Nobody Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Loved that play early in the second half when the Villa player just gave up after Joelinton did what he does and just dispossessed him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 2 hours ago, gbandit said: I reckon Willock is the most under-appreciated player in our side at the moment like. Think it’s a knock-on effect of him having lost his goal scoring form and a lot of his work not leading directly to goals, even though he’s created some great chances and is amazing when he makes his direct runs through the heart of midfield. I think his ability to run with the ball at great pace and transition us very quickly into attack isn’t matched by anyone else in the team other than ASM but Willock is more reliable in releasing the ball to teammates where ASM typically goes it alone a bit more. When he gets a goal I reckon we’ll see him go on a run of great form that will be a lot more noticeable (a la Miggy) For balance to some of the other replies, I couldn't agree more. 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing regularly for a team sitting 4th, picked by a tactical genius week in week out? Dopey Makem cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) So pleased how it's all turned out for him Said it before but he joined a team managed by Steve Bruce, unable to speak the languarge when the world was plunged into a pandemic. Barely able to score he must have felt so homesick, disappointed to have become a bit of a laughing stock. The mental strength he's shown to turn it arund shouldn't be underestimated and I hope he realises how much we appreciate him Edited October 30, 2022 by joeyt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Such a good dude. I remember talking with @HaydnNUFCwhen I was over last November, right around the time Joelinton was turning into a midfielder. Can't imagine what it must've been like for him to come here with that price tag, not live up to it, then be stuck in his apartment during lockdown without his friends or family around. To come out of that and keep his head high and become the player he has is amazing. Takes so much mental strength and belief, and obviously talent. Such a good story and long may it continue.

nufcjb Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 He's gone up in my estimation and I can tell you now, I will love it if he stays here even longer, love it. He maybe one of a future legend here. Yes, the word legend is a bit heavy but what he went through in his first 2 season under that knacker Bruce, to where he is now, its just mental.

Kanji Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) There is still so much more to come from him, i thought he looked incredible over the weekend interchanging with Willock - making tackles, driving forward, providing cover for the left side and then of course scoring his goal. When he was flying for Hoffenheim, he was at his best as a left sided forward no? Edited November 2, 2022 by Kanji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I think he will end up as an wide left forward again. He will be incredibly useful in our jaunts to European giants in the future. He's exactly the sort of massive shithouse you need to break the will of tough opposition on the road. His versatility means he will end up playing 30 games a season, even if we decide to "upgrade" in key positions. He's a beautiful, beautiful, beast.

This is it for me He was ridiculed by all, referred to as the biggest flop in the PL, he was on a 6 year contract and the easy thing could have been for him to just think sod this and just coast until his contract ran out. We've see many players do that but he never ever hid, would battle through games and always put his body on the line. It takes enormous character to do that and it's amazing that he's went from biggest waste of money to £40m being a bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 So does the big man come straight back in or have Willock and Longstaff earned their place ahead of him for Chelsea? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Both of Willock and Longstaff deserve to stay in for Chelsea but Joelinton equally deserves to come back into the team immediately so I imagine same team as started against Villa for the Chelsea game.

Nine Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Yeah, wouldn’t drop Willock for anyone and Longstaff is doing well so back in for Murphy if ASM isn’t ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
