Sean Longstaff

[RS]

He’s really good at being anonymous. Hiding in plain sight again today. 

[The Prophet]

Doesn't look fully fit to me.

[joeyt]

He was atrocious today

Just a walking shirt today, another rushed back and ran into the ground due to circumstance

[The College Dropout]

Should’ve swapped with Bruno and just sat in front of MGW the entire game. 

[SiLvOR]

Awful from him today. Whether it's a fitness issue or something else, that was one of his worst games for us under Howe

[Gallowgate Toon]

One sweeping pass aside, god awful. 

[alexf]

Yep wasnt pulling up trees this season anyway but since returning from injury, has been a competition winner out there. Was awful today. Alongside Burn and Miggy. 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Cannot wait until he’s not playing for us. 

[Ste]

Looks lost on the other side of Bruno. Trippier marshals him well on the right.

[Big Geordie]

Again - the lads not fully fit. Same as Gordon.

Gordon's got some top boy vibes about him though. Longstaff always looks like he doesn't really believe he belongs up in that company.

[ElDiablo]

Should really be phased out sooner rather than later. We need someone with better technique in that position. Miley already much better in that department.

Been dreadful since coming back from that injury

Agreed, he's like a different player. Could be a case he was brought back too early, seems a yard short of pace, constantly labouring on the ball and trying to buy free kicks but getting it all wrong

 

[Ronaldo]

Never been a massive fan but he’s varied between a hindrance and being completely invisible recently.

[OverThere]

Slow in recovery and weak in possession. What in the heck happened???

[Sempiternal]

Runs like he has bricks tied to his feet 

[mouldy_uk]

I remember the olden days when people were saying he was more important than Bruno to our team

 

 

[Ketsbaia]

Damn, so that really was just some flukey form. Enough to con us into thinking he was something else. But he's just average.

Or he’s been rushed back from injury and isn’t quite right like a lot of our players? Don’t be so short sighted man.

He's the same as Almiron, Krafth etc. A really good squad player but not first team material.

He’s always been pretty weak in possession, plays for fouls that aren’t there every match. Infuriating it hasn’t been coached out of him.

He's just not that gifted, he's a workhorse basically. The difference is immediately obvious when you compare Miley's use of the ball and his eye for a pass. Longstaff's main asset is his running off the ball, but he's just not so good on it.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I would say this because I don’t rate him, but I don’t think he’s ever been very good.
