Joelinton: will not play against Everton (Howe)


Recommended Posts

Think we got a glimpse of “training Joelinton” here like, just refused to leave with anything less than a win and made certain of it.

 

It’s one thing doing it against his mates behind closed doors, but in a game of that magnitude? Dear me.

 

Think he’s still got even more to come, too, and we’ll hopefully get a glimpse of that if he has to play DM again at Bournemouth.

One thing noticeable 2nd half. Is now Willock is back, Howe tends to prefer to put him Left side centre midfield and then he put Big Joe back out wide.


When he did that we got a glimpse of 2 things that we saw alot last season: 

1) that run over the top and ball from Schar can be so dangerous. 

2) He shuts down defensively anything on his side with his support for the full backs. Nothing came down their right, and then when Ritchie came on and they started getting 2 runners on Tino (because they couldn't beat him 1v1) Howe switched Joe over to the right and helped shut that down aswell :).

 

If I was Howe, I'd be very tempted for this tough away game to Dortmund to, if Willock is fit to start, get the big joe/little joe left side back together and play Gordon through the middle or from the right and rotate him, Miggy or Wilson so that one of them is fresh to come on after an hour or so.

Said it in the match thread, and it's a bit of a cliche, but you just can't miss chances like that at this level, away from home especially. Really poor header. 

 

Love Joe but he needs to add goals to his game.

What’s interesting is that the way he plays centrally should mean that he’d be a good target man, but something just isnt right about him up front, it’s like he just doesn’t have any instincts for it. Whereas in the middle he’s generally a battering ram

Sent off last night against Argentina. Never been a red. De Paul holding his face, when he was pushed in the chest, after trying to pull Joelinton back for a good few seconds and not letting go of his arm. 
 

Stupid response from Big Joe. But it’s still not a red. Yellow for each I would have thought.

It’s not even a yellow for Big Joe 

 

One of the worst decisions you’ll see

Just seen it, absolutely ridiculous. Surely they review it and see he pushed him in the chest and it should have been a free kick to Joelinton. 
 

de Paul's a right prick

Those are the ones where I feel the player in Joelinton’s place should have the right to just kick the guy writhing around on the pitch as hard as he can up the arse.
