Swansea City boss Garry Monk was asked about Jonjo Shelvey's attitude shown during defeat to Liverpool.

He has picked up seven bookings and a red card this season and Monk feels his disciplinary problems have been down to a lack of focus and application.

And Sky television pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher saw Shelvey smiling and laughing with Adam Lallana ahead of the corner from which he headed into his own goal as a further loss of focus.

"I have not seen the Sky footage and I was not aware of that," Monk said. "But you need to be focused in those situations, especially a dangerous situation like a set-piece.

"I was disappointed with that goal as it was avoidable but I thought Jonjo's performance was good.

"We analyse the players and get all the feedback from their performances and on the ball he was one of our highest passers in the game.

"I thought he put himself about, had good energy and he was possibly our best passer on the day. He was probably our most threatening midfielder on the ball but I know he can be even better.

"Performance-wise, he's capable of running a game, grabbing it by the scruff of the neck and really dictating it, but what you forget is that he's a really young player."
