Dr. TC Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I thought he was brilliant tonight when few were. We've really missed him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Yeah. Some brain dead fouls and his customary row Z shot. But that’s just Big Joe. Got to take the rough with the smooth. Hard to pick MOTM. No real standout and more flashes here and there. But he is up there with Trippier and Barnes, for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I like him a lot and he's easily our 3rd best CM but fuck me do we need to upgrade on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaj Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Looked close to his best I thought. He’s vital on Sunday in a game we won’t have the ball much so it’s much needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 He looks back to a good level physically, which had been missing when he was clearly playing through an injury. I think if he can make Sunday a bruising encounter it could really help us. Just needs to thread the needle of combativeness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 When he’s really up and running he’s worth a place. When he’s struggling and we’re not playing well it’s obviously harder for him. But very happy we have the big 3 in midfield for the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) I feel like he has a lot of intangible qualities that won’t show up even if you were looking at advanced stats. To use a cliche. Setting the tone would be one. Scaring the opposition would be another His recovery runs are really underrated, as even if he doesn’t get across. He is often there to shut off the cut back or pass back inside. He often becomes a bit of an out ball with some mid-range passes aimed into him at chest and head height. We miss that from the back when he is out. As nobody else in our team seems capable of holding the ball up back to goal. He can play out of trouble when facing his own goal because of his size. It doesn’t always work. But it often wins us a free kick or gets us up the pitch. Bit of a rogue and brain dead at times. Not the best technically. But I feel like he embodies all that has made this Howe team great, since the move to midfield. Edited March 10 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
