Sean Longstaff

[TRon]

He's a weak link for me like, his touch isn't great, just don't think he's great at keeping possession under pressure. But he played a nice pass out for the winner so fair play.

[Miercoles]

I think one thing that adds to his value and gets overlooked is his consistency in fitness, he's played almost every minute of every game this season and hasn't slowed down at all. Even if he's not your best player, having someone who is useful and available for every single minute of the season is really valuable when you're setting your lineup each week.

 

Death, taxes, and Sean Longstaff busting balls for 90 minutes.

Aye.  And hasn’t collected a bunch of cards too.  
 

A little rest might do him good though.  Willock has looked better for it and I reckon Joe will too. 

[Sempiternal]

Some of his passing yesterday was god awful. Very hard worker but needs to be upgraded 

[joeyt]

Absolutely runs himself into the ground every single game for us

 

He'll get replaced eventually as sadly his quality isn't the greatest but can't knock his running every single match

[huss9]

haters gonna hate.

[80]

It was almost comical how far his footwork was off versus the rest of our midfield.

[Holloway]

I know his finishing is driving every fucker round the bend, but how good is he arriving in the box sniffing out chances

[Minhosa]

Miles better than McTominay today.

[AJ9]

Huge fan of his. Seems just a really likeable guy who is performing consistently well every game. Thought that ping was flying into the net where the owl sleeps

Solid 8.5 out of ten today, just a bit scrappy in front of goal, the rest of his play was top stuff

[Pilko]

I love his knack of ghosting into the box late and getting on the end of stuff, it's a really underappreciated skill.

 

I was going to say that particular trait is a bit like Kevin Nolan but then when you think of Sean's effort, athleticism, graft and yards covered compared to him it feels very insulting to say it 

[Killuminati]

Would keep him no matter what comes in the future. Gives his everything of what he is capable of. A future rotational squad player.

The things that disturb me most is the chances he gets in to without taking them. Also sometimes very slowminded when it comes to when recieving the ball. Today for example he got the ball outside our penalty area. Majority of the man utd players were disoriented and behind him, perfect counter attack. Maxi and one other of ours on the left waving and totally ready to counter. Longstaff efforts the pass/longball but Maxi had to throw him self trying to catch it, ball went out and throw in for them. 

Situations like that are messing up the rythm and could end up costly.

For me personally Longstaff and Burn are the weak links in our squad.

 

Not saying they are bad bad players but for the next season we should upgrade them and use them as backup.

I don’t remember his chances being that easy today.
 

I’m going to always bang this drum, but I want him to be a part of our starting midfield for as long as he can be. He might have to go up a few more levels to keep his spot in the coming seasons but I reckon he can do it.

 

Every other thread I read supporters wanting him, Burn and Murphy upgraded. The three who support us. Bums me out 
 

My romanticism is gonna fuck me over.

He’s massively improved this season, he’s not holding into the ball for too long. His chasing, pressing and defensive work is outstanding. His reading of the game and movement is excellent. If he could improve his striking he’d be a fairly complete player (accounting for the fact he’ll never be a technically gifted dribbler)

[GEFAFWISP]

[gbandit]

He was class

[AJ9]

That ping for the murphy chance was unreal. He's playing exceptionally well atm.

[Mazzy]

Really good again. Difficult to remember the last proper mistake he made, he's using the ball alot better these last few weeks.

[DubblyDubblyDubbly]

He has the lowest rating on BBC, I have no idea what people have against him but he's clearly not rated by many. I think he's immense and vital to the team.

[Rafalove]

I think a lot of the stuff he does goes unnoticed. He does a fair amount of decoy runs especially when playing further forward. Not everyone will notice that

He was absolutely everywhere and looks so confident at the moment. Long may it continue. 

[80]

He does deserve more credit sometimes, it's true. Very dependable. Ultimately a weak spot in the team, but we wouldn't be where we are with a less fit, committed and tactically dutiful player.

[McCormick]

He was so shit before it made me dislike him as a person. With him playing so well I can actually see what a little sweetheart he is. Such a canny lad and really does give everything for the cause.

[Colos Short and Curlies]

He’s pretty much been the constant in the midfield.

 

it would take a couple of games of him not playing for the appreciation due to come forward.
