Joelinton: will not play against Everton (Howe)

[Tiresias]

If Guardiola was fielding Joelinton it would have been called a 'false midfielder' or something and some tactical masterstroke. I think he's been better in the middle than some give credit for but its not quite his best. He sits somewhere half way between a left sided central midfielder box to box type and a winger. He somehow remains influential and involved in the general play despite theoretically being up on the wing. He's massively tactically flexible without complaint or without willingness to do all the dirty work of whatever position he finds himself in

Yes, the form he was in before he had that nasty injury, thought he was destined for greatness and deserved an England call-up soon. We finished 7th last year, imagine just having him fit 50% more last season? FFS  

 

Yes, I was wondering if it was Maddison + Tonali! 

 

Was the perfect opportunity for players like Anderson and Tonali to make a name for themselves playing every week, though! Oh, wait..

Think he's been great as a midfielder tbh. just think we're different side with Willock on that LCM spot.

Am I right in thinking he got a decent amount go G/A when playing on the wing when we finished 4th ?

 

At the back end of the season we qualified for the Champions League he played a lot on the left and he ended up scoring  6 goals and assisting 2 from that position in 15 appearances there in the Premier League.

Yeah, I would say one of the main improvements has been in our build up play and possession.

 

Joelinton can sometimes get caught on the ball in the centre and be a bit loose with his passing amidst the congestion in there. Willock is much tighter in those spaces having coming through at Arsenal and being used to that more intricate play.

 

Roaming from out wide Joelinton ends up facing play more often, and can also afford more time on the ball as he has more space.

I think my stats from last page was Premier League specific, the one you linked includes the cup. Nothing wrong with including the cup though, we met lots of PL teams in the EFL cup.

Ah, yes. I believe you are correct 

 

Looks like he played 11 Prem games there with 4 goals and an assist, according to the page I shared.

Ah, yeah, I see now that it was actually 8-3-0 in the league with him starting at LW. Not 7-3-0. My OCD had to correct it.

What a beautiful finish, btw. As if he's got an RB on his swinger, ffs.

 

I think it's his best goal tbh. Even better than the Meelan one.

Need a photo of him immediately after scoring. Not from behind, I've seen that. From the front.

There's not really another player like him is there? He's an absolute merchant of destruction.

Willock is more press resistant than people give him credit for. Rarely loses the ball when tight.

Not good this mind. There’s already a comparative lack of incentive to live in NE without compounding it with safety issues. Was this the Albanians again?

[Groundhog63]

I know they shouldn't have to but if I was on £100k a week, or a billionaire owner, I'd pay some lads £1000 a night to keep tabs.

I was thinking about this, like if you know you’re off away with the family and that footballers are targets, pay some radgys to stay with the house grounds and stop any bother.

We're not on £100k a week but when we go away Groundhog jnr or her eldest come and house sit, feed the dog, the Hedgehogs, the fish. 

I mean their, respective, gaffs might get plundered but we've got the real wealth 😜
