Got told a story last year about Joe walking with his lass pushing the pushchair with his new baby. A van full  of scaffolders pulls up beside him and starts shouting dogs abuse about how shit he is and how he should fuck off back to where he came from. With him not speaking good English he had to ask his lass who does speak English what they were saying. Bad craic. That story came from dummetts brother who a good mate plays golf with.

Not hard to believe tbh, you could probably read back through most of the pages of this thread to understand how that might have happened.

His first 6 months in English football he was up front, on his own, and we'd send the ball up to him as if he was a Chris Wood type. Think it's fair to say that absolutely shot his confidence and gave him his worst chance of succeeding. Terrible management.

His fault or fat Bruce’s fault?

Look at how Big Jo and Lewis have changed in the few games we've had. Aye, you can say Lewis should be adapted to English football blah blah, but Bruce sold them up the river. 

 

Joelinton has looked a different player because someone has come in and realised both where he operates best, and how he can impact the game. It's no different to Mo Diame dropping 10 yards and becoming the lanky Kante. 

 

It's easy for us to give him pelters, but when you've played for a team in Hoffenheim that knew exactly where to slot you in and then are thrown to the wolves playing as a 9 in a shit long ball team, I get why he was frustrated, and that's before trying to adapt to a new culture, at a team that dominates the city you're in. 

 

And do you think he got an ounce of personal coaching from Bruce and his goblins? They couldn't be arsed to do any team training let alone stuff outside of their 'remit'.  

 

I don't know or care if he'll ever be worth £40m, but cases like him are why people like Steve Bruce are finished in this game.

Very impressed by his absolutely crazy workrate since Howe joined, he's been all over the pitch busting a gut to help out in any way. Improved his hold up play, passing, tackling and awareness - it's just nice to see him make good progress.

 

We all want him to do well, so fingers crossed he can nab a goal soon as he completely deserves a few
