Joelinton: will not play against Everton (Howe)


Recommended Posts

Playing against a low block like Bournemouth while in a 3 man midfield is when I'd expect JL to show some attacking quality. He barely got in the box. I'd really expect him to show some drive and attacking intensity but he didn't offer much at all. Just a header in stoppage time.

Poor on the ball as per, his technical ability just doesn’t come close his other attributes. He’s great in this set up as his physical output and energy means he’s great in the press but going forward when he’s not just carrying the ball he’s weak and theres no other way to say it. Still love the big cunt.

Probably his worst game in a calendar year. He's earned a bad day at the office, but games like today shows his lack of technical ability. If he wants to continue his role as an all action pressing beast, we need another CM who can pick a pass. Willock and Longstaff are not that. We really miss shelvey

one shot saved from 8 yards

one shot hit the post from 10 yards

and a header over from 7 yards

 

Who did more in and around the box?

Precisely.

Willock is our weak link, he fails to take any advantage of the hard work of others. Difficult to say he hides as his enthusiasm is clear to see. I just don't think he's the man for that role. I'd rather play Bruno there and Longstaff in the Shelvey role.

I’m not sure he gets straight back in TBH. 

No chance he would keep Longstaff in instead of Joe. If he really wants to put out his best eleven each week he has to be ruthless.

longs hasn’t really done anything “wrong”, but Joe is a big step up…
