Newcastle Fan Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Looked so calm and composed today, almost too calm to be playing premier league football and yet he bossed the midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 He's been majestic all month really. All the more impressive since a few of those around him are misfiriing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Superb today as he has been of late but he needs to be careful about trying to win too many fouls as the one that didn't go his way towards the end could've cost us, same goes for Longstaff.

Aye. Bruno is usually quite good at it. But makes it too obvious at times. Longstaff wins a lot of fouls, too. But he is so unconvincing and needs to stop in the wrong areas. To the point where for Pope’s double save against Dortmund. He actually did get fouled. But it looked like a massive dive he was looking over his shoulder wanting the contact. Then seemed to go down like a mortgage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Thought he had a great first half and then second half looked a yard off it or just tired... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Just now, buzza said: Thought he had a great first half and then second half looked a yard off it or just tired... agreed. Looked really on it first half. Wish he’d stop chucking himself to the ground to buy a cheap free kick, the refs aren’t buying it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Yeah, I thought he was brilliant first half and then in the latter part of the second he was quite sloppy, where he was looking for the foul even though there was a passing option available Overall though he's in really good form, just need him to maintain that after an average start to the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 People were critical about him at the start of the season, but has been brilliant in the last few games. Key player for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays in the most pivotal role in our side and he’s our best player or a top three performer in almost all games (accounting for a dip in form due to his ankle previously) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish he’d stop chucking himself to the ground to buy a cheap free kick, the refs aren’t buying it. He was finding himself surrounded by players closing him down. In the first half he always found a way out and that set us up for some great plays, in the second half he was getting caught more and then trying to buy a free kick. Hard to know if that was him tiring or not enough options to pass the ball to someone else. I think he needs others to get closer to him instead of waiting for him to do something clever.

Of course we are now playing against easier teams than in the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I think his ability to buy a foul is a real talent, and speaks of his ball control and vision - though I do think you’ll get refs like the one at the weekend who’ll stop blowing for FKs after a while, particularly if they may have made a controversial decision against the other team earlier in the game. When that starts happening, he needs to knock it on the head and start releasing the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so frustrating. He tries to buy fouls by shielding and then going to ground. And when he doesn't get the foul, we are often so open on the counter. Just move the ball for fuck sake.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Longstaff does it because he doesn't have the agility or athleticism to do more, so he tries to get out of trouble by diving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
