Can't believe we didn't cash in on this guy and Amanda Shitely renewed his contract. Would rather we didn't have a unicorn Brazilian mentalist rampaging around football pitches scaring the piss out of opponents.

He's either scoring again or getting sent off and I've no idea which 


I don’t think he’s ever been sent off for us. Probably should have but not officially.

Channeled that anger really well at half time. Wasn't sure if he could carry on at halftime but I was proven wrong he came out with a brilliant attitude.

Looked like his old self the last few games. What a player. 

 

We're a completely different problem to solve when he's on song.

He's been back to his best the last few games, when he's like this he's an absolute nuisance for the opposition 

 

I really hope his injuries are behind him because since the Mackem FA Cup game he's been picking up quite a few and it's clearly affected his form

Thought he was going to spark the referee out after not getting that pen for the dive :lol: 

 

I think he was fuming because of the yellow card, I'm not sure it was a dive, he lost his balance but it definitely wasn't a penalty, was a harsh yellow and I think thats what irked him. But yeah he went full radge, I bet the refs arse went for a second :lol:

 

Great to have this Joe back, it was obvious he was carrying something and maybe should have been rested earlier but glad he got that time out so we get this version of him back, not the most technically gifted footballer but we're a different animal with him in the team like this and I love how he bulldozes his way out of tight situations with the ball bouncing around between his feet, he never looks in full control of it but somehow always is.

The way the team plays basically relies on what he offers to set the tempo and physicality. We've looked much better with him back in the team and on form. It's a massive catch 22 as we know he also has clear weaknesses on the ball as a midfielder that often compound our ability to retain controlled possession.

I feel like him & (current) Tonali together compounds that technique issue. I feel like you can carry one midfielder in a 3 with those limitations, but we have two as it stands. Bruno loses the ball but he's often trying things rather than cheaply surrendering it.

 

Feels a strong case right now that our best midfield 3 would be Miley-Bruno-Joelinton.
