"Brainless And Lazy" - Pundits' Views On Newcastle's Loss To Swansea
4. Jason Roberts
While most pundits lambasted Newcastle, Jason Roberts found the time to actually praise the Swansea players. The footballer-turned-pundit labelled the Swans as "dangerous", and singled out Bafetimibi Gomis, Andre Ayew, Jefferson Montero and Jonjo Shelvey for praise. He tweeted:
"Top 7 for Swansea? Gomis, Andre Ayew, Montero and Shelvey have all started the season very well. All with a bit to prove, dangerous Swans."
On saying that, Roberts did make sure he could at least criticise Daryl Janmaat - and Magpies owner Mike Ashley - as well though. He added:
"Newcastle players doing 'Newcastle under Mike Ashley things' ... what the hell was Daryl Janmaat thinking?!"
