duo Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 He's been key to making the formation work. Wonder if Rafa will change the formation now as for me Diame isn't a like for like - gutting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 He's been key to making the formation work. Wonder if Rafa will change the formation now as for me Diame isn't a like for like - gutting Wouldn't say I agree with that. He's just been the fairly typical centre-mid all-rounder you see in virtually all formations. He'll be a loss, because he's played well, but probably the most 'expendable' cos we've got natural replacements of a similar standard. Ki's the most obvious but it'll probably be Diame, which is fine, cos there'll be a physical scrap in the middle today. Gonna be tough, everyone will have to be on their game.

papo Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Rice won his first call-up for the senior England squad. Wonder if Sean didn't get injured would he get one now? Or is it just the hype around Rice? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Probably Rice would have shaded it this time, early days though. Henderson, Dier and Delph are all fairly pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 He is playing his first season at this level and honestly players like KI and Diame look like such a downgrade on him, can't wait to have him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 He's not coming back this season. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sean-longstaff-injury-newcastle-united-16077651 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 He's not coming back this season. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sean-longstaff-injury-newcastle-united-16077651 Wouldn’t make sense to bring him back now unless he were 100%. Keep him on ice and get him ready for the start of next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 His emergence is the only redeeming thing in another miserable shit fight of a wasted season, and if we hadn't had injuries I'm not sure Rafa would have ever picked him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we exist as a team to purely survive in the league, I will not pay £600 for the privilege anymore, which means the Liverpool game is my last for a long time.

Raconteur Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 How did we get to a situation where we have five centre midfielders with about 200 caps between them, and we seem lost without the one who has played less than ten premier league matches?

Away Day Gadgie Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Why do i keep hearing from people that Rafa somehow stumbled upon this kid cos we had an injury crisis? Longstaff clearly stated in one of his interviews that he went to see Rafa about getting a loan move at the start of the season and Rafa said he was going nowhere as he was going to need him.
