Mattoon Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I've been nursing an iliopsoas strain for 5 or 6 weeks and it's hard to discern as it just feels off but you can't pinpoint the pain, even with stretches. It wasn't until week 6 that the pain moved to a proper groin strain as nerve guarding relaxed. What I'm trying to say is its not as cut and dry as some might think and not as simple as blaming the coaching setup for over-playing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Going forward Joelinton has to be more of a situational player that starts games where we need more bite and resilience. Don't think he can be looked at as a first teamer anymore as his body just won't hold up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably just as simple as dropping him from games where the opponent sits in a low block, he's not much use when we're looking for creativity.

This is obvious, stupidity to start him against Wolves and PSV with Villa and PSG coming up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we evolve our style, he’s still someone Howe will always pivot back too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) That sounds cool and reasonable but in reality this is Joelinton & Bruno's team. We've needed to think beyond Joelinton for 2 years now. Edited January 28 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeks usually means months when Howe talks about injuries Joe's been absolutely class recently, but we can't go on relying on him, misses far too many games. Hopefully this means that Ramsey and Willock start to get some good game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Injection So ending in tears. Get a couple of games at most then he's out for the season. Big gamble for Joe as that could be his world cup hopes over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
