Unbelievable Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 They can fuck off with the England squad talk though. Let the kid develop under Howe without that sort of hype and scrutiny heaped upon him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Watching the match cam, he was involved in so much in that first half. The way he receives the ball and quickly moves it on is a level above Longstaff already. He’s got a huge future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Just imagine how Bruce would have ruined this kid man. Such a great time to be coming through at the club. Howe is such a good manager that puts you in a position to do your best. Very lucky boy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the fact it was Armstrong's fault we conceded for taking a shot at the wrong time, conveniently forgetting the entire midfield and defence that didn’t do their jobs after the shot? That bloke was an utter fraud and the fact some are using the fact things got even worse after him, to kind of give him a free pass, still boils my piss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the way he blamed Armstrong when he made his debut? Bringing youth through is such a delicate thing to manage. It really does need a manager that relishes coaching and player development, as well as patience. Howe seems to have all these traits. I'm pretty sure there have been plenty players that under the right environment and conditions, would have had a chance, but the state of the club just gave them no opportunity for growth. Going to be really great seeing players come through, especially with Ashworth instilling the kind of youth setup he was over seeing at Brighton.

GeordieDazzler Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I remember a 3-3 draw with Burnley where at the end we put Armstrong on and got Williamson to hit 70 yard balls towards him against Mee and Tarkowski. Somehow this genius tactic bore no fruit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 He's been great. Like really good. He doesn't give it away, but he doesn't try to make killer passes - yet. That will come in time, I'm pretty sure he's just trying to keep it as neat and tidy as possible now. There's absolutely nowt better than seeing a local lad doing well either. Having Longstaff, Burn, Anderson & Miley in the squad can only be good for the club long term (especially on the first weekend in January too...).

Aye in that moment when the ball broke to him he picked out Isak with an excellent ball, shows what he's capable of. Still, you can't have watched him very closely if you don't agree with the principle point @Chicken Dancer is making - he's very clearly keeping things ticking over possession wise alongside making excellent runs which create space.

It's a very small detail, but if you watch the extended highlight at 02:17 the way he passes the ball with his left foot to get it in a forward direction to Bruno while being pressured is something you rarely if ever see Longstaff do, who would rather have passed the ball back to Lacselles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU19hg90_GA&t=323s&ab_channel=NewcastleUnited Edited December 6, 2023 by Conjo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
