Swansea City coach Garry Monk has warned Cardiff City
counterpart Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to pay more attention to the conduct of his
own men.
Solskjaer accused Swansea midfielder Jonathan de Guzman
of overreacting after being struck by Craig Bellamy in an incident during the
south Wales derby that later earned the Cardiff forward a three-match ban.
Monk did not take kindly to those comments and escalated
the row on Thursday by claiming that Kim Bo-Kyung was guilty of headbutting and
punching Wayne Routledge during the same match.
"I saw Ole answering a question that my man Jon de
Guzman made a meal of it," Monk said.
"When you receive an elbow in the back of the head
and you go down normally, I don't see how that's an overreaction.
"I would have more concerns about the 35th-minute
corner for them when one of my players, Wayne Routledge, gets headbutted and
punched in the face by Kim.
"If anything I would be more concerned about
something like that than saying one of my players was play-acting.
"If you look at Wayne, when he gets headbutted and
punched in the face, he stays on his feet. He doesn't make a meal of it.
"So I think Ole needs to look at his own players
before he starts looking at mine."
Monk also revealed that striker Michu, the club's top
scorer last season, will return to full training this week after ankle surgery
in mid-December.
