Consortium of one Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 We all know our midfield is shite. Hayden is the best of a moribund group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 He’s probably a 6/6.5 out or 10, the rest 4s & 5s in terms of Premier League quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Our central midfield is just bad. Shelvey, Hayden, Longstaffs and Hendrick. They're all either squad player quality or not good enough. Our weakest area in the squad by a mile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I miss Ki. He was pretty shit for us tbh. Was he though? Compared to the shit we have now I think he was pretty much the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit then? Yeah, I worded it badly. I mean he'd easily get in our team now. Dinna like, he barely got a game under Bruce as it was and we've only added Jeff Hendrick to our midfield since Ki left.

Infinitely Content Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Possibly aye, he was better on the ball than most of our lot, to look for a positive. I'm personally just waiting for Bruce to say something along the lines of "if we had 10 Jeff Hendrick's we'd be alright" whilst we sit in the relegation zone post-Christmas.

Consortium of one Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Any player we look at has to be looked at in the context of who his head coach is. It's the Bruce effect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Any player we look at has to be looked at in the context of who his head coach is. It's the Bruce effect. Yes and no, Bruce doesn't get what he could out of them, but also the 5 of them aren't good enough to move us forward as a side and bring out the best in the attacking talent we have.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 If Hayden is one of or our best players in there... fucking hell, he’s turbo shit. A nothing player! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickMack Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 As much as he seems a nice lad, he’s easy one of the most overrated players by our fans. The whole of the twitter fan base seem to always compare him to Rice saying he should take his place in the national team. He can win a tackle, but he’s bang average in my opinion and doesn’t protect the defence at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 If we think he doesn’t protect the defence we should try out central midfield without him. Frightening thought. Of course he’s not that good in the wider scheme of things, but he’s currently essential to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 If we think he doesn’t protect the defence we should try out central midfield without him. Frightening thought. As a team we don't protect the defence, our covering is pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayden can be as good as Rice on his day but then Rice isn’t as good as Rice half the time, so we’re comparing players who are utterly inconsistent. The problem is that most premier league teams have a midfielder who can do it all, some even have two or three. Where as we have one who can kick a ball but moves like a snail, one who can get around a bit but zero creativity and one who can tackle but otherwise does little else of any note. Oh and the other two locals, the jury is still out on them. They just seem like odd shapes in a puzzle they aren’t a part of. If the takeover ever goes through, we need a total overhaul of the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'd still say Matty could be our best and that he's been held back by not actually starting a game without Sean also starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hayden isn't as good as Rice, but hes a decent lower Prem CM imo, and easily our best CM, not that thats saying much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Holden Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Wish Merino had stayed One of most painful sales for me. Had been so long since I’d seen a player like him for us.
