I am honestly gob smacked at some of the takes on here. The weak chain currently in midfield is Longstaff.
Honestly watch him in a game closely. He constantly looses out in 50/50 challenges as he doesn’t seem to want to put his foot in. If he gets even the slightest of touches he goes down rolling around as if he has been shot which generally means the opposition team then attack us as he has left massive space.
For a 17 year old he already for me looks better in midfield than Longstaff.
Does he need a rest yes but he should be in ahead of Longstaff all day long
