captainhaircut Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Considering how beneficial it would be from an FFP perspective, he should be the first one out the door in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 6 minutes ago, joeyt said: Useless in games like this His running works when we play a three in the middle as it helps the other players in there, but stick him in a two and you need a hell of a lot more than someone who can just run about. Agree, he was useless in there. Mind Bruno’s passing today was absolutely lifting too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) He's not the reason we lost. But not having another midfielder who can play a killer ball was the reason we didn't win. Edited December 23, 2023 by Lotus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Thought he was really poor and he’s very fortunate he wasn’t replaced instead of Miley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 He was massively important to us earlier in the season. Personally think he looks half fit and even slower than usual in everything he does. He’s been like it in basically every game since coming back. Probably another player that is starting as it’s needs must. Who might have had another 2-3 weeks rest if we had some midfielders available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He facilitates Bruno especially well. But he’s limited. If Tonali can learn the system and adjust to the PL and Bruno - he’s going to be a massive upgrade. I don’t consider Tonali a Bruno level technician. But I’m sure he’s technically solid enough to take the midfield up an entire level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I have never been fully convinced about Longstaff and don't think he has ever reached the level he showed under Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverThere Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Seems better suited to 4-3-3 when he is able to run around and block the passing lanes. At present he doesn't seem to be able to do that and looks less suited to be one of the 2 in 4-2-3-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
