huss9 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 course we were playing down the left. how often did joelinton offer an out ball on the right. just aimlessly jogging around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Bruce just amazes me man. I mean Joe's had a run of games recently, if you wanted to change the formation, with no one playing off Wilson, then why not just rest the guy this game? And if you did feel you had to play him for whatever reason, the way we lined up, you had to have him on the left and then ASM on the right. Joe is never going to take people on and run with the ball like ASM, and so having him on the same side as Krafth who isn't going to bomb on made no sense. The right hand side was killed off with that decision. If you had him on the left at least he could than use Lewis who makes overlapping runs all game. ASM is lethal either side and would have been fine on the right as he doesn't need support from Krafth. Bruce has to be one of the all time worst. Didn't even think to have Joe and ASM switch sides at any point. It's farcical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Not a fan of joelinton, but yes - if you play its on the left inside forward position (i'm old). so he may have been questioned about his starting line up, but not a single journalist has asked why he was suddenly switched to the right?

Honestly don't think the journalists actually watch the game, or even pay attention enough to ask any sensible questions. I saw a gazette article this morning talking about how Joelinton played on the left yesterday, when he was on the right all game. It's pitiful really.

I have been saying this from day 1. It's the posters on here with such shite as "there is a player in there somewhere" that get on my tits. What have they actually been watching?

johnny36 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Needs to be benched for next game.. Fraser, Almiron and even Murphy should be starting ahead of him..Bring him on as sub if needs be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 sit him. we've been patient enough. Cut the 40M loss and let him ride the pine for a half dozen games or so. Miggy's shown more in 20 minutes than big joe has in a dozen games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser, Almiron and even Murphy should be starting ahead of him..Bring him on as sub if needs be Even this comment confirms that the "fan base" have been sleep walked into thinking Joelinton is of any contribution at all. No, he shouldn't even be on the bench! He's useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 It’s the same sort of thing as Carroll starting v Brighton because ‘it wouldn’t have been fair’. He had a good game against Newport and Burnley, but Fraser had just come back from a good week with Scotland and Almiron is still a better option. I reckon he’s a good bench player to cover across the front line and who could even start in certain matches, but his selection just sums Bruce up.

Lenny Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I'm at the stage now where I'm so disinterested in our performance that I'm not noticing the positive things he's doing in the unthreatening areas. I'm sure they're there from time to time but I'm just seeing him fail in attacking positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I generally give a new player a season's grace, however when they carry their first seasons performance into the next then IMO it's not form or adapting that's the reason for their level of performance, it's their standard. That said, we have an utterly toxic setup totally unaccommodating to adapting players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joselu was head and shoulders above this bloke. Well I was expecting someone to pipe up with that even as I said it. Not going to argue Joelinton's any sort of striker, but he's still been one of the better footballers from our team today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
