r0cafella Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 He’s a great option to have, especially when we are a midfield battle where his industry is required. I hope in the future we are a little bolder and give him a rest against those teams that come and shut up shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 He'll be a solid squad player for us going forward. He brings energy and effort and pops up in good places at good times. Every successful club needs a player like that in the MF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killuminati Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) In some moments Longstaff is good and doing som dirty work that maybe gets unnoticed. He seem like a good lad and will do the job thats in the frame of his capacity. In the long term he will not develop much more. I belive this is the Longstaff we will see for now and years later. I would love to have him as a backup player and use him in some games where someone needs a rest. Last night was one of his worst perfomances but in the whole he is a player that will put in a 6/10 rating 9 games out of 10. A perfect body to just have in the squad. For me his like a Phil Neville type of player. Edited January 25, 2023 by Killuminati Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Longstaff is far more valuable in games against stronger opposition when we have less of the ball. He's invariable exposed when he's given opportunities on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeT44 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Absolutely better off the ball and to put a shift in that on the ball. Can't help but like the lad, despite obvious limitations. Wouldn't want to see him in the starting XI every week long term, but great squad player when competing on multiple fronts. Re: seeing mistakes. I think you can see all players mistakes much more now, since there are undoubtedly fewer. They seem to stand out more under Howe and I think that's credit to how well we're playing.

SEMTEX Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 He had that one nice low cross to the back post and nee fucker was there. Deserved a goal. Not a big fan of SL, but he's been part of the team that has been performing way above expectations, and his shite finishing is certainly not a unique trait amongst our midfielders, going off last night.

Conjo Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Find it weird with his shooting/finishing the last few games. He was so cool in front of goal before, and had a cracking long shot in him, scoring some absolute screamers when he was out on loan. Don't mind him getting more chances this season. If it starts to click again in the final third, with a bit more composure on the ball, he'll be a great player to have in the squad not only this season but for years to come.

Away Toon Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I'd replace Willock before Longstaff. In the short to medium term we will need to upgrade/replace a lot of our starting players if we want to consistently challenge the top 4. Only Pope, Botman, Bruno and Isak are probably of the quality we are going to need going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 17 hours ago, Smal said: I still don’t get the constant criticism of him. He’s good and I thought he was fine tonight. Defensively he never misses anything. Nobody’s passing was good in the game from either side. Players with limited technical ability always get particular scrutiny from fans. Longstaff, Lascelles, Henderson. Different levels of players but all relatively poor technically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I’d imagine his team mates love having him in the side. The ground he covers and his stamina would be very hard to replace. He is limited and his shooting has massively gone backwards but he really does suit the way we are set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I like him personally. Yeah his finishing is atrocious but the stick he gets is ridiculous. Absolutely has a place and role in this squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezertron Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Nee offence to the current media team but I’ve seen a few club interviews with that Emil Franchi bloke. Wish he would get employed full time as a club media personality to have on camera interviews. Bit like that guy that does the England stuff on official YouTube.

Josh Denzel is the England guys name and I agree he's actually very good. Has a similar sort of personality to alot of the England players which is why he gets on well with them in interviews. I do think going that route and having a specific person fronting some of the media we do and acting as a sort of a go between for the players during videos/interviews is a decent idea. As much as I'm enjoying all the new content they are doing, some of it is incredibly cringeworthy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 They need to branch out from the formal interviews they do now… sure they will whenever they get a proper 21st century media and marketing department up and running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 That video is class, super endearing. Was nice to see him talking about how he recognises that his shooting needs to improve but he’s not putting too much pressure on himself to get it right. Honestly, if he could improve his striking of the ball he could be a fantastic box to box player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
