Newcastle Fan Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 It's really hard to believe this is the same Joelinton who i dreaded seeing his name in the starting line-up just a couple of years ago, he's honestly one of the world's best players right now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 When you look at the complete transformation of this lad, it makes you wonder how many other players have had their careers ruined simply by playing under a terrible manager? I swear that Papiss Cisse is that kind of example. He never recovered from being Pardewed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Eddie said recently that he is massively focused on learning and improving hus game. It's there to see how driven he is and it's thrilling to think there's yet more to come Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Wow, that first touch was magnificent, but just watching the whole thing back on MOTD2, what a fabulous finish as well. There was still plenty to do once he brought it under control, he rounded the keeper perfectly, you see many strikers fluff that part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 His driving run into their box and shot led to the first goal then he scored the 2nd. You could argue he orchestrasted this entire result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 We're all so brutalized by the bruce years when basically any result had to come from one player actually doing something over and above, it's a proper fucking team now, everyone, not one or two, taking responsibility. Joelinton was a beast, as was everyone around him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Would be class if he could finish on 10 in all comps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prefabtoon Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 For all those saying it’s all down to “dirty oil” money here is a fact for them. 9 of the players involved today were with the club prior to the new owners or management team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 What a first touch that is by the way. Sumptuous. Deservedly MOM from Sky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 6 hours ago, KaKa said: One thing about this guy that is so valuable and quite frankly incredible and impressive is how you can just move him into different positions/roles within the same game and he just adapts and starts playing a completely different role from the one he started the game in, mid match Allows us to cover up so many weak spots in the squad man. It's downright daft how easily he pulls it off. Also very rugged. Will pick up suspensions but he’s always fit. So he can be used as a Swiss Army knife. Utility player has an almost negative connotation but I think he’ll end up being a top 5 PL utility player. His versatility and fitness and work rate will mean he’ll be here for a good while. Such a great option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Hilarious that the player Ashley bought as a punt has massively came good, but only after Ashley sold the club. He had a rare off game against Villa, but what a great reaction to it. Deffo MoM yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Wouldn't be surprised to see him finish on double figures as well. What's the record for most number of players at one club finishing with 10+ goals. Can't be more than 4 surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve never had 3 players do it in the Prem, never mind 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) The more I think about it, the more I think he might be our player of the season again you know? Yellow cards aside he's been more or less consistently brilliant and has added goals and assists to his game. Has to be between him, Schar, and Trippier for me.
