Longstaff is the most underrated player in our squad: he is pivotal. But yes he thinks Longstaff is a call player:
Think Willock has been sensational and lived up to all the hype. Turned into the playmaker we were all desperate for.
The last few games there have been more than one for me…hard to choose at the end of the day and yih often find it will end up with someone who has got on the scoresheet! A tad unfair I agree as Lil’Joe has been immense for us the last 2 games in particular.
If the arseholes in the media are saying he deserves international selection that says it all... getting a cap playing for Newcastle is impossible though.
I genuinely don't think we have A single player of the season. That's not a cop out, I just don't think there has ever been a NUFC side (that I recall) where it really is all about the overall team performance like we've seen this season. If one person has a bad game, others make up for it. So regardless of consistency, opportunities and/or injuries, we have had many players performing above the level you might otherwise expect of them. We don't rely on one specific 'hero' player like some teams do. If anything, I'd have to say the X factor for me has been Eddie as manager. He's simply made some otherwise average players into great players and some very good players into amazing players.
