Disagree... Hackney is no better than Rudoni. If anything, fully fit and in full form, id much rather have Rudoni than Hackney. Rudoni has been injured for large parts of this season, played much less minutes than Hackney, been hugely out of form and playing with a dislocated shoulder problem, yet is equal on goals and only has 1 less assist.

Rudoni vs Hackney is like doing the Lampard vs Gerrard argument. Both top quality but in different ways

Rudi was the best midfielder last season but hasn't consistently hit the heights this year. So it's fair to say Hackney is the best midfielder in the league

This thread is probably in reference to it but when Boro scored the other day even the commentator said “they have the best squad in the league and they are playing like it”. I had to go and check the league table again.

Best squad! No chance they probably have the best midfield about it though!

A bit like my Wright vs Gyokeres comparisons I think any player would score more in our team than any other in this league. TBH when I’ve seen Hackney I’ve not been blown away but I’ve not watched him a lot and he’s generally seen as the best in the division. I’d like to see us go for someone with a bit more physicality if we go up tho.

He's obviously a good player and i've always said football is way more than charts and graphs, more so than any other sport, although they give a good gauge of course. He is wanked over so much that it's slightly annoying though, bored of hearing about him. You'd think the team creaming the league didn't have any good players the way some go on. Fact is, we have a lot of them.

There's absolutely no way their midfield is better than ours - Grimes, Onyeka, Rudoni, Torp, Eccles, Sakamoto, EMC...literally all of those would start in Boros midfield (obvs not all at the same time).

Hackney is good but he's not prime Xavi FFS. And by prime Xavi, I'm obviously referring to Ben Sheaf away at Wolves in the Cup QF.

He is good to be fair but I'd take every single one of our players over him.

I mean they haven't anyway, they haven't got a striker better than even our second choice.

Don't care what anyone says, Boro are a good watch, doesn't mean they're the best team, they're clearly not, but they play nice stuff.

Watching Ipswich makes my eyes bleed.

They are fart and no shit. Lots of tipy tappy pretty football but no end product and how many seasons now are they the nearly team bottling the last games of the season

It's brilliantly poetic how they caught up with us after our inconsistent patch, we beat them soundly, put them back in their box and have won 5 in a row after that as well.

They might know how to pass it square and backwards but they don't know how to score. Brilliant stuff.

Simply comparing goals and assists is not a way to judge a player, there's for more to it than that. I find it infuriating, especially when players play in different positions and have different responsibilities on the pitch. Comparing Rudi and O'Hare's output for instance would make more sense as both play behind the striker, but even then it still depends to some extent on the wider team.

I'm not saying that means you're wrong and that Rudi is not better than Hackney, but I'd expect Rudi to be scoring and assisting more given he plays further forwards in a team which on the whole gets the ball into the box a lot more.

It's a team game after all and as long as the team are scoring and winning, frankly I don't care if we have the best individual players or not, as long as we have the best overall combined 11 (or squad).

Hackney is the best player in the league and is probably pulled down by what's around him at boro, but we have the best midfield in the league and it's not close.

Letting Boro catch up for one game just to beat them then leave them flailing in the mud again was elite level trolling.
Proper 3 horse race for second, that'll be a fun watch for the neutral. Hope its Millwall, really hope its not Ipswich.

Boro and Millwall for me. Best chance of 12 points next season.

Hackney's good but Louza at Watford is probably the best midfielder I've seen in the rest of the league this season.
