NG32 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Quote Joelinton replied: “It’s a dream. Newcastle is a great club, but they are below those others. I know that to get to this level I need to work harder and make a better season than what I’ve done here. I want to play in the Champions League again, but that just depends on what I do at Newcastle. Things happen very fast in football. I have to keep working, confident, with positive thinking.” I hope he has been working hard in the Pre Season to have those kinds of aspirations.

Acha que pode alcançar um desses clubes na carreira?" was the question Maybe poor translation as others on Twitter have suggested but "In the last two seasons you've been much more of a starting lineup than a team reserve and have scored against ''Big Six'' teams like Tottenham and Manchester City. Do you think you can reach one of these clubs in your career?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 One goal every 11 games in the league. Might have to step it up a notch or two if you want to join a 'bigger club' Joe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjohnson Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I'd like to play for a top 6 club too. I'm only limited by being about 3 stone overweight, massively unfit, and generally pretty crap at football in general. Can dream though :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Football player hideously misused and doesn’t perform shocker. If my boss asked me to carry out a role I’m totally unsuitable for, in a failing team, I probably wouldn’t be particularly motivated either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a striker, what we really need from one of those is goals. He did some good work yesterday, but the only goal we scored came from a full back.

It’s unsurprising he’s not scoring goals in this team and system. He’s not a poacher who will score with his one attempt on goal, which is often all our strikers get in games. He’s also not a target man. Bruce tries to use him in those two systems and it’s totally wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difficulty yesterday was every kick from Woodman was directed towards him and as you've said he isn't a target man. 50% of the time he will either bring it down well on his chest, but mainly it is a flick on to no one or he gets crowded out and its totally ineffective. It looks like the meticulous plan is for us to take an age distributing from our keeper towards Joe or for our defence to play a long ball down the flanks in the hope that ASM/Wilson can get the ball. The planning suits absolutely no one and the fact it has been 5 games so far without success is showing a lack of management, ability and motivation to do anything about it.

He still wouldn't score many, but he'd probably create chances for others because he's got good feet and can put in some decent flicks and touches into dangerous areas.

He’s much better running at defenders with the ball, I think IIRC most of his Hoffenheim goals that I saw were in that sort of position too. He needs to be played just behind/alongside a striker. I think he’d have been effective with someone like Rondon in the Perez position. But we don’t buy players with a plan on how to use them. We buy players with a plan on how to sell them.

Slim Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Presume the reason he does not play in the position is because he is not better than the players who already do/can. So basically its upfront or nowt. Also be happy with nowt. Edited September 12, 2021 by Slim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
