First of all some fans said ginger Longstaff was fantastic. That's just a reminder. Miley to me in all honesty is doing a decent job. Nowt special. Just calm down people because seriously "at this moment time" he's OK. Not sure you're watching him properly tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Thought he more or less ran the game in the first half. Ridiculous how comfortable he looks on the ball at his age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't look out of place whilst playing against some of the best in the world. He played against a 127 Million quid world cup-winning midfielder last week and looked the better player. We shouldn't apply pressure to him, but he is there, doing a good job and we should be singing his name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_n_white Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Some of his play is effortless. Wait until he gains more confidence playing in the team. Special talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonesJones Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 It's like he hasn't registered that it's a PL match, seems more like just another kick about with his mates, no pressure. Does all the simple things well, gets into good positions, offers himself as an outlet, very direct with his passing into Isak. Things to work on obviously, but I rate him and not even 18 yet wtf. I hope we can continue to find him minutes even when players return. Based off the performances of team as a whole since hes come in, maybe it's his spot to lose. My prediction is that if this kids game time etc is managed well, which it will be, we have a midfield general on our hands with the size of the him. Maybe I'm going overboard but it's hard not to back an academy player that's made it this far and looked like he's been doing it for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) Plays with his head up and always seems to have time on the ball, at 17 that’s quite something we should absolutely be getting carried away about this lad.

Marquee Moon Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Howe's done unbelieavble work with players in their late 20s, even 30s. The thought of him moulding a top talent from age 17...skys the limit for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 silver lining of the injury crisis is that we’re getting this lad some development. He could be a star for us for 15+ years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Absolutely brilliant. Especially in that 1st half. 17 ffs So composed and plays with his head up. He has footballing IQ. Already better than Longstaff imo. Not seen much of him yet but I don’t need to see more to eat him higher already. Sky is the limit. Level headed kid too. Love it.

Sean Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) I don't know how we ever replace Bruno, but maybe we let him help develop this kid into his replacement (when he retires here of course). Edited December 2, 2023 by Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 That was his best game for us, so composed, excited to see how far he can really go He's always played with confidence but when you more than hold your own away to PSG then it's bound to have given him an extra boost and that was evident tonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
