Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 MOTM by a distance today, I questioned whether or not he would stay consistent in that deep "destroyer" role and so far he's been superb. Bloke is a credit to us atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Surely he has to be making a Brazil squad? If Fred and Douglas Luiz can then surely Joelinton can? I honestly think given the talent they have, a Joelinton would be perfect foil for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like having a brick wall between you and the ball. They try and go around then he just goes the other way. He's lush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I don't know if it was @Flipbut I said in January that Joelinton would make the Brazil squad and got laughed at. Have we any other Brazilians on here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 His turnaround and transformation is really not talked about enough. He’s genuinely brilliant, what an incredible job him and Howe have done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Honestly fair play to him. He's basically peak Viera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Moment of the match was Colback trying to challenge him on 20 minutes and just falling over as Big Joe casually turned inside. EDIT: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001b11h/match-of-the-day-202223-06082022 32:00 it's very, very satisfying to watch.

David Edgar Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 He let one of their players cut inside from the right, which led to Schar needing to put in a block on Lingard, and I was genuinely amazed it had happened. It was so lazy from Big Joe compared to his new normal. Shows just how far he has come. Utterly dominant otherwise. Was a proper physical mismatch against those Forest midfielders.

Didn’t scout him as a midfielder though did he ? Certainly not in the role he plays for us. I wouldn’t sell him he’s too important but that would be around the asking price.

I'm dont think you can say he "let him". The ball was turned over quickly because ASM gave it away about 5 seconds before and Joelinton was out of position, still tried to win the ball back but just couldn't get his foot to it. Like you say it's incredible how obvious it is when someone now does manage to get past him because it's such a rarity. He's worth probably just over the £40m we paid now in this current market as a box to box destroyer. But his value to us is far more than that.

David Edgar Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Rafa said that he liked Joelinton but not as a £40m striker. Doesn't mean that Rafa would've used him as a CM. Probably had him in mind to play from the wing. Would've done a solid job there as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 He gets mentioned by opposing fans so much more often now, he's becoming so commanding now. Watching that surging run into the box yesterday, I do wonder if he practises his shooting enough, he had the time to comfortably bury that and he snatched at it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I don't know how to describe his style of play. He isn't just a hard nut DM, more like a box to box brute who can play as well his energy levels are insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Getting some love from the Villa fans too. People are starting to notice. Joelinton has been a revelation in midfield. Not sure Gerrard could have spotted that if in same boat https://www.villatalk.com/topic/22443-steven-gerrard/?do=findComment&comment=3860280 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
