Joelinton: suspended for Ipswich, not Brentford

Tbh, I thought he was largely poor until the 70 minute mark. As oppo players tire he doesn’t (or doesn’t as much) and he has a bit of space and looks good. Would only bring him on as a sub with 30 to go. 10 mins to get up to speed and then 20-25 mins of bullying everyone. 
He doesn’t have the kind 180° vision to play in midfield, especially facing his own goal.

He’s not playing the same position(s) that he did that season.  He’s clearly much better further forward, but he’s a middling (at best) midfielder.

This change in system won’t get the most out of him, he’s at his best in the full on press we deployed that season. 
 

Having said that, he was one of our best performers today.

We are even poorer without him in the side. Some will argue that but we are severely lack any strong ball winners in the whole squad and big Joe is best at that when we go full on press like a few season ago. Sadly for some reason, we're not playing that style anymore and it makes him look 'off form' when actually the whole team is 'off form'.

There was a fair bit of space for him to play and he wasn't playing centrally so I think it suited him and it showed. Also, looks so much better from 70 mins on.
