Paul Clement has a tough task on his hands

To be frank, this was a humiliating performance from the Swans. The change in personnel in the dugout, which the owners believe is the key to retaining their status in the Premier League does not seem to be taking them places.

Paul Clement, no doubt, has a firefighting exercise on his hands and alongside Makelele, needs to quickly shore up the Swansea defence. A younger Makelele is what this Swansea side needs and at times one could sense the helplessness of the Frenchman. Having worked with Clement earlier, the Frenchman must wonder where he has to start in order to stop the defence from conceding goals.

The Welsh side did give a good account of themselves, holding on for 37 minutes, but once the first goal went in the defensive jitters were back. Swansea were fortunate that the scoreline was restricted to four goals given the amount of chances Arsenal created.
