TRon Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 5 hours ago, andyc35i said: Were some of you watching a different game last night… He wasn’t spectacular, but had a decent game. Held up the ball in the middle and turned away from the press well, had some nice touches / simple passes, made many runs forward to create an overlap and helped out defensively really well. It didn’t help that he was being fouled all game and the fluidity of the team wasn’t great overall Just because he missed a penalty it seems like the judgement reverts to a poor game, very strange reaction I agree, even against Bournemouth he wasn't as bad as some are making out. When I am being critical it's only in comparison to the leading clubs and their midfielders as that's where we ultimately want to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is still going to rack up a record number of yellows this season I reckon Much better today, I thought. After a couple of poor games (I didn’t see the cup game FWIW. But read he wasn’t great.

The thing is with players like Joelinton I feel like even if they don't play great they can be integral to a result through sheer perseverance and determination.

Kid Icarus Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 His tackling seems off at the moment. If he sorts that out he sorts out everything else I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah. In games like Southampton and today. He is invaluable for his off ball work. The fact in both games. He has also scored and all but created another. Is hugely promising. If he can improve his… ‘on ball value’ I believe the stattos call it. Then look out. We have some sort of Vieira/Yaya Toure on our hands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, I think that’s a little unfair. TCD was very relaxed about our bad form last year. And at least he has the ability to admit mistakes. There are a few far far worse than him.

gbandit Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Loath to talk on behalf of someone else but my take is that it’s less about being contrarian and more about always wanting to have a take on things and theorise about the reasons for things and normally those takes come across less like an opinion and often like “this is how it is”. I think the strength of belief that TCD sometimes has in his own takes is why people struggle sometimes and the directness of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 (edited) I don’t think he’s had a great start this season, it’s early doors but hes looked an erratic mess at times. Just looks a bit off it really. The starting pair of him and Longstaff is a lot of industrious grit and substance, but not killer enough. Given everyone fit and available I feel our best midfield will end up as Tonali Bruno Willock. Edited September 15 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Yeah - he looks a wee bit out of form. He will come good again though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Bruno infected him with the over-playing virus, good call to replace him given the circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 (edited) Loved him getting dragged off at half time. He's getting a bit too into playing the heel. Needs to focus more on what he's doing on the pitch and stop going back and forth with the ref and opposition all the time. It's affecting his performances. Actually started well today before getting wound up and then failing to pieces. Edited September 15 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
