West Brom lacked attacking efficiency - Clarke

West Bromwich Albion boss Steve Clarke rued his side's lack of efficiency in the final third as they lost 2-0 to Swansea City on Sunday.

The Baggies are now on the bottom of the table with one point from three matches, having not scored a goal, and Clarke suggests something needs to rapidly improve up forward.

"We knocked it around well, some good passing movements and we got into some really good forward positions, without creating the last bit and the chance for a goal," Clarke told Sky Sports.

"We missed one or two chances but I think overall from the possession we had, we probably didn't create enough chances.

"Very important, Swansea are a very good team and they showed that to everyone last season and they enjoy to wait and counter attack especially away from home and we knew if we went behind it would be a difficult afternoon to get back into the game."
