8. Moussa Sissoko - 4 (Replaced by Steven Taylor at Half-Time)
Moussa Sissoko's performance was the complete opposite to what he offered last weekend against Southampton. The player was lazy in possession and extremely wasteful with the ball. Despite a very poor performance Newcastle fans would have been worried to see the Frenchman taken off at half-time with a suspected groin injury. Steven Taylor - 4
Struggled after coming on at a time where Newcastle had 10 men and did not look match fit as he attempted to contain Swansea's menacing attack.
