AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 It was a really good performance overall, still worrying that the assist and goal moments were the ones he messed up. Guess nobody excuses everything perfectly. He put a big shift in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I was chuffed for him when the announcer shouted his name after the goal and everyone cheered earnestly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) I feel under Howe he will probably contribute more goals, but as decent as he was yesterday, look at Shelvey who was too and they are the same level of ‘performer’ over a course of a season, liabilities.

Doctor Zaius Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Howay Joe lad. He was really good yesterday apart from that slip. Really should have buried that. Desperate for him to come good like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think trying to sit the defender down and cut back was the wrong choice, he just wasn’t good enough to execute. See Jota’s finish for Liverpool yesterday, technique and composure. That’s the difference. He was great yesterday, most effective and confident display for us but he’s just not a natural goalscorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Yeah the cut back was the right decision but his legs give way far too often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the first game either, he continuously has done so and often when in great opportunities. Bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is generally a bit awkward/clumsy at times and so I think we'll always see that happen occasionally. Hopefully better fitness levels, which will get his legs under him more and improve his core strength will see less of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) May have miss seen it, but I thought he boot got stuck in the turf when he cut back. Edited November 21, 2021 by 54 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Weren’t there quotes from Nagelsmann saying that he’s a ‘machine’? Maybe with a defined role and purpose. In a system that has some structure and a coach who actually believes in tactics. He is actually quite a good player? Not sure he will ever be worth £40m. But that is kind of irrelevant now. Just want him to build on a really good performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Shearer described it as "the ball fell nicely for Joelinton". As someone who had a great first touch himself I thought that was an unnecessary comment as Jo's first touch was actually fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who had a great first touch himself I thought that was an unnecessary comment as Jo's first touch was actually fantastic. It’s fair to point out luck was involved - the ball falling to Joelinton was equally as fortunate as Lascelles deflecting a wide shot into the net. You’re right to say Joelinton took full advantage of that luck with a great touch and finish, but he was lucky it came to him at all. I’m of the opinion that Shearer really doesn’t like Big Joe - he never seems to say anything positive about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Shearer appears to be one of those that always blames the players for not trying hard enough when things don't work out, with everything therefore being their fault in those situations. Makes me wonder what on earth these guys think a manager is supposed to be responsible for? Unfortunately, the man is clearly a PFM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Quote Which brings us to Timbo talking to Richard Keys this weekend and asking: “Would Steve Bruce do a worse job than Conte is doing?” Keys’ reply: “Fair question.” He remains a key media ally of any PFM.
