It wasn't great football, but Lascelles seems to feel that Newcastle shirt like crazy and it made me cheer for him and his team. I've only watched this side a little bit, so I have no idea if he's always this dedicated, but any team in the world would be lucky to have a captain with that much passion. I'm happy that Newcastle got the points, even though I'm neutral to a stupid degree here. Mostly I'm happy because Swansea seem like they don't have a plan other than keep possession and do nothing with it. It's like somebody told them "possession equals winning" and they took it far too seriously. It was painful watching them (and Sanches in particular) just pass the ball backwards all game long.
On a neutral field Newcastle would be the favorite. At the moment they are performing better on both ends of the pitch. However, considering home advantage and the players Swansea have brought in, this game provides them with the best chance so far for getting the three points. Paul Clement is a good manager and will get this Swansea team perform better eventually. The absences of Mbemba and Mitrovic weaken the Newcastle side considerably. 2-1, or 1-1 in my opinion.
