Swansea boss Monk 'disappointed' with Watford defeat

Swansea City boss Garry Monk was left frustrated with defeat at Watford.

Odion Ighalo scored the only goal of the game shortly before the hour mark to secure Watford's first victory of their Premier League campaign.

"It was a poor afternoon for us, and nowhere near the levels we require to do well in this league," Monk said.

"There was a lack of focus on the good things that we do - what we are capable of - and we went away from that today.

"We were doing things that we do not normally do. We were sluggish with the ball and did not use the ball in the right areas and that is the reason we lost the game.

"I am disappointed with a loss and I am not going to come in happy if I have just lost a game, but the manner in which we lost is the most disappointing bit."
