Geordie Ahmed Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 That spell under Rafa he was good like but whether that was a purple patch, the injury ruined him or no Rafa did, ultimately since he's been shocking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Pilgrim Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 He did an interview in the programme before the spurs game where he said he’d had mental health issues when recovering from his first injury, but my eyes are telling me he was borderline quick enough in the first place and the first proper injury took another couple of yards off him. He would definitely do better with a proper CM alongside him but I’m very much questioning whether he has the legs to get through a rough patch now. Shame cos on paper he is a nice prospect.

Away Toon Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Apparently Digne thinks Rafa's football is too defensive. For Everton he's right, for us he's just what we needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Never thought I’d say this. But considering Howe was linked with him in the past. Assuming Shelvey is out, I think I’d rather see Hendrick start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 This guy looked more like his old self athletically today. Got about, pressed well and got stuck in. More of that please. Probably just needed some actual training. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandrotastico Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 He was better on the ball, but he has zero turn of pace or positional sense. He very very one paced and slow to move the ball. Alongside Shelvey and the beast, we need something else in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Back to his best today. Good on him. Hope he gets into a run of form. Although we were fortunate today to come up against one of the worst midfields in the league with McTominay and Fred. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy was class when he managed to get involved, but still seems very sluggish and laboured compared to when he first broke through. He is so often second to balls or trailing play. I like him, but he needs to sort out his physicality to be a consistent Premier League player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Offers more than Willock if we're going for a midfield two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Pardew Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Willock has been shocking all season but comparing these two is pointless anyway. Willock is a CAM who doesn't fit into Howe's system while Longstaff is a much more traditional CM/CDM. Problem is he doesn't have the stamina or physique to play this role. He was completely useless in the last 15 minutes tonight again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 He got involved in our goal, but most of the time he looked slow, hesitant, and didn't impose himself on the game. I don't know what's happened, whether it's the long-term effects of an injury or something between his ears. But we do need some pace and energy in that position, and he's very short in those areas.

Yorkie Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Leagues above what we've seen for the last good while but (without seeing it again in a slightly less emotional state) I thought he was shite for the goal. Cavani should have a CM within a yard or two of him in that scenario and Longstaff was nowhere to be seen. But he had a huge role in our goal and was decent otherwise. But we won't see much more of him if the transfer window goes well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
