mrmojorisin75 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 One of those players that might improve without Bruce. bit of a pardew factor though, if it goes on much longer with bruce he'll probably be irretrievable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 2020 has been a weird year but Joelinton has just won it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 That miss. Great work for the goal though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Good to see him bursting a lung to get onto the end of it for the goal. Could easily have hid after that miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Delighted for him, but he really is woeful and we should move him on asap after the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I don’t think he’s that bad TBH, just confidence is shot to bits and shouldn’t be our only option and shouldn’t be a target man. As part of a better squad, I would be OK with keeping him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Probably his best game for us, bar the miss. Get enough support around him, and he can still have a future here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Delighted for him, but he really is woeful and we should move him on asap after the season. I'd keep him. Not worth selling for what we'd get back so with a more attacking team, with better players around him and not 1st choice we might see him open up a bit. We'd be lucky to see double figures if we sold him now. More likely loaned out with us covering a fair wedge of wages and if he doesn't do the biz then he's fucked and we're stuck with him.

duo Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Needs to work on his composure - he gets in the positions if he can sort his composure out he might become a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Fair enough, financially it's not a good time to sell him. But if we're building a team to be genuinely competitive in the top half of the league he needs to improve immensely even if he's going to be a squad player.

Guest neesy111 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 He was never a goalscorer before he joined, so no idea why we thought he was. He needs to play deeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Showed good mental strength to get that awful first half out of his head, second half was his best for us this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we're building a team to be genuinely competitive in the top half of the league he needs to improve immensely even if he's going to be a squad player. He shouldn't be starting, he should be the understudy to a genuine PL class striker. Said this before as well, think he would do a lot better with less pressure of being the number 9.

Numbers Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Why do people speak so highly of him, surely they must see something in training that we don't. Being a good Pro doesn't make you a good footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Texas Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Thought Joelinton did well for his goal. He got caught as he played the ball through to Almiron, and could have crumpled to the ground with the contact, but he rode the challenge, kept his feet and then sprinted into space for the goal. Loved it!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 You would expect to see flashes of talent for the money he cost but imo he hasn't shown anything even half decent so far. Hope he comes good and its just a confidence issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
