Saturday’s Opponents Hull Impress Monk

Swansea City manager Garry Monk says that Hull City have impressed him recently as he looks ahead to Saturday’s game at the Liberty Stadium.

The Swans are back in action this weekend following the international break when a host of Swansea players featured for their respected countries. Williams and Taylor both started in Wales’ excellent 3-0 win in Israel.

Monk admits it’s been a difficult season for Bruce’s side, but they impressed him in their 3-2 defeat at home against Chelsea.

They’re fighting for points at the foot at the table and the Swans will be in for a difficult match against the Tigers.

Monk said in his pre-match press conference:

“It has been a difficult season for them, but they have a good group with quality players,”

“They pushed Chelsea all the way in the last game, and I was really impressed with them.

“Hull want to steer clear of the relegation zone, so they will be a determined side coming here.

“But we are focussed on winning the three points, as Hull will be. They have always been close encounters between the sides in recent times.

“If our attitude is spot on and our football is as good as it can be then we have the chance to win.

“It`s about pushing on with our agenda and improving ourselves, judging by the week we have had I can see the group is focussed and ready.”
