Pilko Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Superhuman effort from this lad. Feel like his quality can be variable but he's so reliable and the recovery runs he offers are so valuable. One of the tackles he made near the East Stand second half during a Chelsea counter was outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 His work rate is elite tbf. Absolute machine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 His off the ball runs are incredible. Honestly his understanding of movement and willingness to make runs is his best attribute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 If he can work on his finishing he'll start bagging goals as well, he often gets into the right positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 His tackle on Cucurella was late, wreckless and dangerous. I fucking loved it. Was like Andy Griffin on Aston Villa's David Ginola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I really didn't think he had a future here but you have to admit he's been an integral part of the team during this run. His worth ethic and intelligent movement are just let down slightly by his speed of decision making and technique. But he still has plenty of years to improve and I get the impression will be happy to be a squad player still as we progress. But it's hard to displace him from the first 11 at the moment as it may unbalance something. You could probably say the same for almost all the lads currently in the first 11.

toon25 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I wrote him off completely after the shitshow coaching he received under the big Steve, but christ he's become a player again. Kudos to the lad and long may it last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave s Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 same as above. I kind of questioned giving him that new contract but fuck me .. he’s solid right now.. trust in eddie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I was also amongst those that thought he wasn't good enough to be starting games for us, especially for where we wanted to be (competing for European places) but happy to admit I was wrong. Last season he was poor so thought Howe had done all he could with him. I still feel he's a fraction too slow at times when it comes to passing, the pass to Trippier when he was offside for example (wasn't actually offside but pass should have been made earlier) and the one where he gave a free kick away by handling it. However he's bloody everywhere and doesn't stop running, which is so crucial to how we play. I also find it interesting how he's changed, that small stint under Rafa he would sit deep and pass the ball about quite tidily whereas now he's a lot more all action though the passing has dropped off a touch. Overall he's playing better now than he did under Rafa imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 He's very limited technically, but deserves all the credit in the world for his performances in recent weeks. Puts such a shift in and makes up so much ground to deserve his starting place despite his limitations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezertron Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I’m probably gonna rehash what’s on the previous page but I think Sean is so fucking great. When I watch our replays and highlights, I always look for him on the pitch when we score to see his reaction. It’s sad as fuck, but he is living all of our dreams playing for NUFC and I’m just chuffed for him. This team is making me into a fucking creep. Im consuming so much content and just gushing 24/7. I’ve started following players instagrams and liking their photos. I’m fucking 36 years old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont just focus so much on NUFC/football haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Ps I've had a pop at Longstaff & his, occasional, lack of urgency but he doesn't half put a shift in. As stated above, if you watch him closely he's everywhere. Our current midfield must be a fucking nightmare to play against Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Don’t normally go out of my way to praise Sean as he does a lot of the ugly stuff that isn’t necessarily spectacular but his defensive work off the ball is massive for us. I’d love it if he didn’t dwell so long on the ball and show more quality going forward but he empties the tank every single game and cuts out a lot of attacks before they even develop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
