Amir_9 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 You'd be lying if you couldn't tell he was shitting his pants and not upto it mentally going up to take that penalty One does wonder if the guy has the ability to fully get the confidence back to show anywhere near the ability expected/paid for.

sempuki Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 He looked nervous before the penalty and I thought he'd miss. Didn't look that bad today but he is just not good enough. Better to take a hit than to persevere but I can't see many buyers out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just suggests he's not really a natural goal scorer, which we already knew tbh. That said, we looked a million miles better when he came on, just because he's a miles better footballer than Carroll.

Don't waste your time man I only wish that penalty miss had sent us out so Bruce could get the full criticism that performance deserved. Disgusting stuff.

toontownman Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Plays well with the pressure off and a bit of time and space. Probably be a great player in Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Yeah, also he’s lowered expectations to the point where controlling a ball and carrying it a little is considered a good performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Yeah, also he’s lowered expectations to the point where controlling a ball and carrying it a little is considered a good performance. That's because there's not that many in our team who can do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because there's not that many in our team who can do it. Did well to get it on target. Looked like a man walking the plank as he strolled up to take it. That said he was infinitely better than Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schar came on and immediately you could see the difference it makes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Fair play to him for stepping up and taking a penalty in the first five. Genuinely thought he'd shirk it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. So much this. I don't even know if he scored or missed this penalty as I've been out. Doesn't matter either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Our expectations really have been lowered. Some of you should go and watch the National League, you'll have your minds blown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an ok penalty, save not a miss The context of my post was to highlight his performance during the game, not the penalty, and the fact that I mistakenly wrote "miss" rather than "save".

I would say I only really agree with this statement to an extent. I've been watching football for long enough now to feel like I'm able to objectively assess a players performance, and Joelinton's was a fairly positive one for the amount of time he was on the pitch, not just "good by his standards".

Dr.Spaceman Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Fairly positive in the sense that this time he was able to trap the football? That's progress alright. In all seriousness if that's fairly positive it's no wonder MA is able to get away with the shit he's doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I presume that having watched his performance, your assessment was that all he did was trap the ball, and that said trapping of the ball is what lead me to say his performance was positive? Or are you adding a layer of agenda to my post that isn't there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that performance against a League 2 side can be classed as 'fairly positive' then Mike Ashley has won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
