STM Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 To be fair, last season he was waaaaaaay better with the ball than he was the year before. Perhaps we trust him and Eddie to get him back to his best? We know he's not as good as Tonali on the ball but Longstaff is still vital to our success. We will need both.

M1tche Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Sharpness on the ball was understandably off, about 70 mins in I was hoping Tonali would come on, just so we could get control of the game on the ball. That said, his forward movement, energy and breaking up of play was what we have been missing the last few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wouldn’t have won if it wasn’t for his engine imo. Agree with this. Poor team performance he was probably our best til tiring. Wilson motm was a bit weird. Token one cos he scored Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Seems to have the concentration of a 5 year old mind, he gave the ball away far too often. Thought him and Anderson were poor in midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Had that one went in!! he had his shaky moments but also worked very hard and almost won us the game stopping that attacking then getting a chance of his own, again our midfield looks better with him in it.

Dokko Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 2 Longstaff starts, 2 clean sheets. He brings that bite back into the side, it's attitude more than anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Thought he was a lot better today in possession and back to last seasons form. Has to quit the embarrassing dives though, he’s really bad at them. Edited September 19, 2023 by Pata Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I think he’s outstanding off the ball and really important in those wide areas. Makes that underlapping run all the while and often times it well. Positionally he is great and his workrate is unmatched. He’s an important player and I bet he is a coach’s dream the way he follows instructions and how tactically aware he seems to be. But I honestly feel I am watching a different game to others at times? I think he is severely limited on the ball and struggles with any sort of positive passing. His touch is poor and he takes an age to do anything in possession. He certainly needs to be in the team at present, based on who is available. But when we have the Joe combo fit. I think in time, he will become more of a player for certain games and situations. Not a starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
