Kid Icarus Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) Dive aside he was good, pretty much held our midfield together. The other two (and others tbf) were sloppy in possession. Edited February 4, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 He's so important to us. He offers that physicality and bite in midfield. Think he'll be an important squad member for years, even if we qualify for Europe and get better players in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Is actually an amazing 'number 6'. Don't want to see him LW again. DM / CM is his best position by FAR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I think 6 is a role not a position, like Pirlo or in our most recent case Shelvey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 86 touches to Longstaff's 78 and Willock's 59. Still not sure he's gonna win the percentages there. Not saying he was bad by any stretch, but Longstaff was the star midfielder for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Five o Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Not based on stats, but i personally will say he is the most important CM we had today. Strong, good drive and really tried to take control of the midfield. I absolutely love him, his attitude and unreal strength in duels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
