Joelinton: will not play against Everton (Howe)


Recommended Posts

he'll be back in against arsenal.

 

 

Good because he’s been better than almost everyone in that shower on Tuesday night

 

you'd prefer him in over gayle, matty, murphy and miggy.

he should be the last guy brought back into the team.

Have we seen him up front with Wilson yet? Didn't he play off Wilson for end of Palace game, and actually resembled a PL footballer.

 

In a side that isn't totally filled with cloggers (mainly Shelvey and Hendrick playing wide) our best option would be him playing off Wilson surely in 442. Should never play out wide again, just a fish up a tree, and can't play up top on his own.

 

Stick him in behind Wilson, with a couple of players that can control and pass nearby it might be best of a bad situation.  :sad:

 

Darlow

don't care - Fed - Schar - Lewis

Almiron - Hayden - Matty - Ritchie/ASM when fit

Joe

Wilson

He is, unfortunately, up there with our worst ever players, at least in my lifetime of watching us. The fee paid is barely even a significant factor at this point, he's just been dreadful overall since signing.

Remember that video of Bruce meeting him for the first time? Steve obviously had no prior knowledge of what Joe looked like and could only say something to the tune of, "You're a bloody big bugger, aren't you?"

 

I can't understand how it hasn't worked out for the lad.

I still can’t get my head around his transfer fee. He’s about as lethargic as the rest of the team (Almiron aside) now and going through the motions.

 

Can really say it about almost all of Bruce’s signings.. they’ve looked ok in the first game and then once the coaching sets in, it’s a sharp decline.

Never seen this like?  :lol:

 

Been thinking for a while now that something stinks with this transfer. Club wanted him when Rafa was here, and he rightly told him get to f*** - he's s****, then sign him 12months later for a record fee.

 

Get the £40M figure was happily publicised by the club to appease fans saying we don't spend, and is likely clause related, but still - it's going to surely be upward to £30M, even being paid over a couple of years. Looked on a Hoffenheim forum through translate the other week, and they seemed to think he couldn't score, and he was a limited, functional player. That was when Nagalsmen was there I think - so he was likely instructed on every facet of his game, and knew where to run at every given time, and knew he had to run, run, and run. Now he's allowed to be a plodder  :fool:

 

Anyone more in the know - who's actually running any sort of recruitment at the club?

He's been almost not shite playing off Wilson for a couple of games. What the fuck does Bruce think playing him as a winger in a flat 442 I'll never know. He's got literally no attributes for that role :lol:

 

Makes sure Almiron is even more wasted than normal too.

 

There were 9/10 shit players today, Joelinton seems to be getting 90% of the criticism :lol:

 

Possibly because he’s been utter dogshit since he joined and even those who gave him minutiae of a chance are sick of him lumbering about doing fuck all and wasting a shirt.

Yep I wanted him to do well. Made excuses for his poor form but it’s clear to see now that he’ll never be a good player, not in this league. He doesn’t have the pace or the mentality to worry any team.
