Longstaff's big weakness is definitely his lack of pace and that's never going to change. Interesting thing is I don't think Guimares is any quicker but maybe he just reads the game better. He also has the ball skills to create himself space. Longstaff panics in tight situations. Agree about Fraser - never see him doing anything constructive. Complete waste of space. I like Willock but sometimes he just doesn't impose himself on the game. He gets into good positions when he is given licence to go forward but his ball control often lets him down.
I’d get Anderson in for Fraser. The latter is too basic and old fashioned (byline/cross). Anderson is more fluid. Midfield is weak without Bruno.
Yes that's fairly similar to my view , but I'd say willock has potential just needs a goal...was robbed of one last game . I think the missing goal is weighing on him , but if he keeps getting in those positions he'll score one soon enough. Needs to be knocking in 7 to 10 a season and he'll be a great player.
Let's be honest we won't see Anderson start this match or league games this season. Maybe at the end once nufcs race is run actually
I think it’s this. I would be surprised if both don’t feature at some point. Banana skin of a game but one we should be marking for 3 points. It’s a game we simply must win for a positive start to continue.
Hmmm just don't get beat will do.. it's about getting to 40 points then going from there...a win would be ideal, but it won't make or break the season either way.
Because of awful decisions though, we should be at least 5 points better off right now, Eddie gets a pass for that.
Todays a big game for Howe. Lose this after spending 205m and questions “may” be asked by the media. But I fully expect us to win.
That’s the most positive I’ve heard you for a long time. It’s lovely to hear. I knew you had it in you. Can you stretch it to saying we will win today?
If we don't win this one I'll be ****ing livid tbh. Spent £250m. Looking like a slightly better Everton at the minute Should be on more points as we speak but we can't score.
Questions won't be asked by the fans if we don't win, i don't care what the media say, **** them. We are going places under Howe whatever the resut today. Having said all that, let's get the ****ing 3 points. Howay the lads.
Not Howe, we have ****ing atrocious attacking players. All left overs from Rafa and Bruce, all want to sit around our own goal and defend.
I've never been negative... i said we wouldn't win the last 6 games and we didn't win 5. I have simply been seeing things without by black and white goggles on an of we're both being honest I've said nufc will be the next galactic in 5 to 10 years. I'm just not expecting much this season.
I was agreeing with you in truth, can't go bashing Howe. We have been crying out for a manager like him for years.
