DahnSahf Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, 1964 said: Is that right? I'm sure we've seen pens given for example when there's been someone thrown to the ground before the corner is taken. Nah, if they punched you in the face they'd get a red card, but you'd still be left waiting for the corner. ? The ball doesn't have to be in the area though, just in play, so you can get a pen while it's on its way from the corner. Edited April 30, 2023 by DahnSahf Grammar (rogue apostrophe).

duo Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Insane how essential this lad has become to our midfield. Far play - excuse me whilst I go and eat some humble pie. I was totally wrong about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Lads class Rafa recognised that and Brucey almost destroyed the lad. Still think the Mancs we’re prepared to pay 30 plus for him that summer on Carracks recommendation. I think there’s more to come lad is growing in confidence and will be essential to plans going forward with more matches in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I think his lack of presence is pretty overrated but it was pretty staggering a few times today where Xhaka just ran off Joelinton with ease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's down to lack of options and having no one capable of doing what he does rather than him or his absence being overrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Like the Villa game it really shows when he is not in the team, the midfield just isn't the same without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viana Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 He is our Darren Fletcher. He doesn’t play the game with a cookie cutter role. He fills in gaps, he balances out what the other midfielders are doing, and he just offers us a diligence that’s hard to get out of our other players.

Lazarus Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Were really missing longstaff - his workrate is massively under-rated. Such is the amount of ground he covers that: In defence he often becomes an extra CB almost and sometimes an extra fullback. In midfield he's a press monster. In attack, hes sometimes an extra wide man or he'll make a late run in to the box through the middle. Hes not the perfect midfielder by any means but hes perfect for Eddies system i think.

Solitude20 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Bruno is just more likely to lose the ball when Longstaff isn’t there, just like what happened before their first goal. The other team could really press hard against Bruno once he receives the ball in front of our defenders but Joelinton/Willock wouldn’t be available near him to help him come out of it, and he eventually would lose the ball. That’s where Longstaff was really helping. Edited May 8, 2023 by Solitude20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
