Crumpy Gunt Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 He did well today considering the shit he had around him. North Shields lad so not unexpected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Good looking prospect. Picks good options and moves the ball in a timely fashion. Very very good traits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Should keep his place ahead of Hayden if Diame's back next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I thought he was plenty athletic, just the fact he ran a kilometre more than anyone else took its toll towards the end. Biggest compliment you can pay him is that he took Diame's place and I didn't really notice Diame not being there off the ball. Any hairy moments seemed to come through Hayden.

SteV Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Decent on the ball. Not much of an athlete. Agree in terms of his athletic dynamism, but he’s obviously got a seriously good engine, and can provide very good ‘legs’. Clearly you need plenty more than that at PL level, but he had at least showed a decent range of passing in the second half, and looking at his goals on loan to Blackpool, he has a canny dig on him too. Early days, but certainly a bit of promise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Distance covered is a poor indicator tbh. Number and intensity of sprints is far more important. You want players who can do shit loads of sprints at a high intensity across the 90 minutes and not just someone who can run at 3/4 pace across the 90.

Infinitely Content Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I understand Crumpy is a gunt, but there's no need to get personal is there You're right, uncalled for input from me. I take it back - I'm sure he doesn't care anyway, I'm just an anonymous guy on a forum, not only that but I'm from South Shields. Practically a mackem.

TRon Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Athleticism can easily be trained though, look at Diame. Pretty sure Diame was always athletic as he is now. Longstaff is a tidy player with decent awareness, but I agree that he doesn't maybe have quite enough athleticism for the top level. I remember when Steve Watson made his debut (at 16 I think) his pace and athleticism stood out even at that age. Maybe Longstaff will develop it.

TRon Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 He wasn’t though, he was lumbering and not sharp. probably lack of match fitness at this level or needing to adapt to the pace of the game here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Anybody criticising a young local player who has made an excellent debut and who showed that he has most if not all the attributes to be a success at this level needs to go and fuck off and support a different team.

Toon No9 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Impressive debut indeed!? Didn't put a foot wrong. Tired a bit at the end but by far our best player today. Did more than enough to keep his place in the starting eleven for the Cardiff game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
