Lewis Hall

[1964]

MoTM today for me

[PauloGeordio]

So exciting. He's growing in confidence. Only going to get better!

[SAK]

I like when the attacking player is breaking forward he doesn’t run back but comes forward to nick it.

[Yorkie]

He must have around twenty PL starts under his belt? Plays with the confidence of someone with 100+.

 

Coming on leaps and bounds atm; love the way he moves the ball. 

[David Edgar]

He's bloody elite already.

[andyc35i]

Loved it when there was a break for Forest (think it was in the first half) and he just kept pace with Elanga, did a little swivel to get possession of the ball and then looked forward for a pass - so much talent 

[M1tche]

Going through the gears now, and it's brilliant to see. Kid is class on the ball, seems to be getting quicker, brave in the block, reads passes so well to nick them. 

 

If he keeps up this progression he's going to be a truly Elite LB

[CPL]

Joelinton 

Gordon 

Hall next in the redemption arc. 

 

Player of the season so far for sure. 

[Newcastle Fan]

So impressed with him today, looked incredibly comfortable and hardly put a foot wrong, even Nottingham Forest fans were pointing out how good he looked.

[STM]

He's so mature man. His face looks like he should be in grange hill but he plays like an absolute boss. You can see the confidence flowing through him.

[wormy]

In contrast to the Trips/BDB combo of the last couple of years, we've basically swapped the flanks over where Tino at RB should be ready with the no-nonsense defence while this absolute star can help us progress from the back.

 

Getting ahead of myself but they could be perfectly complimentary to each other for both us and England for the next decade.

[toon25]

Another example of how Eddie's gradual integration of young players pays dividends so far.

Kin hell. He’s playing the Trippier role with these stats.

You could see us the last couple of weeks trying to get the ball to his side the way we did with Trips.

[Scoot]

He's been worth the wait in terms of we were all questioning why we signed him last season. Trust Eddie. 

 

Hopefully Osula is similar...

Still needs a song

 

He always runs while others walk
He acts while other men just talk
He looks at this world, and wants it all
So he strikes, like Lewis Hall

He knows the meaning of success
His needs are more, so he gives less
They call him the winner who takes all
And he strikes, like Lewis Hall

 

Any woman he wants, he'll get
He will break any heart without regret
 

His days of asking are all gone
His fight goes on and on and on
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all
So he strikes, like Lewis Hall

No.

Playing like a young Charlie Daniels out there 

[lovejoy]

Just got back from the match, this lad was superb.

After about ten paragraphs you get some decent quotes from him. 

 

Lads, he's a Ben Arfa fan 

 

Interesting that he says he arrived expecting to play a lot more last season. Sounds like he's done really well to fight through that difficult period last season.

One does not simply walk into an Eddie Howe team.

[The College Dropout]

Lad says he thinks he can play in midfield. 
 

 

Some of you think it’s akin to playing Schar in midfield. It ain’t. 

[JEToon]

He does say he can play in midfield, but he does say a fair bit more than that and I would be inclined to agree with him. 

 

“I feel I could play in midfield if the manager wanted me to,” Hall says. “I did in pre-season but as a career I feel I have more ability at left-back then in midfield. The way we play at Newcastle really suits my game. The full-backs are really involved. I get loads of the ball in good areas. I like to get forward, so when I am building from the back and getting into the final third, I like to do that and create chances.”
