Martin Olsson revealed emotions boiled over in the Swansea dressing room after their latest defeat against Stoke on Saturday.
Paul Clement's side dropped to the bottom of the Premier League for the first time this season after goals from Xherdan Shaqiri and Mame Diouf gave the Potters a come-from-behind 2-1 victory.
Swansea's poor run has seen them take just one point in seven games, with pressure mounting on Clement - Wilfried Bony's early goal was only their eighth of the season, joint worst with the previous bottom side Crystal Palace.
Olsson said: "Today was one of those days where some frustration came out in the dressing room.
"Of course it gets a bit heated but in a good way. We all need to wake up as a team and we need to run for each other, create chances, offensively, defensively, like the end of last season.
"But we're a team, we stand behind each other."
Clement said after the game that Swansea had no excuses for being bottom of the table and Olsson says players have to start looking at themselves to turn things around.
He added: "Now it's time to get tough and if you need to dig some players out, you need to dig some players out. It's time for us to be men and go and fight on the pitch.
"The manager told us what to do. We need to listen to him. We knew there was going to be a long ball in and we had to deal with it, and of course the first goal the ball was given away.
"Simple, silly mistakes. It's frustrating. I don't want to keep saying it over and over again.
"When we conceded the first goal, most of the heads go down and we're not playing as aggressive. It cannot happen. We need to be stronger mentally, much stronger, because it's going to be a long season."
