Barnes23 Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 Carrying an injury still I believe? Find it hard to be too critical if so, but would definitely like to see us give some sustained minutes to Anderson before the season is out and take Longstaff out of the firing line.

Holloway Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 Criticising Sean is one of the grimmest for me like, local lad living the dream and that, but I find myself screaming "improve on your obvious shortcomings " and it just doesn't happen. Ponderous in possession, failing to deliver a key pass, and a tendency to flap in good scoring positions( which a lot of the time come about through razor sharp awareness and subsequent runs). Happily keep him as back up next season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a brilliant professional - can never doubt that, but the standards and expectations have risen and he’s struggled to keep up - a fresh start for him away from NUFC is required Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He covered loads of ground, the most out of all our players, slightly ahead of Bruno. He just didn't have the ball most of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 i like him. granted he's not had the best season. but watching all his interviews, its quite clear there's a sense of "imposter syndrome" in his psyche. really not the most confident fella.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 I think the main thing we could do improve is get the players who lack technical ability and make the most mistakes out of the team. Even just giving the ball away about 5 less times would be worth a hell of a lot. Unfortunately Sean is one of the main culprits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 (edited) Being "one of our own" and "lives for the club" has a fairy tale element to it. According to what is portrayed he lives at the place goes to the development team games etc and is living the dream at the club he loves. Unfortunately for me all that love and character is his best quality. In terms of football terms we have been carrying him, the desire for him to do good is just not going to happen he isn't a 20 year old kid coming through he is a senior pro. I would love a local element or at least an academy prospect getting games for the club for years to come but they have to be worth the time on the pitch. If he had of not been local and signed for an actual fee I don't think he would get such an easy ride. Edited March 30, 2024 by nufcjmc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaircut Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 He probably has imposter syndrome because he’s technically dreadful and he’s playing with the likes of Isak and Bruno. Played to the absolute limit of his abilities last year and still wasn’t really good enough (see our performances when Bruno was out). Needs to go to a club where he’ll feel less like an imposter… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 (edited) Sean Longstaff has had an undercurrent of shit for years. Not sure about this whole "easy ride" perception tbh. Doesn't wash with me. Dan Burn being tactically exposed to being left for dead this season too hasn't helped him. They don't get easy rides. They get an undercurrent of shit that flies under the radar for many but absolutely won't for them and me being me, I know how much that would hurt me. The protesting vs Ashley taught me that. The feeling of being alienated by people who you think are just like you, are with you, but aren't. Edited March 30, 2024 by Heron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 Good to have a few local lads in the squad but with Miley and Anderson there I do feel if we can get any sort of decent fee for Longstaff then we should take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson might be a long way from the finished article but he has the confidence to go for it if given the opportunity. In contrast Longstaff always looks like he hopes the ball doesn't come his way.

Jonas Posted March 30, 2024 Share Posted March 30, 2024 The very best players once in a blue moon can shank a side-foot that he has a real penchant for, take their eyes off it for a split second, though it is the safer shot selection - the amount of unimpressive side-foots efforts in great goalscoring opportunities is unimpressive. Some will be down to confidence, suspect plenty isn't though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted March 31, 2024 Share Posted March 31, 2024 I'm not even that bothered by his poor finishing, find him getting into those spaces quite commendable It's the rest of his game that is a massive concern He's weak in the tackle, decision making is terrible, his touch is poor and his passing is shocking At the start of this season and last he was much better, hoping this is just the injury affecting him and he can get back to being an asset rather than the hindrance he currently is Though, if offered anything north of £10m I'd take it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
