Bob Bradley: 'International break not ideal timing'

Swansea City boss Bob Bradley says that the recent international break came at a bad time for his side following their 3-1 defeat to Manchester United.

Swansea City boss Bob Bradley has admitted that his team could have done without the international break after their disappointing performance at home to Manchester United last time out.

The Swans lost 3-1 to Man United in their last league match on November 6, with that result leaving them 19th in the Premier League table on five points, level with basement side Sunderland.

Bradley concedes that the international break came at a bad time, but has revealed that on the positive side, he has a fully-fit squad for this weekend's trip to Everton.

"Everyone has come back fit. Some came back late. They're all ready to go again. It's not the best time for an international break but I don't think there's ever a great time," Bradley told reporters.

"We are on the heels of the Man United game, which we didn't feel good about. To have a few minutes after the game to get at a few things and then everybody takes off isn't perfect. But then if you look at the plus, even though it's a small group, you have the chance to get back in to training and push things that need to most emphasis."

Swansea have only won one of their 11 league matches this season, losing eight times in the process. Meanwhile, only Hull City have conceded more goals (24) this term.
