10 Things We Learned From Newcastle 0-1 Mönchengladbach

3. Wijnaldum Has Touches Of Class

He may not have found the back of the net or managed to drive Newcastle forward to a win on his St James' Park bow, but Georginio Wijnaldum showed a few touches of class that suggest he could be a huge player for the Magpies in the years to come. Able to effortlessly pick out a pass and move play on, Wijnaldum also ghosts into the box and finds himself in the dangerous positions that have made him a deadly finisher over the last few years. One particular moment in the first-half against Borussia saw the Dutchman attempt an audacious flick towards goal after a Papiss Cisse header on, which Yann Sommer did well to save. More will come from Wijnaldum - and Magpies supporters should be extremely excited about that.
