Swansea boss Rodgers confident Graham will get goals

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers has no concerns over Danny Graham's lack of goals.

He believes record signing Graham is close to opening his account for the season and feels his squad as a whole now believe they belong in the Premier League.

"Danny is a great reference for this team," he said on Saturday. "He leads the line really well, his touch is terrific and he just needed something to drop for him.

"He works very hard for the team, whether he scores or not he gives the maximum intensity and he will get his goal very soon.

"Monday (against Manchester City) was a dream and the dream became the reality, and what we have seen is the belief hitting on to the players. The next step is to go on and achieve.

"The reality has set in that we are a Premier League club. We are fighting to stay in the league and for half the game on Monday we showed we can compete at that level, and today we played some terrific football and were just missing that touch in the final third."
