This week, he's focusing on young Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff.
Sean Longstaff has made one appearance for Newcastle so far this season in the League Cup
WHAT HAS HE GOT?
This tall passing midfielder has many admirers in the Newcastle ranks but may have to be patient for an opportunity as the club need experienced players if they are to rise up the table.
Quite upright, he shows a confidence in his play as he uses his colleagues intelligently with simple, straightforward passes. He never tried anything too difficult — maybe he did not wish to make risky passes for fear of failing — but played well within his characteristics. He rarely got caught in possession in midfield and played slightly deeper than his partner with less emphasis on getting forward.
When confronted, he never panicked and was more than aware of where his next intended pass was going to end up, often spraying the ball 30 to 40 yards to his wide man on the touchline. Defensively, he moved into good positions and stayed close to his opponent when he crossed the halfway line in possession.
His stamina seemed OK and his bravery could not be disputed. He has body strength and looks as though he won’t be overawed when given the opportunity on a bigger stage. He more than coped in a recent League Cup tie at Nottingham Forest. I am sure that when the opportunity arises the Newcastle fans would welcome ‘one of their own’.
Longstaff is confident on the ball but also strong enough to bully those in possession
WHAT DOES HE NEED?
Once, when dwelling on the ball and getting robbed, he reacted and was shown a yellow card. However, he redeemed himself brilliantly minutes later when he took an opportunity to go past an opponent and knowingly induced a foul and a yellow card for an obvious obstruction. He scored plenty of goals on loan at Blackpool last season but, watching him, I see a player who could sit in front of the back four and keep play flowing with his very accurate passing.
I was unsure from this viewing whether he had a change of pace. However, I saw shades of another Geordie, Michael Carrick, who was probably very similar in his early days.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
