Here’s how Twitter reacted to the news…

@nufcmax__ max – “5-4-1 Hayden at centre back, Joelinton on the wing?”

@ToonMouthTyne – “That bench is pathetic. Two right backs and a left back. Shows we still need a couple of bodies in.

@ToonForChange – “Hayden at centre back in a back 5? Struggling to work out the formation!”
