HawK

Needs some confidence and arrogance is all. I think he's trying too hard to just follow instructions and not go for the instinctive options.

I don't think there's a role in any PL team for a really slow attacking midfielder with no technique though, is there? 

 

Possibly in the Championship, which I think is Longstaff's level. 

Yes it's not ideal. He's a poor-man's Nolan if we're looking for a comparison I'd say - with none of the leadership.

For me, I may be in a minority, but I've said it before - he's an attacking midfielder. He makes good runs into the box, he can connect well striking the ball. 

When he's not 100% and running for 90 minutes pressing people down, he doesn't have the technical ability or awareness to play further back than behind the strikers.

I don't think we have that sort of position in Eddie's general play though.

Need to sign Josh just for the lols 

Almiron contorts so much just to lay it off with his left when it was such a simple in-stride pass on his right instep 

Joelinton so fking strong

Isak off? Definitely a misclick that

Only a few mins until subs are allowed.

I’ll go for Joelinton for Anderson, and Barnes for Murphy on exactly 60 mins

Tbh I just want NUFC to get the most money it can get out of this, whatever is reasonable. Anything over £10m seems reasonable to me. I don't care how quick he goes over there, I don't care about Man Utd and how quick him going there might 'help them'. I just want the money in our coffers ASAP so we can use it and get on with things. 

If he goes after the summer window I think his buy-out value is going to plummet. I think I'm in the minority but I really don't care for making Dan sit on gardening leave for 18 months and us getting nothing as a result, we don't gain anything tangible out of that. Get the money and move on.

Great, get a client call and missed the last 2 goals, all I know from this match is we're shit and been bailed out

Eddie and JT desperately signalling to make their 60 min sub or to call it off as Isak scores...

Ice cold the blood that runs in his veins

The coldest blood runs through his veins.. you know his name... /Chris Cornell RIP

Bruno lives a diving header

Whole team jogging about ball-watching except Isak and Bruno

As I said in the match thread, that lady Belgian shotputter is quicker off the line than him. He's terrified of leaving his 6 yard box.

Beginning to think he's got something on Eddie at this point. How Joe White is not getting a crack to use an Eddieism 'baffles me'. White's had more experience than Miley did when he filled in, and regardless of Longstaff's issues as a footballer, he's been playing injured for months.

I’d take 9th if it meant we sold Longstaff.

Imagine travelling 300 miles on a Wednesday night and paying to watch this shower, feel for our fans tbh

Can we at least change tactics, go more attacking...we've lost unless we change something.

Careful now, you'll be told you want Eddie out 

Hoping that decision galvanizes us a bit

Dubs off his line to gather the loose ball as quick as that lady Belgian shotputter in the hurdles

Just now, Shearergol said:

Is the forum wanting Howe out again this week? 

Don't think so, I just don't understand some of the decision making but I'm not an elite level football manager. Perfectly acceptable to question tactics/lineups/tactics in a matchthread when it's clearly not working imo.
