Pilko Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Eddie's harming him by not taking him out of the firing line, it's beyond a joke now. He's a decent squad player capable of contributing but he's being ran into the ground when he's lacking in form, confidence and I suspect full fitness.

Joelinton7 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 He comes across as a sensitive person in his interviews but you can’t deny the reality that he’s not it. You can blame fatigue or injury but there are weaknesses to his game which have been consistently with him since his debut six years ago. He’s never improved at scanning to make sure an oppo isn’t gonna’ rob the ball off him. He dawdles on the ball seemingly not knowing what to do with it. He never tries to stay on his feet. Doesn’t score enough goals. His passing is limited (that may be Eddie’s instructions). He’ll run and get about 2 yards from an Oppo and then just not put a challenge in. Next to Dummett he’s the least technical pro footballer I’ve ever seen. Just about as meat and potatoes as you can get. I hate saying it ‘cause he’s a really nice guy. In terms of ability, if he’s still here in a few years I’d put Anderson, Miley, Hernes and Sanusi ahead of him. He’ll just be bypassed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole midfield is like a saloon door anyway every week and Eddie doesn't seem to want to change the shape to fix that. Sean being there isn't helping.

As much to take him out of the firing line as for physical reasons. He's a squad player, mentally he's not up to being a starter every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I mean we're very obviously stuck with him until the end of the season but I do hope that he's moved on in the summer. Nowhere near good enough to be a starter for us if we want to push on and you want Miley and Anderson getting some minutes from their reserve roles. Think there'd be interest in Longstaff, he could do a good job for a lower half team and rarely misses games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have I'm not making it up FFS. Anderson played an hour today and 71 mins against Everton on Tuesday, why couldn't he have started today?

However, the pass was needlessly way behind Isak instead of put out in front of him. Don't believe for a second he was trying to nutmeg the defender either, was just a shite pass that was lucky to get to Isak at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 We all know now he’s poor and woefully out of form, but just one of those things we’ve got to suck up because of lack of options. Hopefully if all goes well in summer, he’ll hardly be a starter next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the Burn situation we don't have the luxury of resting Longstaff. There is no one else to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
