joeyt Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Couldn't believe he played over 70 mins, I thought he was lucky to see the second half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Another poor showing from him today, he needs to starts stepping up or he'll find himself falling from the ranks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 His whole game is based on running and he doesnt look fit so he looks very poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Bring Hayden back quickly and gets some steal in that midfield until we get better Longstaff is just invisible in our matches of late leaves bruno with far to much to do as I think he gets caught in two minds whether to push forward or sit. Which leaves our midfield Wideopen when we lose it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he first came into the team under Rafa he looked so composed on the ball. Sometimes Howe should tell him or someone just to stay goal side is the ball and break up attacks before they get into the back 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobsonsWonderland Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 There was a moment he froze on the ball yesterday.. you could see him thinking what to do and by then two players had closed him down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 He's never reached the standard he achieved under Rafa when Man U supposedly wanted him. To me he now offers very little. He can run but not very fast, can't tackle, can't shoot, can't head the ball and not the greatest passer either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a lot better player now than he was under Benitez imo. Granted he was terrible yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 We have a problem where our CMs look absolutely terrible if they have to play on the opposite side than they're used to. Both the Joe's were awful when they've played on the right, Longstaff and Tonali both similarly looked poor playing on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happens in a lot of games, he's a player who likes time on the ball, when he's pressed aggressively he ends up getting rushed into a bad touch or a wayward pass.

Yep, it’s the biggest weakness in his game for me. He dawdles on the ball quite a bit. I do think he’s improved this under Howe, but it’s difficult to imagine it being ironed out completely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
