Joelinton: will not play against Everton (Howe)


Recommended Posts

What he is,is very average.  Bruce trying him in different positions  and i's not that he's better in those positions he's just not as bad.  He hasn't got one attribute that's in the £40 million bracket.  Looks okay until he steps onto the pitch then it goes downhill.

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.

 

Some on here are more bothered about their opinions being right than what actually happens on the pitch. We know he's poor in front of goal, but actual football wise he was doing far more than some of the anonymous midfielders behind him.

To be fair he’s had two decent games in succession, but decent only by his standards, otherwise he’s still shit by any other measure of standard, IMO.

Last night he was much better, he made a few good runs into the box and was unlucky with that through ball from Wilson that got deflected away by the defender, he was well positioned to score there. It was the most attempts on goal in one game that he’s had for us.

 

In general him and Wilson linked up quite well.

 

If he gets service in the areas where both goals came from I think he could salvage this season which frankly has been dire up to now.

The problem I’ve got is people have an agenda with him even when faced with improvement. He’s improved since last year but he’s still got a long way to go. It’s good to see numbers backing up what a lot of people thought. Hopefully it continues.

I agree, I was just loosely quoting :bruce:

We could also look at some select statistics from the premier league website compared to our actual Striker since they joined Newcastle.

 

Callum Wilson

Appearances 9

Goals 7

Goals per match 0.78

Shots 18

Shots on target 8

Shooting accuracy %44%

 

Joelinton

Appearances 47

Goals 3

Goals per match 0.06

Shots 62

Shots on target 20

Shooting accuracy  %32%

 

He's clearly not a center forward as we all knew from the start. Even Dennis Wise scouting could tell you that. We also didn't need Wilson to come in to show him up either to prove that point.

 

However he could still be useful in that 10 role driving from deep if he can learn to use that height to hold the ball up better and also someone teaches him how to kick through the ball properly.

 

All is irrelevant if we ever got taken over however. With only Wilson and ASM I could see worthy enough of keeping if we were to ever go full money splash overhaul.

Here are some numbers for you.  Never in a MILLION years is this bloke worth anywhere near 43 MILLION.  He is average to poor and worth TUPPENCE.

We’ve had a few no.9’s since Shearer which were not no.9’s. It’s not a big deal. I don’t care how many goals he’s scoring if he’s putting himself about and creating chances, he’s worth a place in the team.

 

His transfer fee is irrelevant, it was a punt by Mike Ashley that he’d tear up the Premier League and be sold to Chelsea or City the following season for 3 time the amount. Like many of his gambles, it didn’t pay off.

 

As a squad player he’s going to play his part this season. Get behind him, he’ll start delivering more regularly

I'd have kept the Hos. Good back up plan, can see why Rafa got him in. Type of player who will do a job when called upon,  and not cry if he's left on the bench.

 

Utter nonsense. He was as effective off the bench as Carroll has been. Absolute nothing player. Get a feeling if it was Bruce who had brought Joselu in you would be singing a different tune. The bloke was proper crap.
