Sean Longstaff

[Guest]

I've put £10 on him being selected by England for the Ashes in 2028

Looking at the BBC viewer player ratings after Bournemouth, Longstaff got 1.66. The rest ranged from Barnes (6.67) to Joelinton (4.99). A similar thing seems to happen every week. 

 

Now come on, he's not that much worse than his team-mates. 

 

 

 

I’m not saying he’s a 1.66. I’m saying that your point about Willock not being a better package is a flawed claim. Willock is a far better footballer than Sean and is better physically. He’s also far better at the defensive side of his game than he’s given credit for. Sean does get a lot of stick and sometimes it’s unwarranted but he’s the poorest starter we have. I say that as someone who really appreciates the work he does off the ball but that only really helps us when our press is there. We’re no longer pressing like we did and he’s close to pointless when we don’t play that way 

[Geordie Boyo]

Some days his limitations outweigh his strengths. That obviously happens to some degree with everyone, but like Shola you’re either really poor or simply play your part. We’ve got players who not only play their part more consistently, but their ability is on a different level.

Last season and the season before I was convinced he'd be a great player if he ever worked on his finishing. He had that surprising knack of being able to waltz unmarked into the penalty area or find himself in a great position for a shot. I suspect opposition scouting reports simply read "Not a threat, don't bother" 

[Guybrush]

Put some respect on his name.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Top pen.

[Boey_Jarton]

Credit where its due, class penalty. Never looked like missing 

 

 

[Toon1892]

Best player on the pitch after he came on. Fair play 

[Shak]

Delighted for him.

 

Not a huge fan of his game by any means but he can't help his limitations and clearly gives his all, fantastic for him to have a moment like that

[Heron]

My man! So brave taking that. Get in you fucking diamond.

[Newcastle Fan]

Very good when he came on and a superb penalty to send us through.

[Cronky]

My hero

Shine on!

I thought he was good when he came on, seemed to feed Barnes loads of times.

 

Balls of steel on the penna too. Well in Sean

[KaKa]

Perfect role for him today.

 

Coming on later as a sub for tired players, after the opposition have also tired too.

 

Big time penalty.

That and the fact he's prime Iniesta.

Nah.

He’s made of paper. I love him. He’s worked his bollocks off to get where he is but please let Sandro start every single game from now on. 

[Miggys First Goal]

I have to admit, when I saw it was him taking the pen I thought he was going to fuck it up big time. So, well done, lad. 

[Checko]

All I'm going to say is quality penalty today. Nice one!

[Heron]

Due an England call up.

Number 3 or opening?

[The Prophet]

Think he's been one of better players to start the season.
