HaydnNUFC Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Class yesterday. He's an absolute tank, never gets pushed off the ball and always wins it when he uses his body and shields it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 He played forward balls much quicker too, as did the whole team. If he adds goals he could be the complete package, but he can’t shoot to save his life sadly. Loved how aggressive he was in terms of protecting his team-mates whenever they put a foul in on one our players or whenever he thought the ref got something wrong. Trippier and Burn do it a lot too as does Wilson. We have real leaders on the pitch now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 He's pretty unique due to his position change, midfield destroyers don't usually have the ability to dribble and make long carries like Joe does but because of his background as a forward it's natural for him. If only he could shoot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 His off the ball work is great but I was actually impressed yesterday that he is starting to appreciate what a physical beast he is and was basically backing into players and then using his body to roll them and create a break away. Did it a few times and made me think, there are very few midfielders he will come up against that will be able to stop that. Bodes well, also great work on the overlap assist for the goal, he's done that before. As others have said just needs to be practising shooting every day in training because it really is the weakest part o this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye you're right I feel with Mousa Dembele he's got a similar transition as Joelinton. He started with AZ and Fulham as a striker/shadow striker and then eventually moved back to being a really technical and strong centre mid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also just read this so I'm going to pretend I was being really hipster with his spelling Dembélé uses the spelling "Mousa" for his first name (e.g. on his Twitter account[10]), and so do his club,[11] national team[12] and most news articles about him. However, in a 2016 interview, he said that the proper spelling ought to be "Moussa".[13] In a 2018 interview he further clearified that his first name was accidentally misspelled "Mousa" when he had to renew his passport one time and then just decided to keep on using it that way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Parka Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 4 hours ago, Holloway said: He gets mentioned by opposing fans so much more often now, he's becoming so commanding now. Watching that surging run into the box yesterday, I do wonder if he practises his shooting enough, he had the time to comfortably bury that and he snatched at it He's on the motd intro. He's made it into the public consciousness now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
