AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 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 In what world does he have the potential to be worth over £100m? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J7 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I thought he was shite on Friday before his brilliant work for the two goals. I really hope he comes good, but the patheticness of his efforts are baffling from a footballer in any position, never mind an attacker. The effort for his goal was even tame, luckily coming off the defender. Missing the ball totally for the header under no pressure was also unbelievable. Hopefully its a confidence thing and everything turns round now, but it's not very promising when this is happening without the pressure of a crowd.

TRon Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Gayle should get the nod over him if fit but it was great work to make that first goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Did he really try to backheel the ball when he was one on one in the first half? No. He was being closed down by two defenders either side of him and tried the backheel to squeeze it between them to Wilson iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 He has a very dodgy first touch, but when he does have the ball under control, he often uses it well and opens things up. Difficult player to assess. But his overall contribution is getting better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still without a doubt the worst signing we've ever made, but he's better when he doesn't have to try and score, because fuck me is he bad at that.

Which is normally what an attacker is supposed to be good at. This Joelinton has no attributes of a forward. His hold up play is ok, he is weak as piss, he is terrible in the air, he does not move the defenders around. By that I mean his movement is shocking and his movement in the box is non existent. People (like you) are so desperate for him to be great that they think a simple pass to one of his team mates allows comments such as "there is a player in there". It's bollocks man. Just admit he's useless and we have been done up like a kipper by his agent. He should be nowhere near the first team squad in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Seems to be getting a bit of confidence and it's showing in his stats (I've barely watched any of our games so can't comment on performance). Could still surprise a few of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 He’s done well in the games he’s started this season and he’s finally adding the end product to go with it last couple of days. Was unlucky not to score v Chelsea before Palace too. He’ll never be a £40m player but I doubt any of our current squad (possibly ASM), but that’s not his fault. If you don’t like that opinion Rod, then fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
