Happy to backtrack on my comments about him at HT. I thought he got himself in the way to good effect on a few occasions to begin with but he was absolutely brutal in that second half. I've been an advocate for keeping him in the team despite his limitations, because he's got great stamina, he's useful in the air and he's got a goal in him - but if he's gonna play like that it's absolutely pointless.

Just need to move him on to whoever is fucking stupid enough to buy him from us. Price is irrelevant, just get him out

 

I hate to be thinking this of a local lad who scores the occasional goal but then that is literally exactly just what he is and I cannot see him being anything more than that

 

He offers nothing vast majority of the time and can be extremely frustrating. I just don't see us moving to the next step with having him in our squad.

If he's not doing that half space run then he's pretty much not doing anything else if we're the ones with more of the ball. Miley is so much more purposeful.

 

Longstaff is another Miggy in our evolution. Can be useful tactically with his legs, stamina etc. but not what you want as a regular starter.

Could be a decent player for a team further down the league, or Championship.

Heck he could join his brother at Toronto and be a legend.

Sadly with us I doubt he’ll ever be anything more than a squad player.

Having energy and stamina is fine but when it's just headless chicken stuff, it's useless. Running around and trying is fine but when it's not backed up with footballing intelligence then it's useless. Same goes for Almiron. Running and trying isn't enough, sorry lads, off you pop

I've no compulsion to slaughter him or Dubravka only on the proviso they're not here next season, they've done their time, tried but not good enough not by a long chalk and its getting longer by the game.

:lol: "Off you pop." Pretty brutal considering what these lads have given the club over the last two or three years in-particular, mind. 

 

Thanks now FUCK OFF.

It'll already have been mentioned, but tying his shoelaces during a rare Newcastle attack was a corker [emoji38]

 

Genuinely couldn't believe what I was seeing when this happened.

I'm just done with them tbh. I've seen them try their best and their efforts are appreciated but the lack of quality from the pair of them has fucked me off in the last few months. It's not their fault, I understand they're doing their best but it's just not good enough. They both need to be moved on and I'm not going to feel bad about it either. They're both poor, poor footballers despite how hard they try. 

 

edit: I never told them to "FUCK OFF" either btw ;)

He's been crap but he's also been unnecessarily ran into the ground. It's blatantly obvious he needs taking out of the firing line for a rest and yet he's getting flogged to death for 95 mins (125 at Blackburn) every single week. We've got options now and he just won't give him a break, not even for 10 minutes, it's mental.

 

Hope he gets sat down for Anderson soon, he needs a break desperately. 

 

Still think he's got a part to play in the squad, but he needs the right midfield partners and rotated in and out to suit.

He makes the run but if the ball isn’t perfect he rarely gets on the end of it because he is so slow. 
 

Can’t be arsed watching him plod around the pitch, falling over when someone breathes on him and throwing his arms in the air as he loses the ball once again
