Fantail Breeze Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Still not sure if this is just a purple patch, but fucking hell he’s playing well. Hope he keeps it up. He’s sort of my favourite player now, he has quite a smile on him. Not quite Papiss levels of grin, but it’s still nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Can’t believe someone said he was poor tactically. The way he has been playing in midfield but covering the bulk of what would usually be ASM’s defensive work as well takes an extremely tactically adept player.

AJ9 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 He’s fucking class. If he could kick a ball straight he’d be a world beater. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 6 hours ago, Hanshithispantz said: How many players are there as physically dominant in midfield that are also spraying the ball about like a prime Busquets like? Joelinton's touch is weird, he's generaly very clunky on the ball but still more often than not manages to get it where he wants, he's a lot like Jonas in that regard. I think his first touch is often very intelligent. It often looks heavy, but more often than not it is into a space where he can pick it up again quite quickly. Could just be lucky [every time] but I think his reading of the game is impeccable so I trust it is his intelligence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) He must be horrible to play against, constantly getting nicks and small touches which takes the ball off of your toe. Love him. His turnaround starting from Howe's first game in charge is no coincidence. So many of our players just needed a coach to recognise their strengths, weakness and to improve the latter and solidify the former.

Exactly this, throughout the second half he was having to play as two men with ASM having one of his breaks, he was as important as anyone in the victory and was always aware of the danger down the left.

Mountain Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 He's one of my favourites, he's been incredible. I've never seen such a change, a big lump target man who looked useless. Now he's an energetic box to box CM who is constantly winning the ball back. Bizarre stuff, Newcastle for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 in beast mode but where's the radge come from though. he used to hide, and get knocked over easily. manu away was hidieous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Cause he's got his confidence that's why. You cannot underestimate the job Eddie Howe has done psychologically on this team, Joelinton in particular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Put him anywhere on the park apart from striker. He’s fast becoming one of my favourite NUFC players of all time. If he stays with us and continues to develop through his 20s he’s going to be a genuine hero Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillingtonMag Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 He's immense and I'm convinced his failings in the box is just a mental block, if he gets an easy goal or two and builds enough confidence to become better infront of goal we'll be laughing.

If he can work it out in the final 3rd and become even decently effective there he will be more than the £40m worth of player that we bought.

Lush Vlad Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Just watched that. Mental! How is this the same bloke? Testament to how good he has become. That I didn’t even notice this like I did for the Man U game and a few others. It’s like this is the benchmark every week and I’ve just come to expect it of him already and he keeps delivering.

hakka Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Someone put some stats up on twitter showing him as something like the 7th best defensive midfielder this season, which is mental given he only got put there a few months ago by Howe!
