way.

“I don’t know exactly what it will take to survive. If you look back at past seasons, you can stay up with 36 points or go down with 42.

“I think the average is somewhere close to 38, but who knows what it will be this year.

“We just have to get as many points to make sure we don’t end up going down with 42.”
