mighty__mag Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Joelinton is not much different to Bruce. Bruce got 3pts last night from a shit show and all will be forgotten for a week, same with Joelinton, he was fairly poor and two incidents see him in good light. Over the course of his time here and again like Bruce's time here, statistically they're both horrendous. The proof is in many of our fickle fans, and Shearer on both player and manager. Shearer had plenty to say on Joelinton in the past and Bruce, last night a defeat to Palace he wouldn't have been saying I feel sorry for Joelinton, Joelinton worked his socks off, he never gave up bla bla bla. Same with Bruce Shearer suddenly pretending because Steve went with two up top we were more positive? Fuck off man! His subs were shit, players played out of positions, and it was extremely negative again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 4th prem goal. He’s steady. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Outside of Fernandez he was our best player last night. The header he missed was poor but he’s such an odd scapegoat for a lack of any game plan when things go wrong. He essentially won us the game last night by forcing the issue and people are still desperate to say how shit he is. It’s weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I've slagged him off loads but he was decent yesterday, worked hard and did really well to create the first goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepharite Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 There is a player in there, but Bruce isn't the manager to develop him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I've slagged him off loads but he was decent yesterday, worked hard and did really well to create the first goal. His run and touch to set himself before his goal was excellent as well. Huge fortune with the deflection obviously but they all count. Thought he was his usual bumbling self prior to it, but that was easily the most impressive 90 seconds I've seen from him since he joined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Best game he’s had for us. Shame there’s nothing we can do about his speed (both legs and mind) or the fact that despite his size he gets easily shoved off the ball and he can’t strike a ball cleanly.

Menace Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 That incident with Clyne barging him off the ball was comical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 One of his best games for us yesterday, he did extremely well for the second goal and deserved that bit of luck, i just hope he can actually produce a similar performance more often. and he needs to really learn how to striker a ball properly.

KaKa Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The one thing I will say about the striking of the ball is that most of those miss hits were with his left foot, which is his weaker one. In general though, his balance and coordination is not the best and that plays a big part in his poor finishing, and him being pushed off the ball and falling over at times. He does link play really well though and releases the ball to teammates in good time. Would have been even more useful if we had some pace and forward runs down the wings as well for him to thread the ball to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 He had a good game. Missed a couple of chances but was involved in most good things we did. Won the game for us in the end as well, never expected to say that in the PL. You are an idiot. You touch kids. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 He’s been alright for a couple of games TBH, in the context of our incredibly low standards. That said, if he hadn’t got incredibly lucky for the goal it might a different conclusion this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 It’s like he tops the ball with his left foot every time he strikes it, like a novice golf player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 We've had some luck in recent years having strikers who can't strike a football properly Yep, every time he hits a shot at goal, it's almost like he never catches it right and it trickles towards goal.

worthy Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Just stop playing him as a striker - for some reason he cannot strike the ball regardless of what he tries. Fluffed a shot yet somehow it went in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
