Sean Longstaff

[vexred]

Get rid in the summer

[Newcastle Fan]

he suddenly lost all of his technical and physical ability.

 

On another note, fuck Tonali man, this is why we bought him for.

[gbandit]

Game by game he’s typically looking our poorest player. He’s much better than he’s showing but he needs to start showing that very soon 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

He’s always been basically crap, we may as well admit it. 

[TBG]

Seemingly bares the forums frustration of not being called up for England, and or not being sold to Woking FC.

And you love Almiron. Makes very little sense.

[KingArthur]

KDB goal so easy. Just drift behind Longstaff, pass there and boom

 

A similar to City scoring against us at Etihad, drift behind left sided 8.

Well, I can see what Almiron brings, despite his short comings. Not so much with Sean. 

[pubteam]

Completely forgot he was on the pitch, absolutely anonymous performance. Seems to have come back much worse since his injury.

What technical ability? He's got a good engine, he should get credit for that, but he's not good under pressure, and his first touch is dreadful at this level.

 

I'm at risk of repeating myself here quite a lot, but he hovers around the ball without actually wanting it.

[Kid Icarus]

Getting a bit sick of him getting the ball, not fully under control, and crumpling like a deck of cards when the opposition midfielders tackle him. I wouldn't mind, Bruno does it and he can sell it but Longstaff too often does it needlessly, gets nothing off the ref, and puts us under pressure. Hopefully he can cut it out or sell it better.

His engine is broken, watching him jog back after Bruno lost the ball leaving 2 players open right infront of him was just sad.

I'm trying to be kind. He gets in good positions to score as well, but doesn't usually score.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Since he's came back from injury he's been absolutely honking

 

I guess he's had to go straight in when fit and not had the luxury of being able to gradually ease his way back into the side

 

He doesn't seem to be doing as much off the ball as he was earlier in the season and he looks worse than ever on the ball 

[Conjo]

Was like he was at deaths door for the foul on Rodri outside our box. So tired his legs just collapsed underneath him and he fell into Rodri rather than trying to tackle the ball. Farcial that he stayed on the whole game. Literally any person on our bench would have done better past the 60 minute mark.

We have also had plenty of enough time to bring in a backup/replacement. 

The need to bring in a CM has been obvious ever since Tonali got suspended.

[TRC]

Longstaff is good tactically but that's it he needs 2 solid cms alongside him to look good. Always been the case. 

[Oregon_Geordie]

Defended him to the hilt but honestly agree, he's been bang average since November.

He's so lackadaisical on the ball and seems even more half-arsed chasing back. Lad gives hi all, but it's not good enough.

 

We desperately need some pace and physicality in the middle in my opinion, especially with Big Jo being out.

Lewis is a kid and his time will come, Bruno is fantastic but pretty one-paced. Longstaff is just very very limited and the weakest link.

 

Priority needs to be another midfielder this month, on loan, or purchased, whatever it takes.

It's the time to make unpopular decisions. Sell him for £25m and release £75m of new FFP signings. Miley can easily replace him and we  have JoeL, Tonali and Anderson who can also play there.

Who you reckons buying him for £25m?

Burnley, Everton, and any of the three promoted clubs next season. He's an English proven CL player ?

[Gallowgate Toon]

Wouldn't be surprised at all to find out he's still playing through something.

Who you talking to like that?

[gbandit]

Thought that was Sean’s best game since before his injury lay off 

[Holmesy]

I was about to post about what a tragic footballer he’s turned into, just before he scored. And then straight after scoring, he reverted to type for the rest of the game. He needs a long spell on the bench.
