TRon Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 1 minute ago, Displayname said: 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The need to bring in a CM has been obvious ever since Tonali got suspended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Longstaff is good tactically but that's it he needs 2 solid cms alongside him to look good. Always been the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon_Geordie Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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.

500bhp Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did some great work all game off the ball and his late runs really helped us create some problems against them. Scored as well a fine finish. Struggle to see how he can be criticised tonight, was one of our best players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But our central midfield is our biggest weakness at the moment and Sean’s lack of composure on the ball cost us possession a number of times tonight. We’re trying to be a team that retains the ball, and watching him on that basis is frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it’s a fundamental issue going forward and that technically he isn’t good enough to start for us if we want to be a top six team consistently. However, tonight, I thought he was better than he’s been at any time since he came back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEFAFWISP Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 He's there to miss them! Had to laugh when he beat Bruno in a foot race to defend a counter over 50 or so yards. Must've taken them 30 seconds to cover the distance, time almost stopped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
