What was that free kick at the end? Too cute. Just let our best taker take it, it was from 20 yards, he'll at least put it on target. Baffling. 

 

Longstaff can't start another PL game, put Anderson on from the start. Experience my arse. 

 

Trippier likely thought it was too close for him to get it up and other, so left it to a power shot from Schar. 

[Holden McGroin 6587]

Despite him not having a good game we needed Longstaff on the pitch to hold the midfield. Willock and Joelinton can't. 

 

Anderson looks a prospect.

[ewerk 30616]

Well he did move like he was literally holding the entire midfield.

Hold in what sense?

[Holden McGroin 6587]

Not bomb on. Be a number 6.

Replacing Anderson for Longstaff wouldn't work. Its not fantasy football.

[wykikitoon 20150]

He cant bomb anywhere.  He gives the ball away too much. Can't read the game.  He's basically...........shit.

Talk about running like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders 

[Holden McGroin 6587]

Massive over reaction on Longstaff here lads. He wasnt great but I guess thats how far we've come when we are debating this and disappointed we only got a point away.

[Holden McGroin 6587]

Injuries might also be a blessing if it forces our hand in the transfer market.

[MrBass 2651]

“He wasn’t great” would be a fitting epitaph.

I reckon we'll likely try to get a loan in at least to cover for Trippier with Krafth out long term, and definitely try to get a defensive mid and another attacking player. 

[Holden McGroin 6587]

Ive seen a lot shitter performances (within the last 12 months). This isn't even shit compared to Bruces reign.

[Christmas Tree 4725]

What I like about Anderson is that he just looks so calm on the ball and like Bruno, is always asking for it.

 

I don’t know enough about his overall game to know if he could replace Longstaff, but I would definitely have him in from the start somehow given our injuries.

 

Going to very very tough on Wednesday with all these knocks and injuries. 
 

Nice welcome to the Prem game for Izac.  

 

Gutted for Anderson that he didn’t get the winner.

Botman clearly starting to settle now. He's looked a bit shaky at times, but he was imperious today.

His name was Longstaff

Miggy was his mate 

He was good under Rafa

After that he wasn't great

Tbf wyki you've been slagging off ASM until recently. I'm sure Longstaff needs to improve or be upgraded, but until we have a like for like replacement I'm trusting Howe knows exactly what he is doing. Also I won't forget the raw potential Longstaff showed when he hit the first team, I still have faith.

No that's fair.  ASM has improved a lot this season.  Like Holden says our expectations have grown in the last few months.  I just can't see any improvement in Longstaff.

[Polarboy 2311]

Didn't realise Neves was such a delusional, poor loser, even though it was a draw, gimp. Fuck that guy. I hope we never make a bid for him regardless of how good he is on the pitch. I wonder if he'll change his mind when he sees the match stats, probably not. 

[ewerk 30616]

‘They don’t like possession, we prepared for that’. We had 64% of the fucking ball.

[Gemmill 44888]

For a team that "doesn't like possession much" we had a fuck of a lot of it today, PONYTAIL. 

[Polarboy 2311]

Howe has said that Bruno has a slight injury, and hopes he'll only be out for a couple of games. Not sure if that includes today's game or not, but here's hoping.
