Joelinton - Likely to Miss Rest of Season with Knee Injury (Howe)

I know Bruno and Tonali are aesthetically better and might have bigger moments than him but I think he's the hardest of the 3 to replace, as frustrating as he can be.

Not sure about hardest to replace but we certainly look a lot worse without him starting.

I know most won't agree and that's fair but good luck finding a player of his profile.

He is like mate. 

He offers us so much and you can easily forget that even when he's not playing fully fit. When he is out you notice the difference straight away.

Need another CM in the summer. We cant play several games without him.

Been saying this for awhile now. The drop off after 1 injury is too much

We dont need to find the same player, but having Willock and Longstaff as backup is not good enough. Leaving Miley out of the conversation.

Was missed today. His workrate off the ball is what holds our midfield together.

[Stifler]

Spent all that time toeing the line so he didn’t get a 2 game suspension, to end up with us getting battered off Villa in one of the games he would have missed, and then missing the rest of the season regardless.

Strap him up one more time

Would love him to be available, but we have had plenty of similar performances with him in the side this season.

100%. What we needed today in midfield was better ball retention of a bit of creativity. Admittedly I think he’d have  functioned better with Tonali and Bruno than Willock did.

If Tonali and Bruno aren't dictating or creating then they aren't doing enough.
