Swansea boss Garry Monk admitted he is concerned with the form of his side after the a 2-0 defeat at West Brom.
Just one win in seven has not helped convince fans that the club can still be successful without Wilfried Bony.
The Welsh side never really got going at The Hawthorns and struggled to make any inroads against a well organised Baggies side, who emerged victorious thanks to goals from their frontmen Brown Ideye and Saido Berahino.
Monk refused to blame the departure of Bony, and insisted the whole team need to take responsibility.
“It is everything,” Monk told Sky Sports. "We lacked in all areas today.

After a positive start to the season, the Swans remain in the top half of the Premier League but Monk knows if they continue to perform like they did at The Hawthorns, they may find themselves dropping down the table.
"It is my job to make sure complacency doesn’t creep in," Monk added. "We are in a position to achieve things that we haven’t done in the league before.
"We won’t get anywhere playing like that, but we need to pick ourselves up."
