Paul Clement insists he will continue to "keep fighting" as Swansea head coach after the club's poor run of form continued with defeat at Everton on Monday.
The Swans were beaten 3-1 at Goodison Park as Leroy Fer's opener was cancelled out by goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Wayne Rooney.
Swansea have won just one of their last 10 Premier League games and are bottom of the table, four points from safety.
The recent run of results have led to questions over Clement's future, but he said: "It's a difficult job at any level, you want to win, you want to play well.
"It's not something I've been used to me in my career, even here last year. As an assistant I was losing one in 10. It's the opposite.
"It's not a nice experience, I'm learning a lot from it, I will keep fighting, I will work hard, I've worked hard to get to this position and I'm not going to give up on it, I will keep going."
Swansea started better against Everton and looked to be heading into half-time with the lead until giving away a penalty in injury-time.
Even though Rooney saw the spot-kick saved, Calvert-Lewin followed up to score.
"The penalty was a key moment in the game but it's down to us to manage the game better," said Clement.
"We should have made it much harder for them to get the throw-in in, and even after they did get goal-side, track the runners; the basic principles of defending. You get in at 1-0 up and it's a positive foundation to build on."
Next up for Swansea is a home game against Crystal Palace, and Clement added: "We have to concentrate on a massive game on Saturday against Crystal Palace. They have turned the corner a little bit and it's a really important game. We have to get that win and get to 15 points.
"The only thing to do now is reflect on the game and how we could have done better and then focus very much on our performance on Saturday against Palace."
