huss9 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 think Ki has to play when fully fit and then its a question of who else in a 2 or 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 What I like about him is that he actually finds himself in the opposition box from time to time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 He’ll still be eligible for the U21s won’t he? Surely he deserves a call up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Like this lad, really want him to do well. Didn’t realise Alan Thompson was his uncle, either. I heard that, so is it the same Alan Thompson who used to play for us in Ardiles' team of teenagers back in the old second division? I think it’s the one who used to play for Bolton and was a coach here once too. Could be wrong. That's the same one. Broke his neck in a car crash while a youth team player for us.

Hughesy Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Longstaff had some lovely moments today in which he'd turn under pressure into space, retain ball and distribute it out wide or forward. Really pleasing to see versus a swarming press. Was really impressed by his ability to do this. Always seemed to be able to create a bit of space for himself.

I think Longstaff and Ki together would have a calming effect on the team as both seems to create the space for themself instead of just hoof it up the pitch and hope for the best. Exited to get to see them play together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I’m not sure we’ll ever see them together, Rafa has always preferred at least one DM in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Longstaff and Ki are both not very great tacklers, IMO. We need a proper holding midfielder next to a more creative one with our current crop. Ki and Longstaff are competing for the same shirt. They probably only play together if we are down and chasing a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The obsession with having a "tackler" harms you if that tackler ends up being completely useless on the ball though. Not sure I've got much faith in Hayden or Diame to not be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been one of our best players since promotion and still criminally underrated by some fans. Apart from the last 4-5 months of last season (which he was incredible) he’s been fucking hopeless. I doubt he’ll be playing for us next season, unless we go down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you tell him how much you hate Rafa but refuse to say who you think should replace him? I didn't think that discussing the managers inane tactics was an apt subject. But, I'll remember for next time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see him oblige the kids with photos etc. He was at Benfield v Shields with his fatha and brother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
