AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 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. Agree with this. His positioning isn’t the best. 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. Well summarised, our midfield is an embarrassment and has been for years.

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. He was great Think great is a bit of an over exaggeration like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Yep. Our CM has been needing upgrading for years. Merino was on the right path. Shame it didn't work out. Bossed Real Madrid a few weeks back also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Holden Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Not really, he was extremely good in posession, a good passer, good for tranisitons, and it was only will get better Yeah he was canny for us, showed flashes of brilliance and was always neat and tidy - even when he wasn't at his best . Had plenty of potential. But I wouldn't say he was great for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 “I remember having dinner at my house and looking at my phone and seeing Rafa had finally left — ‘Wow, this is real’. And then the next thing, Ayoze Perez had gone to Leicester for £30 million — ‘Pfff, this isn’t good’. Then we didn’t sign Salomon Rondon (the previous season’s loan success) on a permanent deal and I was thinking, ‘This is an absolute disaster. This is ripping apart what we’ve built for the last three years’. “We’d finished that season so strongly. We had a stable team. Everybody knew their jobs, which way we were playing and what we were trying to achieve. I felt like it was my best spell in a Newcastle shirt. Because of all that, it felt like such a kick in the teeth. We came back to pre-season and there was no manager. It’s not like there was anybody to impress. There was no fresh start. We hadn’t replaced the players who left. You’re thinking, ‘This is wrong’. https://theathletic.co.uk/2168284/2020/10/29/isaac-hayden-newcastle-interview/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Enjoyed that interview. Makes this post look a bit daft Pull your stupid twisty face as much as you like, him being dropped by Rafa and not getting a game played just as big a part of him wanting away, don’t care what anyone says. Amazing how everything is all hunky dory again now he plays all the time under Bruce. Its that hunky dory he is more than willing to stay away for another 6 years. Well until he ever gets dropped again, then he’ll be slamming in that transfer request again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I was expecting him to be a liability in defence tbh, although he was probably lucky in that we were playing West Brom. Massive respect for putting in a shift after Covid though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
