Superior Acuña Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Is this injury the one when he went down and Pickford rolled him off the pitch? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Think so, although in fairness I think that was a reaction to him being a few yards off the pitch before rolling back on Edited May 10, 2023 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Longstaff's absence has illustrated two things: first, how vital he is to the way we play (as a player he's obviously not in Bruno's class - few are - but his tidiness on the ball and engine are first class); and second, why the McTominay links were so strong for so long. I can 100% see why Howe would be interested in a player like McTominay to provide direct competition for Longstaff - we're going to need two players for each position who can play Howe-ball. And I'm also aware that some will be reading that last sentence and somewhat disagree Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I’m against McTominay on a point of principle, but it’s evident we’re very light in the centre of the park and need bodies. We’ve alighted on a system that - when fit- we’ve got the players to make it work very well. Any injuries in that position and we’re a shadow of the team we can be.

Dr.Spaceman Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Imagine at the start of the season thinking Sean Longstaff's availability would be crucial to us securing Champions League football, you'd have had to delete yourself from the internet had you expressed those thoughts.

Not much chance of that happening though, sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 There were some on here who didn't even want his contract renewed last summer. I was always a defender of Longstaff but never really expected him to become an ever present the way he has done. Even if he becomes a squad player rather than first choice over next couple of years I think it's huge to have players in and around the squad who are from the area and have a direct emotional investment in the club.
