nufcjmc Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 He really really wants to stay at the club you can tell playing like a championship at best player making sure no one is stupid enough to bid a greggs gift card for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOGazOoO Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Let's be completely honest, Anderson was the much better player tonight out of both of them, by a country mile. The right decision for Howe to make would have been to bring Willock on and take Longstaff off, that is as clear as day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 7 minutes ago, Donut said: Very true. His mentality completely goes against what Howe is trying to do. Baffling he starts every game when we have Willock and Anderson back. He's just too unsure of himself anytime the ball is near him. It's tragic. Puts in a lot of effort and commitment, but at this point it's just not enough to mitigate what he provides when we are in possession. He was okay last season in this area, but has completely plummeted since then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 The worst thing is that I don't even think he's 'out of form' or 'lacking a bit of confidence' right now I just think this is his normal level of performance. What he's been producing for the last 4 months is what Sean Longstaff is capable of producing - this is him, this is his level of ability. I get that people want to maybe find excuses and explain his horrific performances but this is his normal average level, it's got nothing to do with form or confidence he's just desperately poor in many many areas and it's been highlighted. He needs a move a much a wee need to move him on. Lovely lad, works hard, absolutely fucking shit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I can understand him staying on tonight. Maybe Howe didn’t think Anderson had 90 in him? As for all the other games he has started and then stayed on the whole match. Fuck knows. He is consistently awful and whatever his injury is. It has made him pretty much redundant as a footballer. Almost feel sorry for him now. He shouldn’t be playing a full game every week. Injury crisis or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I am starting to wish Steve Bruce stayed another year to finish this useless cunt at this club. The only thing he got right was his judgement of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 He’s limited in games with lots of quick transitions, mentally and technically not quick enough in these situations. In games which we apply sustained pressure and see lots of the ball he’s more than decent enough though. But I’ll say it again, he’s been carrying an injury for ages now. It’s clear as day to me.

NE27 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Was always happy with longstaff as a more than capable bench option this season, but the minutes he has played is just unprecedented. He needs a rest, and the way this season is going EH might as well just give him it now because I'm struggling to notice any positive contribution other than existing as a half fit body on the pitch. Don't want to lay into him, sure he would admit the performances have fell off a cliff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 This is a doppelganger of last season's Longstaff, even with the injuries around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Similar to Lascelles, Murphy , Miggy ,Krafty etc,where they can do a job when called upon but a run in the side quite quickly highlights the weaknesses in their game. In desperate need to upgrade the backup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 He has nothing to offer really, he could potentially take a squad space to play league cup but that’s really it. Unfortunate because he’s a local lad who tries hard and cares, but shouldn’t be playing in the top half of the PL (or possibly in the PL at all).
