his side's performance in the 3-0 defeat to Leicester
was "extremely poor".
Swansea City boss Garry Monk questioned his players' desire
after Leicester City cruised to an impressive 3-0 win at the
Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
The defeat, and the manner of it, will increase the pressure on
Monk, whose side was undone by a Riyad Mahrez hat-trick for
the table-topping visitors.
"We were extremely poor, especially in that first half. It's not
acceptable at all," Monk told Sky Sports.
"What we're giving right now is not what it should be.
"We can debate the two goals, the first was a handball and the
second was offside, but it's not about that, it's about the
principles we have set as a club, as a team and we're not doing
it."
The defeat leaves Swansea four points above the relegation
zone after a run of one win in 11 Premier League games.
Monk added: "It's very difficult to put your finger on it. You feel
you are getting somewhere - we had a really good reaction
against Liverpool [last weekend] - and then we get that type of
performance. It's very frustrating.
"We're going to have to find a solution very, very soon. It's
important these players fight for each other because they're the
only ones that can."
