The Swansea match was largely played in Newcastle's half and the Newcastle players were chasing shadows, thanks to Swansea's fine passing game. Unfortunately for Swansea, they lack a finisher, something that Newcastle does not lack at the moment. Cisse has great touch and is very clinical. The barcodes play on the break and take their chances well.
Long term, and this is not sour grapes, I'd rather have my club playing like Swansea than Newcastle. If your striker hits a rough patch, you won't be doing well and this top six side could easily be relegation candidates. They have sixth place in the bag and if Cisse maintains his form, they might get fifth. Either way, they should be in Europe next season. Ironically, we will be helping their cause if we beat Everton next week, especially if they end up sixth and Chelsea are fifth.
