11 Things We Learned From Swansea Vs Newcastle

Łukasz Fabiański is a cheat!

There simply isn't a word severe enough to describe Newcastle United's performance against Swansea at the Liberty Stadium. The Magpies weren't at the races from the off and eventually succumbed to what could possibly be the most comfortable 2-0 defeat in his history of football, thanks to goals from former United targets Bafétimbi Gomis and Andre Ayew. A result that in no way was was affected by the red card handed to full back Daryl Janmaat. The Dutchman, who had a torrid afternoon against the mightily impressive Jefferson Montero, was sent off for two fouls against the Ecuadorian with the second coming via the way of an idiotic shirt pull when the winger had the beating of him. The scoreline could and arguably should have been far greater in the Swans' favour. The home side had no less than 18 shots on goal and were more wasteful rather than Tim Krul performing brilliantly on the day. All in all it was a thoroughly miserable day for The Magpies, who harked back to the gutless days of both Alan Pardew and John Carver's respective eras with worrying ease. Yes it's still early days in Steve McClaren's reign, but the new head coach can't afford to have too many more days like this if he is to endear himself to the 'Toon Army'. There were too many things we learned from happenings in South Wales that could have made this list a 50-pointer. However, we've narrowed it down to the top 11 for you...
