Swansea assistant manager Colin Pascoe claims that they will not alter their style of play despite scoring just once in their past three games.

Swansea assistant manager Colin Pascoe has claimed that the club will "never" change the way they play despite scoring just once in their last three games.

The Swans have been praised for their passing game, even being compared to the likes of Barcelona, but have struggled to make the most of their possession in recent games.

Friday's 2-0 defeat to Newcastle provided a prime example of Brendan Rodgers's problems, as they enjoyed more than 70% of the ball, completing over 900 passes in the process.

Pascoe, however, believes that the club's style of play should stay the same.

"We will never change how we play. We will keep passing, there were 900-odd passes we completed against Newcastle, which is a record for ourselves," he said.

"But you have to put the ball in the back of the net. The teams we have played are good teams with good players and they are hard to break down.

"The way we play, we will always create chances, but unfortunately the other day we did not have the cutting edge for the final pass or shot."

Swansea are currently on their worst run of form in the league for eight years and will travel to Loftus Road to face relegation-threatened Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday.
