I know which one I'd categorize Xhaka's foul under
Which one? None of them are even remotely close to Xhaka's challenge. The sending off was a blatant stomping of the player who was trying to get the ball, standing on him and stopping his momentum thus potentially seriously injuring him.
The second was basically a body check which could have ended in serious injury if the player had more momentum. Again, not comparable to Xhaka's foul.
Really don't know how you were going to make whatever point you wanted to.

The second was a shocker from our CBs. They just froze while all Barrow did was take a step back and finish.
Yes second goal was very problematic because neither CB even considered marking their lone striker who was on the pen spot.
My initial thought was that it was indicative of their inexperience playing together, hopefully that's how it turns out?
Yup it's probably miscommunication. They both thought the other one was going to cover the striker but none of them did. I reckon the two of them are just getting used to playing together.

Mustafi sees Xhaka closing in on the goalscorer so drops deeper thinking Xhaka has it covered. However, Xhaka realizes the amount of space Swansea players had on the edge of our 18 and tries to cover the area without telling Mustafi to mark the goalscorer. It's just a colossal miscommunication and these are the simple errors we need to cut out of our game in a league as competitive as this. Here is the goal: https://my.mixtape.moe/cpzkog.mp4
It should also be noted that Cazorla would be covering the edge of our 18 but had to go wide because Iwobi was late in supporting Monreal.
