I was thinking that didn't sound right myself
It's no surprise they think he's three years younger than his actual age; sure isn't he only 5 feet tall?Originally Posted by DeLorean
Time for a loan move?
Sadio Mane off. Harrison Reed on as substitute.
Goaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!!
No time to think = no time to fork it up.
What do you know? Long is played up front for just the third or fourth time this season and it reaps rewards.
Pelle has 2 goals in his last 13 Premier League games.
Maybe Long will get a chance if that kind of form continues?
He's having an impact at both ends. Clearing two Ipswich corners and pressuring the Ipswich goalkeeper into making several mistakes by chasing lost causes - one of which led to a goalscoring opportunity.
Hunt and McGoldrick are having good games for Ipswich. Murphy has been very quiet. Just as I type this, McGoldrick could have put Hunt through with a cross but elected to selfishly take a shot from a stupid position - which he, of course, missed.
Sometimes no time to think can indeed be a good thing .....lovely finish
Having a great game so far..........been excellent all over the pitch

Bet Pelle comes on and scores twice now.
By the way I found how you can capture what is on the screen

So if you are watching a stream you can save it to file, you don't really have to bother about all the file type
stuff he did apart from the frame rate, just select convert and put in a file name on your desktop (the default place is hard to find again).
Long well placed to be put through by Pelle but Pelle went for the glory - and ballooned it over the bar.
Hunt had a perfectly good goal ruled out earlier in the match. He went off after 55 minutes. I thought he played well. Still doesn't look out of place.
That was an absolutely lovely finish. He had one in the second half where he tried to bend it with the outside of his right foot but the defender got a good block in. More of that, please, Shane.
Why would you want to see him having more shots blocked?I didn't see the game but that was a brilliant, instinctive goal. It came at him so quickly I don't know how he kept such control of the strike. I saw a bit of the analysis on BBC afterwards. The three analysts (Shearer, Jenas & some other guy) were basically mocking Mark Lawrenson (co-commentator) for giving motm to somebody other than Long, think it may have been Fonte he selected. They said Long was so obviously the best player on the pitch. The commentator actually tried to encourage Lawrenson to pick Long as well at one point when I flicked over!
Long dropped again.
It was obvious that he only played against Ipswich so Elia could be rested for this game. Thought maybe he could get a game with Pelle up front due to the injury problems in midfield and due to how well they played last time they went with two players up front but it was always an ask.
Unfortunate given he was probably their best player the last time he started (Everton).
Pelle has 2 goals in 13 league starts. I don't think Long has even started three league games in succession yet.

Long does have some admirers though.
Got an assist today two minutes after coming onto the pitch. Also booked.

Hard to argue with his exclusion, mind. Elia scored two and Pellé was excellent. He'll just have to keep performing and try to make himself undroppable.
Hull could really do with Shane Long at the moment.
I would say that they regret selling him even if the money was good.
