Swansea can focus on Premier League survival after FA Cup exit at Hull City

Paul Clement's first game in charge of Swansea ended with a 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Hull, which might eventually help the Welsh club more than it'll hurt.

Positives

Being out of the cup and able to concentrate on survival while simultaneously forcing a relegation rival to play at least one more fixture is a huge positive. On the field, the reappearance of Stephen Kingsley is good news for the Swans attack. Federico Fernandez's renaissance will mean either Swansea regain a strong defender or get to cash in for maximum value this month.

Negatives

There was no passion or intensity throughout most of the game.
