Jinky Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 He was one of the clues on 'Only Connect' last night! True fame. Named as one of four Brazilian Footballers. The team of nerds all immediately knew who he was! (They struggled with 'Kenedy' though.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird. It's a composure rather than a technique issue I think - Lee Clark was the same; he also looked a much better player once dropped back into a deeper role Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 it definitely seems some players can put the ball where they want to when they make a pass but as soon as a switch in their head says they're making a shot they seem to approach it very differently. Obviously you rarely put your laces through a pass so that will be different but if he was willing to just pass it into the net i'm sure he'd score a few more, there was definitley a shot against Crystal Palace where he whacked it but straight at keeper when a side foot pass either side of keeper would likely have done. I'm sure loads of players could suddenly become double figure goal scorers if the I'M GOING TO SHOOT BETTER WIND UP THE LEG AND PREPARE TO WHACK IT AS HARD AS I CAN switch could be turned off in their heads.

Jesse Pinkman Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The fact that Joelinton was laughing when he missed that chance says everything. He should be absolutely fuming with himself. Good midfielder but absolutely no killer instinct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I'd rather laughing than destroying his confidence. He has to do better but it happens. Good strikers mentality to have the confidence to know you will have those moments but score the next one. Better strikers finish it the first time though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) And he did! Our top scorer in the EFL Cup. Legend 2 goals. Edited January 24, 2023 by toontownman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I love him in midfield but once there is an expectation on him to score or create i remember the old Joelinton happy to he did end up getting a goal today but can we move him back to midfield please?

1892er Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Slow start but eventually got to his high level. Needs to put them chances away like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Can't be many stronger players in the league than him, he's just an absolute unit and his control just seems to be getting better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Thought he was much better once he dropped into the midfield three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Please please just get some composure in your finishing after putting the last one away, my favourite player but skied shots from four yards just destroy you as a fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soyt Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Had that incredible miss, but did not hide - came back and scored. Needs to start in midfield three surely now with ASM left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have said the same thing before the game, but he scored the winner, and in reality probably scored twice. Ironically he wasn't that great overall other than the goal chances, but his movement for the goal was fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 He needs to do more shooting practice, along with Wllock and Longstaff. Otherwise I love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
