McLaren Dismisses Monk Suggestion

Steve McLaren has dismissed the suggestion of Garry Monk that it was a deliberate tactic of Daryl Jalmaat to kick Jefferson Montero after the defender was sent off during the first half of today's 2-0 Swans win.

Jalmaat received two yellow cards during the first half - one for a tackle from behind on Montero and the other for pulling him back as the Ecuadorian went past him with the same ease he did to Ivanovic at Chelsea last week.

However, the defender was accused by Monk of having a deliberate tactic to kick Montero with the winger being a reasonably hot property after last week's superb display.

Monk's suggestion though did not go down well with his opposite number who said "We haven't got a team capable of doing that and I don't think the game represents that now

"Our team is a football team, not kickers, so I would dispute that.

"As always, you make your presence known to your opponent, which we did, but there was one tackle too many."

Jalmaat ironically was accused by then Newcastle manager John Carver of deliberately getting himself sent off towards the end of last season. Today was almost as mad and you have to question the sanity of a player who does a shirt tug like that when already under the yellow card.
