Rafalove Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 He does this thing where he uses his strength to keep to shield the ball from an opposing player then waits for someone to run in to space, and then passes to him. It’s class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s class That's what I meant when I was talking about his footwork. It's great to watch, and really effective as well. Your average footballer can't do it.

olliemort Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Seems to get better with each game, monster for us in midfield . Good for us he's not going to the world cup, seems to always be carrying a niggle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Break will do him good. Get him refreshed for 2nd half of season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 The stamina, aggression and athleticism of Joe, little Joe, Longstaff and Almiron really set the tempo of this team. You would say a couple of these are among the weakest players in the first team but they are so key to how we play. Anyone coming into replace them will need to get close to their work rate and stamina. The levels have been set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 With 14 games played and 24 still to go, it will be interesting to see if we can sustain this intensity after the world cup. Hopefully we do get a few quality additions that will help the squad depth. But no doubt the current lads have cemented their spots. So much so that people like Saint-Maximin and Isak will likely have to play their way back in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 3 hours ago, Kanji said: His interchanging with Willock on our left is outstanding. I love them both on that side together for the point you made, but also because Joelinton helps Willock out defensively too, and adds a bit more aggression to their partnership on that side.

toontownman Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Even when his control or passing let's him down he manages to get a toe in and win it back. He is incredible at the moment. Adore him! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 2 hours ago, TRon said: His footwork was exceptional as well, barely mislaid a pass all night, and that was impressive considering he sometimes had two players biting around him. One of those games where he looked a complete midfield player. Yep, there was a couple of superb first-time reverse passes - technically very difficult to pull off and he did it running at full pelt.

Lotus Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Think he was very useful in attack when he was drifting around the pitch, he only did it occasionally though. Would suspect our formation and tactics aren’t yet flexible enough for players popping up in different positions. That’s probably next! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Shoe-in for a Brazil call up the next time they have a friendly or some qualifiers you'd think. Can sort of understand the managers going with tried and tested for the tournament but I think he'll get looked at in the next "cycle". Same goes for Botman, and also Willock if he keeps the form going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I thought Trippier was everywhere and gets my vote. Botman was also right up there. Big Joe was great too. I thought almost all of the team were excellent today.

Vinny Green Balls Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Fairly certain that it was Joelinton. Bruno was just shy of the center circle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
