Joelinton: will not play against Everton (Howe)


Recommended Posts

As a man, he must be so fking intimidating. Something in the eyes, it's sort of Mike Tyson-esque.

 

6ft1 of pure muscle and absolutely not afraid to put himself about.

 

This might seem a bit old-school, but I want him to clatter more people, he needs to get 1 or 2 reds a season. I want the opposition players to actually fear this guy who really doesn't give 2 fucks about the consequences. Viera got many a red in his day - he holds the PL record currently for all-time sending offs. If it puts any hint of doubt in an opposition player and makes them play safer or more nervously, he's done his job.

Had a friend who doesn't follow football but she saw him on TV & was like 'where's he from? He looks like he could be Jonah Lomu's cousin'

I didn't even realise it was Joelinton's wedding they were at. For some reason I thought he was already married.

 

Looks like a cool do with the Hawaiian shirts. He should've worn the one with his face on though

Very good points in this post, especially regarding Vieira, who was the perfect blend of intimidation, muscle and ability.

I'd also like to see Bruno do a bit less of the physical/ red mist stuff - leave it to his mate.

There's lots that video doesn't show which we've sorely missed. This season's home win against Arsenal the last 10 to 15 minutes it was Big Joe clearing everything. Must have won over 10 headers in that time alone.  He seems to me now to be a real Captain type as well as the minder for a lot of the smaller players. A game against Everton a couple of seasons ago, Everton were really playing dirty and Joe sorted out their entire midfield. I don't think there's a player exactly like him in the game. Made up he signed his new deal.

Agree with this. He may have some technical flaws with his passing and finishing. Plus sometimes holding onto the ball so long. But never known a player like him that has so many qualities that don’t appear on any stats sheet or necessarily shine through if you’re half watching a game. 
 

He’s an animal and I’m also really happy he is staying.

Jonah Lomu was a bad ass and so is Big Joe.

Knowing fine well most, if not all of the rest of the squad didn't attend the wedding, am I over thinking or is Joe saying he doesn't see the rest of the squad as family?
