Thumbheed Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Honestly think having a conventional winger makes such a difference to how we play, hope Howe sticks with it. Really pleased for the lad, it's his place to lose as far as I'm concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 He's done very well and i hope he can continue to preform like this to keep his place, hopefully we'll see more attacking contributions in the last games of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think it's the opposite with him. By all accounts he's a bright guy and his problems seem to usually come from him overthinking situations. There really is such a thing as being too clever for your own good. Looks like him and Eddie are in the process of cracking it though, which is great.

Even if it's just for 10 minutes, it's another level and different option to have a player getting to the line and pulling back a cross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 He's obviously a bit more limited than others in the squad but he's done exactly what you'd have asked of him since being in the starting XI. Top class shithousery too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Hope there is a clip of him standing over Fernandes with his hand out to high five Schar after he flattened him. World class WUM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be the shithouse bros, this continent’s version of Basketball’s Splash Bros This continent’s version of the Splash Brothers would get 70 goals a season between them.

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Think he's always had some talent but he seemed way too nice & meek for so long. He'd often look scared to take risks and end up doing nothing. It feels like he's really embraced a WUM character and it's almost given him the freedom to express himself.

The Butcher Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Noticed he drifted inside quite a bit yesterday. Think they probably expected him to play as an out and out winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a good point actually. Both him and ASM were cutting inside a lot rather than going on the outside of the or defenders. Must have been tactical.

Smal Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Most progressive passes (8), most passes into the penalty area (4), most passes into the final 1/3 (4) on the pitch yesterday. I dunno what it is about him but we seem to do really well when he's in the team? That incredible run in October when we won every game... he started most of those too.

Yeah it could be that, doesn’t necessarily mean he’s stupid just it’s a mental issue in his play that’s affecting his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) He's become an integral part of the squad, hasn't he? His enthusiasm and character clearly have played a big part. He's clearly very well liked and gets 'it'. Edited April 3, 2023 by Big Geordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Cannot believe how much better he's gotten. Love his attitude and his commitment. He's a valuable squad member, no doubt. We can and will upgrade on him from a skill standpoint but players like him buying in and grafting like crazy are a big reason we are the squad we are.
