Paul Clement still believes he is the man to turn around Swansea City's fortunes, but admitted his concerns after watching his side suffer a fourth-straight Premier League defeat against Burnley.

Goals from Swansea old boy Jack Cork and Ashley Barnes gave the high-flying Clarets a comfortable victory and piled further misery on their opponents, who remain in the bottom three.

Swansea majority shareholder Steve Kaplan watched on from the stands and this performance will only heighten the pressure on the head coach and raise more questions about his future.

The 45-year-old insisted he can get Swansea's campaign back on track, but understands that if the club's owners felt someone could get more from his squad then it was their prerogative.

"Am I concerned (about performances)? Of course," said Clement.

"I'd be stupid if I wasn't. I'm concerned about the level of performance, concerned about our position in the table, concerned about how many goals we've scored or haven't scored.

"These are all things I have to work on.

"I never have those kind of thoughts (about my own position).

"If the owners – and I would say they've been very supportive – but if they ever feel there was someone that can get better out of this team and these players than I can then that's their right to do that.

"I have no doubt about my own ability and the ability of these players, and together we have to work through difficult times. Better times are in the future if you have belief and are positive."

Clement revealed Kaplan had paid a visit to the Swansea City dressing room ahead of the game at Turf Moor, and that further discussions with the American businessman were on the agenda.

“It has been a positive relationship with the owners up to this point," he added.

"Clearly he's not going to be happy with the performance or the result, which I'm not, the technical staff are not and the players are not.

“We know we have to do better. These players are capable of performing at a high level, both collectively and individually and we're gonna look to put that right very quickly.

“I have that belief but I'm not the decision maker about that."

There were chants of 'you're getting sacked in the morning' as Clement headed for the dressing room at half-time, but the former Bayern Munich assistant gave a sanguine assessment of the reaction from the home supporters and the boos that came from the away end.

“It's part of the game. Part of my profession," he said.

"A lot of supporters were here, we have 20,000 coming to each home game and a good away support as well. The majority are very supportive of what we're trying to do and in particular were very supportive last year when we were in a difficult moment and we got out of it."
