Sean Longstaff

[TBG]

Can see why so many were disappointed when he didn't make England squads during the 4th place season.

[Pilko]

Sensational today. That's why you keep him around, he's got it in the locker to really show up when he's not playing every single minute with an injury.

[Guybrush]

Put some respect on his name!

[Lush Vlad]

Did the dirty work well, was really aggressive with his blocks and tackles. The usual underlapping runs were there, as was his covering for Schar (below par again IMO) when he stepped in to press. 
 

Much better on the ball was the most noticeable thing for me. Nowt flash, just looked to move it quickly and keep it simple. The 3 in the middle finally interchanged really well. Willock almost in a bit of a free role at times and Joelinton staying wide/playing his usual 3 positions at once. 

[Kid Icarus]

Exactly the type of game he excels in, brilliant performance 

[nufc123]

Solid game. Didnt stop running.  

[Pata]

Really good, didn’t put a foot wrong all match.

[Adam]

Love his run in to that half spade between CB and LB. Top class today the weight of his pass to Gordon is perfect to setup the first time cross.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Best I've seen him play in years, tbf.

[PauloGeordio]

 

[Myleftboot]

Keeping an Italian international out the team. Fair play.

[Newcastle Fan]

For fucks sake Sean just be consistent, when he's not in the side we really miss him and once he's a starter we want him dropped, superb shit from him today and against Chelsea.

[Tsunami]

MOTM for me today. Did all of the dirty work superbly.

Same, he had Rice on a plate

[Theregulars]

Great in the tackle today; executed the old reach around a few times to perfection 

[Yorkie]

Mind some whoppers are running out of excuses for Howe, apparently. 

[Nobody]

He's massively underrated on here like.

[NWMag]

Really good today, some lovely touches on the ball which impressed me. Fair play to him hope he keeps it up

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Watched him closely in the warmup and he looks brilliant on the ball. 

[CPL]

He influences games more than Tonali in the current set up.

He was very good today, did well against Chelsea B too so fair play. He can be good and important, but theres also been tons of times when he’s been shocking. He’s a very functional cog in the system when he’s at his best even if somewhat limited in other areas of his game.

Howe himself he was running on empty the end of last season, probably carrying knocks and general fatigue. He’s starting to look like his old self with rest and rotation. 

[OverThere]

Well done lad, great performance, keep it up!!! Very happy for Longstaff, and it's just better when we have a Geordie in the team.

He’s a confidence player too and this will do him the world of good. Getting some love from the home crowd will help too.

He was very good today.

 

However, I want to see Tonali in this same team with the two Joe's and Gordon and Tino on his side before I can fully agree with this.
