6.5% - Massadio Haidara Held Possession For A Longer Period Than Any Other Newcastle Player
He may have been caught out on a number of occasions defensively, but Massadio Haidara actually held on to the ball for the longest period of any NUFC player against Southampton. The Frenchman was in possession for 6.5% of the game, with only Southampton's Steven Davis (7.9%) holding on to the ball for longer. Jack Colback (6.1%) and Daryl Janmaat (6.0%) were third and fourth on the list respectively.
