Neil Taylor's half-time substitution wasn't an easy decision for Guidolin

Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin insists he has no problem with Neil Taylor after replacing the Wales defender before half-time against Chelsea.

Taylor was the victim of a tactical decision after 42 minutes last Sunday as Guidolin abandoned his three centre-backs experiment and reverted to a flat back four.

The 35-times capped international was visibly unhappy at the call, and could clearly be seen asking, 'Why now?' after taking his place in the Swansea dug-out.

Guidolin said he later apologised to Taylor, but claimed the decision was essential after Swansea, 1-0 down at the time with Chelsea dominating, fought back to draw 2-2.
