    I just find it interesting because these days you can't say anything even remotely offensive about a person's ethnicity but this is OK.

    I don't mind im not a Saudi but I bet there were some there.

    Are we saying all cultural differences or all cultural differences expect a certain one ,?

    He does OK but would he get in a top 4 side ? No .. he needs replacing but he's got that shirt for a while i think

    He isn't doing very well, i'm sorry but he was one of our worst players again today, he kept losing the ball, he is doing his best but he will be one of the first to be replaced, midfield is our weakest area.

    I was a bit annoyed that Willock came off ahead of him tbh.

    We need to stop being happy with mediocre players.

    He's actually doing very well but he needs to add goals from midfield . Whatever comes in needs to add goals.

    Its why I'm not keen on Gordon. He's another Almiron .. all gratft ...

    For me a midfielder working hard, missing loads of chances and giving the ball away is not someone doing well, the only time he keep the ball is if it's sideways or backwards.

    Get rid.

    They haven't finished there mate..... he's not going to get in a top 4 side in England Spain France or Italy if you're being completely honest he's just not a quality player.

    No need to get rid he's playing well but where newcastle want to be he's going he's going to have to add goals and he isn't good enough .

    I think he'll be playing years tbh ..

    Let's never replace him then?

    We get the chance to sign Pedri or Gavi, no let's keep Longstaff in the side instead as we are top 3?

    We were top 4 with ****ing Bramble in the side, if we had someone better we may have won the league.

    Longstaff is not top 4 material, anyone who thinks he is is mental, the likes of Bruno are carrying him.

    McTominay played over 30 games a season for Manure when they finished top 4.

    I'd much prefer Longstaff in our team than McTominay.

    Could we get someone better? Yes, possibly.
    Would it potentially mess up the dynamics of the team? Yes, possibly.

    Yes there are better out there, but he's done well, especially recently.

    Longstaff will be replaced like.. he's a fit lad that gives everything but ultimately he falls over.

    I don't agree, missing loads of chances and losing the ball is doing average at best, you've got lower standards than me is all i can say.

    Bruno, Botman, Isak is the standard now.

    Unsure what point you are making, i'm sure you don't think Longstaff is on par with Bruno. <laugh>

    Longstaff gets an easy ride because he's from Newcastle... he's actually not playing badly but he isn't exactly great.

    If you asked opposition fans what they think you'd get told he's ****e .

    Lower standards? <laugh>

    You don't own the club mate. You don't decide who we buy or who gets selected.
    It's not about standards. Please don't start demanding a club that wins.

    All I'm saying is he's done well and works for the team dynamic Eddie has built.

    I've also said there are better out there and we will probably bring in better at some point. but they will also have to work for the team dynamic, not be some luxury superstar.

    And maybe also just appreciate those who have got us where we are too.

    He's only playing cos Shelvey is injured, that's the reality.
