Emotic Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 There was that Chronicle article about him back in November, which reported that he’d engaged his own personal fitness coach as well as a analytics specialist- all on top of the coaching that the club provides. Testament to how invested he was in sorting things out for himself and his hunger to get things right. That led to that story about how his analytics guy was stumped as to how to get Big Joe to play optimally in Bruce’s system, because he could never figure out what Bruce’s system was!

Flip Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Convinced his inability infront of goal is all confidence issues. Because for every game that goes he’s looking more and more like a player full of ability. His first games in midfield he was doing so well due to his workrate. But now he’s carrying the ball with confidence in midfield, playing it easy and always getting into positions to help his teammates. Get defensive midfielder next to him and give Bruno some freedom in midfield with Willock coming off the bench and our midfield is a top 8-10 in the league. We’ve gone from one of the worst midfields ever to a potentially top 8 due to this guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Someone needs to do a video at the end of the season showing his transformation. Starting with all his missed goals, the kicks into the turf, the misplaced passes then Clarks sending off and his emergence into a ball winning midfielder.

ponsaelius Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) The comparison with Moussa Dembele is quite a good one I think. Joelinton is slightly more on the physical enforcement side than pure technical quality on the ball but they're both players who came to England as wide attackers and struggled with goal output so instead found a niche further back. Howe deserves huge credit for seeing his now very obvious qualities where previously he had seemed a hopeless case.

Dembele was basically impossible to dispossess at his peak, Joelinton still gets caught reasonably often. He can get better though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie1892 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 should be player of the season already, tremendous performance again and that video of him on his own on the pitch at the end speaks volumes to his character as well, he could just as easily given up completely but he didnt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On current form I could even see him stick around much longer than many of our other players. Fantastic turnaround of fortunes, and the lad deserves all the credit because he never stopped grafting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
