Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew insists he's the right man for the job after defeat at Swansea City.

Palace lost 5-4 after substitute Fernando Llorente scored twice in stoppage time - Swansea having earlier let slip a 3-1 lead by conceding three times between the 75th and 84th minutes.

Asked if he still had the backing of the board, Pardew said: "It's not my decision, but as a football manager you've got to try and address the problems and deal with it.

"I'm certainly strong enough. I've been here before so I know how it works and in terms of myself and my team.

"I have a good team and will be back in on Monday working towards Southampton (next Saturday).

"The goals we've conceded don't reflect well on us. But I will reflect on this game and try and correct it for the next one.

"We've had six defeats and a couple of them - at Burnley and now at Swansea - we shouldn't have had. That's what has put us in this mess, and we need to get ourselves out of it."
