Smal Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 2 hours ago, Yorkie said: Was impressed with his performance too. His touch and passing isn't there yet, but off the ball he was terrific. So intelligent, composed, and his timing of tackles and blocks was perfect. Never once lost concentration or discipline or got lured into an early tackle. Thought his passing and touch were pretty good tbh. Second half the whole team were just clearing it instead of passing out so I'm not going to judge him individually on that. He played an excellent pass off his left foot in the first half which Isak and Gordon were too knackered to make the run for but both acknowledged.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Astonishing performance from him really. So impressed with his tactical discipline, particularly how he screened opposition players and covered the space to make crucial blocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I wouldn't even say his passing was bad, it was just a case of him and Isak not being on the same wavelength. Isak kept coming short, Miley kept playing it into the channels, maybe he should have realised he needed to stop playing those balls, or equally maybe Isak should have realised he needed to make those runs.

Optimistic Nut Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 5 hours ago, Yorkie said: Hilarious how non-plussed he seemed during the CL anthem. Just fidgeting about, then I saw this Couldn't look less impressed. He clearly appears to just take everything in his stride; certainly doesn't look overawed or nervous. It's absolutely crackers that we had an academy lad starting that game. Was impressed with his performance too. His touch and passing isn't there yet, but off the ball he was terrific. So intelligent, composed, and his timing of tackles and blocks was perfect. Never once lost concentration or discipline or got lured into an early tackle. Seems a given that he'll be a star at this point. Only a little thing but look at that compared to Murphy who looked overawed during it in the San Siro. Think we have a star here.

janpawel Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Yeah I think to play in our midfield 3 requires a huge amount of intelligence and each position seems to be unique, ie Longstaff and his relationship with tripper/Miggy is totally different to joelinton and burn/Gordon... It's not a case at all of just slotting in and winging it Amazing he can fill in as effectively away at a European superclub. Wonder what we will do next season with him, a loan at some point I'd have thought would be the plan but he looks good enough to genuinely be a key part of our squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Broon Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Yeah, no chance he'll be going out on loan, particularly given that his age and homegrown status mean he doesn't take up a squat slot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The commentator originally said ‘born in Chester le Street’, I was thinking surely he’d have been born at Dryburn,maternity hospital for the area, unless a home birth.

Yeah. If we have designs on trying to compete in 3-4 competitions every season. Then he should be kept at the club 100%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
