Rodgers confident Swansea will score goals soon

Swansea City manager Brendan Rodgers is supremely confident his side will begin to score goals following three matches in the Premier League without one.

The Welsh club have not looked out of their depth in the top flight despite a 4-0 loss to Manchester City and two scoreless draws with Wigan Athletic last week and Sunderland today but the fact that they have not yet scored in 270 minutes may be worrying for fans.

However, Rodgers feels that the chances the Swans are producing will soon relate to goals on the board.

"We were terrific today apart from that final touch into the goal," he said after the draw with the Black Cats at the Liberty Stadium.

"The players were outstanding against a good side. We must remember that Sunderland went to Liverpool on the opening day and got a draw.

"That is two clean sheets in three games, which shows we are ready to compete at this level and if you can't win the game it is important you don't lose.

"Some of the football we played today was outstanding. Danny Graham hasn't scored yet but you can see it's only a matter of time. His intensity and work rate is incredible.

"He will be disappointed he hasn't scored but he gives so much more to the team, he is not just a striker who scores goals and does nothing else. Scott Sinclair had his opportunity and we had other chances in the box as well.

"We haven't scored but we are not a team that does not look like scoring. I believe if you look it is only going to be a matter of time."
