LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 If you had to bet your house on a NUFC striker scoring a goal between now and the end of the season who would you play as striker? Joelinton or Gayle? I'd pick Gayle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlito Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 aye gayle, he'll get one every 10 or something but at least he's in position to miss them Agreed. If we'd started Joelinton up front yesterday he would have probably been lingering outside the box for all of those chances that Gayle missed.

relámpago blanco Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I don't see Joelinton as a number 9. He's better wide, Bruce just plays him through the middle as he is relatively tall and reasonably well built. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I don’t get the ‘he’s in there to miss them’ argument, what’s the point of that? Could use that argument for Bentaleb in midfield. ‘At least he’s in there to misplace his passes’. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 It's incredible to me that we have had Joelinton stuck upfront alone in that awful formation all season, and now we have finally changed to a more attacking formation that can help him actually start to develop more as a striker, we've benched him Benching him for a striker that we were trying to get rid of previously and who is no long term solution and who continuously proves to be unreliable. So typical. So ridiculous. So unsurprising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd started Joelinton up front yesterday he would have probably been lingering outside the box for all of those chances that Gayle missed. Him 'lingering' outside the box in this setup allowed Almiron to get in behind and score his first against WBA. He also set up Almiron's second with a clever back heel while in the box against WBA. He also linked well with ASM to lay it off for his strike off the post against WBA. I'd argue that with Joelinton we likely see the attacking midfielders become more of a threat in general. Not as straight forward as 'he's not in the box, so no goals!'. Goodness sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny36 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Id like to see Muto given a chance between now and end of season..is he still injured? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Id like to see Muto given a chance between now and end of season..is he still injured? He was fit again at the same time as Gayle. After Bruce complained he had no striker cover, as soon as Muto recovered he hasn't been in the squad. I think he was on the bench a couple of weeks ago. He's in the latest training pictures. https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/galleries/toon-in-training-all-set-for-the-saints/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 59 in 100 in the Championship. 21 in 111 in the Premier League. Perfect example of a Championship striker in the Earnshaw, Graham, Beckford Young Andy Cole bracket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Play Joe wide right. He can be the new Sissoko. No way is he a wide attacking player. He is definitely not a centre forward. It's simple really. Do not let him anywhere near the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 But weird how so many have turned on Gayle. Done so much more than so many for the club. Think it's more to do with him getting over praised just to have a go at Joelinton. I've always liked Gayle, but he's struggled for goals and fitness since we got promoted.
