Swansea City manager Luke Williams downplays West Brom job speculation following a disappointing 4-0 defeat to Portsmouth
He’s been mentioned as a top candidate since West Brom’s previous manager, Carlos Corberan, left for Valencia. But Williams insists there’s been no contact from them. He joked, “If they were at the game today, I won’t be going anywhere, will I?”
The defeat was a tough pill to swallow for Swansea. They had been on a bit of a roll at home, but this match was a different story. Williams noted that his team struggled to keep up with Portsmouth, who scored four goals, leaving Swansea looking a bit lost on the pitch.
“It’s a really tough one to take,” he said. “We didn’t compete and we struggled to get to grips with the conditions and opposition.” He acknowledged that they need to find a level of consistency if they want to improve.
Portsmouth, on the other hand, celebrated a fantastic win, marking their biggest victory in the second tier since 2010. Their coach, John Mousinho, was thrilled with the performance, especially after bouncing back from a previous defeat. He praised his team for creating chances and taking them well.
