Smal Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Every time I watch him I’m still waiting for the mask to slip and him to go back to being shit but it just doesn’t happen. He’s brilliant and every bit a £40m midfielder. Edited August 6, 2022 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubteam Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) He protects the defence , drives the ball forward and his passing and crossing have moved up another level. Joe must be one of Eddie's biggest achievements so far, turned a below average player into a world beater. Edited August 6, 2022 by pubteam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 He is so good at head up defending too, he wins the ball and starts the attack in one motion. Such good reading of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) That run in the first half past two players would have been beautiful goal if he scored it. Overall thought he was a beast in the middle. Always fighting for it, breaking things up and keeping possession going. His transformation is still incredible to think about.

Astroblack Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 He relishes a challenge. So great to see. Assist for Callum's goal. A big part of the reason we were able to dispossess them over and over again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 If he improves his finishing he will play for Brazil. On this form he likely will anyway. Absolute destroyer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 How I wish he didn't scuff that shot wide after his run through. Would've been proof that he can do it all. He is, in alot of ways the walking embodiment of how this club has changed in the last calendar year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Quite ironic that we signed him as a striker and gave him the number 9, because this guy can do everything except score Edited August 6, 2022 by Newcastle Fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Just now, Newcastle Fan said: I was meaning in general terms but that's bad timing on my part He has a knack for playing people in and it will be proven this season with a number of assists, now we actually have an idea of what we're doing as a team going forward. Think he'll chip in with a few goals too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to double up on him at times and that gave Guimaraes time and space to pick passes out. We need a Joelinton type CM badly, especially if we're gonna play with 2 centre mids. Validation from opposing fans is strangely very satisfying Can you imagine a year ago a post like this from our opponents, they want a Joelinton-type player?!

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Not going to lie, coming in to this season I was scared he might not be able to recreate his form of last season. That it might have been a hot streak given all that was happening at the time. Not like we're used to good things happening. But he just walked in and did it again. Maybe even a little better given its the first game of the season. If he could strike the ball cleaner he'd be phenomenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had similar worry kinda but remember we have actual coach now who may try and teach players and help them understand tactical roles not just throw them on randomly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Is there a total distance covered stat website anywhere? Feels like he covers so much ground. He really reminds me of Moussa Dembele, formerly of Spurs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I think the Dembele similarity has been mentioned a couple of times on here now and it’s definitely a fair comparison. He was an outstanding player for Spurs and so frustrating to watch us come up against him and lose the ball time and time again. It’s incredible how good Joelinton is, my favourite player. Hope he’s here for years to come Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
