Liverpool fans warned: don't expect a quick fix in January as Brendan Rodgers ... - Telegraph.co.uk

"When I came to Swansea in my first season there were 12 players that were used and six moved on. In the second year seven came in over the course of the season and there were nine who went the other way.

"Until you get that turnover of players you can only look at it then as your team. But we will work with the players we have."

Rodgers does not expect there to be major alterations to his squad in January, given the amount of money spent prior to his arrival

He said: "I am not so sure it will be in January to be honest. This year the club wanted to balance the books and see where it was at.

"There was a big investment in the club and obviously a lot of players went out in the summer and a few came in.

"We will look to do some business in January to help and support the players here, but that is where we are at as a football club and it is something the owners trust me to grow over time. Eventually we will get there."

Swansea manager Michael Laudrup, meanwhile, was happy with a point and pleased to see his side record a first clean sheet since August.

He said: "I don't remember the last time we had a clean sheet. To me if it is 2-2 or 0-0 it the same, but I know for defenders and goalkeepers it is important and it was nice for us.

"To extend our good run is important. We have a difficult week with three games in six days and we want to try and extend it further.

"If we win on Wednesday (against West Brom) it will give us 20 points already which would be fantastic after 14 games."
