Gallowgate Toon Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I'd say he's player of the season at this point. He's been 7/10 pretty much every week across multiple positions. We have more important players in lots of ways but Joelinton sums up Howe's Newcastle perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) I always thought he'd come good and that there was a good footballer in there, but fuck me. Howe's transformation of him early last year was vindication and his continued improvement in that role was amazing. Then he was trusted further forward again and utilised LW more and he was decent. Thoughts of 'yeah he can do a job there but he wont be first choice', then he just continued to improve there as well. Then he'd be asked to play in a midfield 3 again, and he was better again. Then him and Willock developed this fluid left hand side and he was even betterer. Then he started to stick passes and now he's got a silky touch and can finish on demand. 15 months, man. I fucking love him. Edited April 27, 2023 by Super Duper Branko Strupar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't get an assist for our first against Spurs either. He forces a save and Murphy buries the rebound. Does anyone know if that's an assist in ice hockey? Lots of goals in that sport from rebounds. Football has stats for "big chances" and "key passes", so it must be capable of doing nuanced judgements, just not for assists. With assists being an oft-quoted, high-profile stat, its poor and only encourages folk to think stats are bollocks (they are not). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 That Schar to Joelinton switch over the top has got teams absolutely flummoxed at the moment. With most of our build-up play this season coming down the right, they're just not thinking about it, and then it happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 1 hour ago, Nobody said: Everything is assists in ice hockey Haha, thanks! My knowledge of ice hockey comes from a 1980s game console called a Mattel Intellivision. On its game, the only way to score was a rebound. You had hit an initial shot that knocked over the goalkeeper, sorry goal tender isn't it. Only then could you score. Getting back to Joelinton, but him, Bruno, and Willock would probably all start for Liverpool. A team that was chasing a quadruple just twelve months ago. They missed the league title by one point and outplayed Real in the CL final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, stats boosted in all categories. So he'll be faster, better at dribbling, better at shooting etc etc. This is all among the FUT (FIFA Ultimate Team) mode of the game, basically the only part of FIFA people play nowadays, mainly online.
