    Makes no sense that we would play a 17 year old for entire games but Hall no minutes at all.

    Kinda had no alternatives to Miley

     

    Plus Miley really impressed when he played

    Don’t think you could do anything about Pope - Burn - Anderson - Murphy - Targett - Barnes - Tonali

     

    Did we get it right with Botman and Willock?

     

    Wilson and Isak were rushed and overplayed 

     

    Big Joe rushed as well 

     

    The Botman injury itself was unavoidable, happened as he landed but the treatment or lack of was absurd and amateurish 

     

    With Willock, looking back his minutes seemed to have been managed reasonably well, not like he was chucked straight into starting games 

     

    Off the bench, 20 mins 

    Off the bench, 18 mins

    Started, 64 mins

    Off the bench, 28 mins 

    Started, 80 mins

    Started, 90 mins

     

     

  3. His career with us has been so strange

     

    Came into the side under Rafa, where he looked technically sound and so assured, he then picks up a knee injury and when he's back Rafa has been replaced by Bruce

     

    He is pretty shit during that time

     

    Howe comes in and rescues him, his role changes from the Rafa stint, playing as a right sided 8 instead of a 6 and he's such an asset. His stamina is incredible and is a big part of that right hand side which gave us a lot of success

     

    Even at the start of this season he comes into the side and we immediately benefit from it, picking up good results. He gets injured, comes back and he's poor

     

    You think maybe he needs a few games to get going but he's just gotten worse with each game and tonight was a special performance in being utter shite

     

    He's weak in the tackle, often chasing shadows, his touch is terrible and his passing is awful. I can't think of a single positive he is bringing to the side

     

    At least with the other weak players they offer something (Miggy defensive running, Murphy pace, Burn defending aerial set pieces) but Longstaff it's nowt, absolutely nowt

     

    Howe needs to work his magic and get him back to last season otherwise in the summer we need to be ruthless and ditch him

  4. Think he's mostly been poor since coming back

     

    Don't doubt no Pope is a factor but he just looks clumsy and lacking in confidence
