Southgate is a moron, keeping Phillips when he's done fuck all. 

Finally got a chance with Rodri out and loafed about the pitch like a pissed up pensioner. Get him in the England squad.

Jordon fucking Henderson ffs. Sean has played every single minute, and would easily do the covering job in an England team. Still good for us he gets to recover for a week. 

[Pilko]

Gallagher, Henderson, Phillips, Maguire.

 

Fuck off Southgate you boring cunt.

[Lush Vlad]

Three of those midfield options are absolutely rancid. Henderson has semi-retired, Phillips barely plays and has been shit when he has, Gallagher has been poor since his Palace loan. 
 

Jobs for the boys.

BORING

I still think it’s Bruno. I think you could get away with a midfield three of Joelinton, Bruno and Tonali/Anderson a lot of the time. Whereas our build up play and passing without Bruno would be shite and since he became a starter. It has been whenever he’s not played. 

We rarely play well if Bruno isn't on song. Longstaff is more critical to the press, he never stops running. He does a lot of the dirty work and covers so much ground.

Longstaff is a natural successor to a lot of what Henderson offers.

 

Really pathetic still picking Henderson when he's no longer playing at the top level.

 

Southgate is picking based on personal relationships rather than footballing merit. 

 

Henderson and Maguire selections are pretty unacceptable.

[David Edgar]

Cheeky little Shearer celebration last night.

[Ginola]

We all know he's mint, England's loss

[mikejaxer]

Glad Southgate is ignoring our players to be honest. Give them all a rest, they absolutely deserve it.

Holy absolute fuck.

Amazing stat. In those fourteen games, the two draws were Leicester home, where we hit the woodwork three times, and away at the San Siro.

[AJ9]

He's becoming the player we hoped he would be after that breakout under Benitez. He is an absolute inspiration.

[Laviofies]

He makes other player in our team play better, Just see how comfortable Bruno play along with Longstaff, Bruno is not afraid to do his trick passes, dribbles, and whatever he could do because he knows that Longstaff will 100% covered it for him if there is something wrong in the trick. 

[Weezertron]

I wouldn't want Longstaff to become the new England whipping boy. We all know he's great cause we see what he does for the team, every week. 

 

I reckon the rest of the country still see him like we see McTominay. 

 

He's our best kept secret. 

[Lotus]

I think he's very good at enabling better players to play their game. Especially good passers of the ball. I don't see that skill translating to the England set up as well. They lack guile in the middle. Well, everywhere tbh.

[relámpago blanco]

I think he's not getting the credit he deserves, his runs into the box are quality and well timed. He's limited in ways but his finishing is getting better. Eddie sees him as a goal scoring midfielder. If he keeps improving his finishing he can be quality.

[Cronky]

The sight of him smashing the ball into the net on Wednesday will be filed away as one of those treasured memories. It really lifted me off my chair, I think because it meant game over. I was very pleased for him as well, given the journey he's made over the last two years.

McTominay actually is shit though.

[Guest]

From a selfish point of view I hope he keeps getting ignored. Having one of our main 4 central-midfielders fresh after the internationals is going to be handy.

Yeah I was thinking more Henderson. Definitely agree with the point though.

Future club captain?

Nah. He won't be more than a stand in for a stand in on that side of things, he hasn't really got the character for it. But that's alright, it's not everyone's calling.

Overall you're probably right but I'm hoping that's not so true now and that Tonali can play the role. I can see Tonali, Longstaff and Joelinton being more effective than Tonali, Bruno and Joelinton. Longstaff really does seem to be the straw that stirs the drink.

Agreed. I'd worry about him playing for England, I could see the experience draining his confidence. I don't think he'd be used right and he'd be wrongly blamed for it. After all, some of our fans are only just 'starting to warm up on him' after two full seasons!
