He’s a bit long in the tooth for our strategy (28) but perhaps we should sweep for him and have a full Brazillian midfield! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Forgetting him missing that sitter. He absolutely transforms our midfield. Hes everything we’ve been missing. Athletic, wins the ball, drives forward and been really good in possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athletic, wins the ball, drives forward and been really good in possession. There was talk of him needing to be upgraded in midfield on here. So easy to look past the difference he makes in there. The real issue is upgrading Longstaff, so that he has more quality around him to make up for some of his rougher edges. Brings way too much to our midfield to be taken out of there.

Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Honestly think if he’d been fit alongside Pope for the second half of the season we’d be challenging the top 4 places again. The difference they both make to our team is astounding. So with that in mind the club really should be looking for a youngster with his profile to deputise during his inevitable suspensions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Great to see him back again today. The difference he makes to our midfield - power and physicality as well as coupling up with his international teammate, to drive us forwards. He's been a big miss.

Gallowgate Toon Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Frustrating to see him back and quickly showing his level. Just shows how important physical presence is in the PL. We want to have increased technical ability, of course, but the best midfields in the league all have athleticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 5 hours ago, Ghandis Flip-Flop said: So with that in mind the club really should be looking for a youngster with his profile to deputise during his inevitable suspensions I honestly think he's a unicorn. You just can't find players with his physical presence who also have a great touch and decent eye for a pass. Hope he can still get better in tight spaces in midfield and his willingness to invite contact at CM isn't always optimal when a quick one touch pass would be the better option. He's massively important now but I believe there's still room for growth as it's easy to forget he's played this position for only a couple of years.

They’re completely different players with entirely different characteristics surely? A fit Willock is a useful player no doubt, but he doesn’t replace the physicality lost when Big Joe is out of the team at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
