Is Sean Longstaff playing?

Botman looking like prime Marcelino today

Chris Holland and Carl Serrant?

for shits and giggles... Pickford Walker Stones Maguire Tripps Rice Bellingham Foden Saka. Gordon Kane Fuck the two holding Midfielder bollocks....

Miley, just needs some time. 17 and done so well. But he's not in the same league as Willock, yet. Give him a season on the bench and let him find his true position and style. I agree eventually a holding DM might be his place once he fills out.

You should attack the ball, not jump with your eyes closed. One or to are playing half arsed recently. It's not up to standards that were set. Longstaff wanders round like he's Zidane. He's shite and Ive defended him for 2 seasons. Murphy pulled out of tackles last week at home also - he should be attacking that ball! No excuse.

Murphy being a soft shite now. jumping with his eyes closed.

Why is Longstaff always slowly half arsed chasing a midfielder back to our own goal? Always...

We have Bruno, a kid and a half arsed local championship lad playing against a Odegaard, Rice and a Euro Winner. We're being bossed.

I'd be more emotive to see them even on the bench. Plodders.

Joelinton....

Longstaff is boiling my blood. Doing absolutely fuck all. Pathetic.

Longstaff starting like he finished the last - passive wandering.

Decent line up. Prefer Karius to Dubs anyway, more presence - But, I'm sure i've cursed it now. See who wins the midfield battle - Big game for young Miley this. The rest is evenly matched. HWTL Edit - I cant stand these fuckers!

This! All over the fucking shop lately. I'm not sure he did much wrong today for all Dan Burns issues. Tino got the wrong side at the end also. It happens, it is a fine strike and weak GK'ing. Highlight - Miley & Gordon.

Lack a sharp point. A striker, even maybe

Fantastic today, great passing range and intelligent football brain. Showing up Longstaff tbh.

Pacey Young Right Central Defender Athletic Intelligent Ball Winning Midfielder Right Winger who can use both feet, with a little guile would be nice. A Forward who scores goals and is fit more than 1/3 games. Pacey Left Back (Hall? I'm not sure) A backup/No 1 GK who reads the game, is commanding and can kick a football to the above People. Eventually you'd have: GK/Pope Trippier / Tino Schar / Pacey Guy Botman Tino / Hall Athletic Ball winning MF / Tonali Bruno / Anderson Big Jo / Little Jo Gordon / Barnes Right Winger / Gordon Isak / Fit Forward / Young Forward Sell Miggy, Wilson, Lasecelles, Dubs, all the old boys.

Longstaff is just meh....amount of times he just chases a man back hopelessly. It's a weekly feature. He was too busy arguing with the ref at one point and let his man run off him. Just a passive, sloppy and indecisive footballer. Our Midfield has ZERO recovery pace.

Why not watch another team then? ffs

Some fucking short memories on here like, the shit BDB is getting is way overboard. He should have been subbed earlier last week, as the mismatch-up was clear from minute one due to pace, otherwise he's hardly stank the season out. He's been decent and critical in some big wins. Fickle fucking fans strike again. I'll trust Howe to make the call, but if's he up against Carl Lewis he needs to switch it out earlier, rather than watch him struggle.

Technically Schar would be superb there but he's probably slower than Bruno on the turn. And I'm not sure Howe wants any of our '3' to sit and protect in the old-fashioned sense. I remember reading about Howe, when we signed Tonali and how he sees the team as a fluid entity.

Love Dan Burn, but on tactics alone, his inclusion, and presence til the second halve was Eddie's fault.

Think he's a decent GK, mid table. Very indecisive and passive though, and never catches the ball.

Give the ball to Longstaff, Fall over, and lose the ball. Repeat.
