Swansea City's Jack Cork says new manager Paul Clement has boosted the Premier League strugglers' confidence.
Cork and fellow midfielder Ki Sung-yueng believe there was an improvement despite their 2-0 FA Cup exit at Hull.
Cork said: "He (Clement) has given us a bit of confidence. You could see we played some good stuff at times and it's looks like we're trying to go in the right direction."
Ki added: "I think the players have the confidence back."
Cork contends that even in Clement's first game in charge after succeeding American Bob Bradley and replacing caretaker Alan Curtis, Swansea looked a better team.
