Looks like he's swapped Nike for Adidas boots. Wouldn't surprise me if we see a few of our players changing boot brand to Adidas in the coming years.

Was a few of ours wearing sparkly new blue ones today.

I've always thought he's a bit limited and still stand by that, but he's been exceptional this season. His energy and reading of the game is outstanding and is invaluable to us as a team. Adding goals to his game is a massive bonus

What was his booking for? Couldn't tell at the time

Stopped them taking the throw-in which they're clamping down on.

He reads the game really well defensively and offensively. Alot of last year I was frustrated with his finishing or decision making. But he definitely improved as the season went on and has carried that on into this. 

 

I would say that fantastic move down the right where he tried to drill it across, he should have spotted Gordon for an easy cut back, but apart from that he was excellent. Took his goal well.

 

Felt like we signed Tonali to replace Sean's position in the first 11 but the way the season has started he is making his claim to hang on to it. And likely will now with Tonali's looming ban.

He’s reacted in the right way and taken on the challenge.

Thought last season that his good form was basically because he had some excellent players around him that were covering for his deficiencies. I was wrong, he’s just a bloody good footballer. He’s now added goals and intelligence to his game, to add to the work rate and athleticism. Keep this up and he surely gets an England call up in November.

He's got a strong shout for being called up already, but I don't think Southgate fancies him. Which is even odder because he does plenty of Henderson-style hard work. I'm delighted for Longstaff this season, he's started to score the goals he was always in position for last season, he's growing in confidence and he seems to just get better at playing a strong team role, keeps contributing all round. For some reason I don't think he'll get rewarded with an England call, but it wouldn't be a reflection on him.

Quickly becoming as integral for us as Henderson was for Liverpool. Hes not the most technical or has an abundance of ability but his contribution to the midfield 3 and his workrate is outstanding. If he can add goals to his game now it will push him to that next level. He was one of the group i thought wed have to upgrade to move to the next level but im unsure of that now. Our midfield seems so much more balanced when hes in it
