David Edgar Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 1 hour ago, TheBrownBottle said: I feel really sorry for the lad. There’s real talent there, and he’s shown it for us in the past. He’s had so many injuries that it could be combination of those taking their physical toll, and a mental toll as well - his game is about his combination of technical and physical attributes. The lad might be constantly worrying about another injury. Total guesswork, of course. But the current situation can’t go on forever. He's got the physical and technical attributes to be a top player, but he has seemingly always struggled with the mental side of the game - for us, I have no idea what he was like at Arsenal. If only we could just take Longstaff's ability to deliver his consistent 7/10 performance every week and marry it up with Willock's footballing ability... Instead we have Willock who ranges from 4/10 to 9/10 with an average of 5s and 6s. It is a real shame cos Willock could be a hell of a player. There are loads of factors which could be at fault for him being unable to deliver consistently high standard performances and it might take him moving to try to find a club that is right for him to realise his potential. He might get lucky and land on a club that is perfect for him. Then we'll all wet the bed ignorantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Please show up today. We don't need goals or a MoM performance, just some composure and determination to get a grip on that midfield battle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I definitely don't agree with that. Tonali was everywhere. Unfortunately nobody else was anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Much better from Willock today. He looked gassed early in the first half so I wonder how his conditioning is. He was much more aggressive today and hungry for the ball and he did some excellent work in transition, really happy for him. Just needs to get into top shape Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenlau88210 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 He complements Gordon well. Gordon often cuts in and him moving out wide helps create space. His pace and athleticism are handy in that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Edgar Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The game suited him, and he delivered a superb performance. My opinion hasn't changed though, he ranges from 4/10s to 9/10s with not enough consistency. I want to see him prove me wrong and deliver a strong run between now and the end of the season. Reckon he'll be done with us if he can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 having him getting back to sharpness and in the squad is a plus, considering the formation we play so much of it depends on the midfield three and we need any player who plays there to play at a full 100% for the formation to work.
