No I think that’s how he was pretty much beforehand. Doesn’t waste possession and passes well but Longstaff is basically exactly the same thing except much faster, more agile and bags more stamina.

It’s not a hard one to work out.

Can’t compare him to Diame or Shelvey for that matter, totally different style of players.

Thought he was very poor today, gave the ball away so many times and didn't contribute aside from that shot in either attack or defense.

very poor harsh imo, but didn't use the ball as well as he can

Agree with this. Very poor in possession today and gave it away very cheaply.
Not his best by a long way. Our midfield needs major investment.

[David Edgar]

There will be a reason Rafa starts him and kept him on the pitch for the entire game today. 

[xLiaaamx]

thought he's just never looked as dynamic since he came back from Asia. Thought he was ace before that.

[Tiresias]

Yeah before then he never seemed to lose the ball, been a bit off it since

[Yorkie]

This bloke injured?

[St1pe]

I think I read the other day that they’re going to try and offload him in January as he isn’t rated. Sort of agree with that too as he only really impacted a couple of games and was really passive in most.

Steve ordered some Korean Chicken once and it was too spicy for him, has held a grudge ever since.

Does the boring stuff that helps the team flow which often goes unnoticed.

That's why Rafa selected him ahead of shelvey.

I don’t think either are the answer and both should probably be moved on.

At a sensible, forward-thinking club, sure. But at Mike Ashley FC...?

Surely Ki (and Muto) would be looking to leave in January, unless they're happy with free money for nothing? Ki especially has only so many years left at a decent level.
