Swans need to be aggressive - Llorente

Swansea City striker Fernando Llorente says they must be more aggressive to avoid Premier League relegation.

The Spaniard was speaking after Saturday's 3-0 defeat at Middlesbrough left the Swans second from bottom.

Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy criticised Swansea's recent form, saying they "lacked tenacity".

"If we battle, fight, be aggressive, we can be in a good situation, like [in their 3-0 win] at Sunderland," Llorente told BBC Radio Wales Sport.

Llorente joined compatriot Angel Rangel in emphasising the importance of festive home games with Bournemouth and West Ham.
