Garry Monk knew after the game it was not a great game for the Swans with the ball

Monk said after the 0-0 draw with Aston Villa "It was a scrappy game, not the most fluid

"A couple of us, myself included, weren't great with the ball. That's when you've got to make sure you don't get beaten. The positives were that we limited some very attacking players to very few chances.

"It wasn't a great day for us with the ball, that's when you need to be solid."

Monk was also aware of the physical nature to Villa's game and he added "To start off with the referee booked them to stop them doing that, then he let them go, probably because he didn't want to spoil the game

"Once he booked a few of them, any foul we did got a yellow even if one or two of them maybe didn't warrant them.

"I thought Jazz did very well, especially against a good player like Agbonlahor," added Monk.

"He showed he's ready to step in like he has done before.

"Leroy came on and probably had the best two chances of the game. On another day they might have gone in and we would have three points."
