Was good tonight. He’s not quite quick enough to play that far forward role at PL level but it could benefit to push him further up than he has been playing.

 

Quality of the opposition has to be a factor.

 

His brother was poor tonight though. Lost the ball too much.

Love that he and Matty can strike a ball with real pace and accuracy.

 

Matty has the look of Scholes about him to me. Not likely to ever be as good but if he plays his cards right he could easily be a double figure scoring CM in the PL.

 

Sean less so, though it's hard to judge atm given the season he's had. Last year you'd say the same.

I think both long-term will never be really good enough, although right now for this current team they are/will be. Cracking strike mind last night and I think of the two, Sean needs a proper coach helping him the most to remain at this level or without, end up a League One or Championship player. Whereas his brother seems to be a player in the mould of Ritchie who because he’s busy and has lots of energy and work-rate etc he’ll probably have a more decent career being that kind of player for shitty teams like ours well coached or not. I’m delighted they seem to be doing so well or rather well enough, however, as young Geordie lads living the dream so to speak.

Our shape looked a lot better last night til Joelinton went off. The front 3 had more support and Bentaleb looks to pass forward which is nice. Long staff looked strong in the first half, second half it went to shit with no striker.

I know what I was watching last season, and Longstaff definitely looked a player. But then with Rafa his role was very clear, and he knew exactly where his team mates were running. Obviously if you are a central midfielder, little things like that make the difference. And by little things, I mean coaching.
