Yorkie Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Only saw the last 15 minutes today as I've mentioned but thought he played a huge role in seeing that out. He's got an engine on him, just sadly next to nothing else. Him, Fraser, Miggy - they're all like that. Really really want him to come good L.

Saw something today that showed he’s actually a pressing fiend too. Which isn’t something that would pass the eye test. Didn't @ManDoonhave stats showing he has one of the lowest in the league? 0.4 per game or something? Maybe the truth's somewhere in the middle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to learn to keep his head up when on the ball. By the time he gets his head up, the moment to pass will already have gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also note how high Joelinton is on that graph and hes only played that role since Howe came in, given a full season he could be top on that.

Guest HTT II Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Looked a man possessed when he come on, lots of pressing, energy and also gave some decent protection cover. Still bobbins though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 He was better yesterday and put a good shift in, but sadly he just doesn't have the quality or the pace we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's improving. I hope it continues. Dropped for the game yesterday but took his opportunity when it came, rather than going in a strop. I do feel his clash with Bruce was 6 and half a dozen, and it would have been best for everybody if he left, but he seems to buying into Howe and if he can get back on course with his development, he can still catch up. Don't think he'll increase his speed much, but his reading of the game could improve enough to cover some of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Biggsbond14 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Had a great cameo when he came on and thought he played with a bit more composure. Think he did most of his stuff on our left midfield and he had lots of space but not sure if that was bad marking or just genuinely playing well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 He's looked a touch sharper the last week or two and clearly benefitting from the improved fitness the players now have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I’ve been enjoying these sorts of graphs lately. So Longstaff Is good at pressing. Not so good once he gets the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I’ve liked him, or been wanting him to do well, ever since those great performances under Rafa. He’s let us down too often and I’m still not convinced, but I’d keep him for now. May be a player there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so good once he gets the ball. Not that surprised tbh, he does chase players down, if somewhat clumsily at times. The main issue is as you say, his use of the ball once he's got it isn't that great. But I still prefer him to Shelvey, I think he puts more pressure on the opposition, even if Shelvey has more quality on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickKluivert Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Out of contract in the summer. Do we want to keep him? Would he want to stay? I assume if we want to keep him we will be able to agree a suitable contract. Rejoining Rafa is not an option right now with Rafa out of work. I like to keep local lads/academy products whenever possible. Boiled my piss watching Steve Watson play for Everton and Villa all those years. At the same time, he does not appear to have developed as we thought he might a few years ago and does not really look good enough for where we aspire to be (assuming we stay up).

jonny1403 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Makes sense to wait until the summer in any event as if we go down you'd imagine we would want to keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 How did he do after he came on? I have a feeling Howe still sees a player in there and might get him looking half decent again, assuming he can find a way to get in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
