The College Dropout Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Sorry 5-1. McArthur bossed it. So many times with those 2, any midfielder with some bite and an engine could dominate them. As concerned as I am with Hayden, he'll never get physically steamrollered for 90 minutes like that. He'll compete. The next phase is getting someone that can compete and play a bit more. One thing I always admired about SAF sides is that they always competed physically. At the very least, a strong and fast team. Pochettino seems to build teams in that spirit. Same with Rafa. Out with Anita & Colback, in with Merino & Hayden. Rarely out-hustled.

CPL Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 https://www.facebook.com/NUFCOnline/videos/1409216832519564/ Wow definitely didn't see that, doesn't look half as bad and like we all said he had no reason to go down in the first place as he was through on goal. Plus the fact that Olsson was holding his hand up makes him look even more guilty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I remember getting up early and going to the bar for that Hull game. There were about 15 of us Newcastle fans and one Hull supporter wearing a Jozy Altidore Hull shirt and a fedora. It was one of the most depressing things I've ever seen.

Kanji Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Merino is absolutley fantastic to watch play with the ball, he's always looking for his pass or move before receiving the ball and often makes the smart pass than not. Lovely player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 His tackling is impressive too. Doesn't seem to lunge in or go to ground while tackling, but so far seems to be able to tackle and come away with the ball while on his feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Will make a standing tackle and come away with the ball and drive forward, also, his close control when getting double teamed he's often spinning away cleverly to keep possession or dribble himself into safety and keep play moving (last 2 matches it's him turning and continuing attacks) - fantastic.

Stottie Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 If a game situation allows, it might be interesting to see him tried at #10. He offers the presence of Diame, but is technically much better. We've not seen him hit many shots, but his Spain U21 goal came from him in an advanced position and was very composed. His heading would also be a weapon for runs into the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
