Andy Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 He's stepped it up even more lately, he's looking a complete player. Wouldn't look out of place in most top teams at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I also think if he ever had any lingering resentment about having his position changed permanently, that's got to have totally gone from the back of his mind at this point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 He was brilliant tonight, was everywhere and just kept winning the ball. Nice that he got some attacking returns too. Was comfortably MOTM for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I mean maybe he's actually a goalkeeper and if he is put in goal he will be the greastest of all time... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I think he's my favourite player. His consistency and engine are out of this world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Superb today. If he could add an Almiron style run of end product to it over the next few months then we're laughing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Admittedly I’ve not been able to get to as many games since the takeover but tonight was up there as one as his best for for me, absolute destroyer mode but with product, thought he was fantastic all night.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I think he's at a third level increase since his dramatic turnaround last year. Since the WC he's been outrageous. Give me more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Still can't get over this guys continued brilliance. The level of sadness I felt for this guy under Bruce getting abuse while toiling upfront with everyone else deep in our box defending. I would watch over his Hoffenheim clips and see glimpses of the intimidating dominating player he now is every single time out for us, and it frustrated me no end, because I knew Bruce was culpable. My delight for him is immeasurable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Everywhere this one man wrecking crew, As mentioned above,if he can step up aspects of his forward play he can get to elite level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) He was immense tonight, maybe less outright defending but domination and real contribution in attack. Parabens Joelinton. Edited January 10, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Maximin Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Was he not playing as a wing-forward rather than midfield? Or rotating a bit with Willock? He played there a fair bit under Bruce and was his preferred role at Hoffenheim I believe. Either way the change is ridiculous whatever the position. Crazy how easy he makes physically dominating other players and winning the ball cleanly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Just can’t even grasp how fucking good he is. He literally can blanket an entire 1/3 or 1/2 of a pitch with the amount of grass he covers and his work rate and engine are superb. He interchanges with Willock throughout the match, his close control, one touch passing, pressing and counter pressing are just unreal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interchanges between him and Willock were incredible to watch. Leicester just didn't know how to deal with it. Bruno probably the best player on the pitch for me as he just totally controlled the game but Willock/Joelinton were a joy to watch. And you're right, the amount of ground they can cover is unbelieveable. Just pure athletes. Edited January 11, 2023 by Wallsendmag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone see Watford today? Joelinton should be playing the role they played Doucoure in, deep 9 or 10 harrying the midfielders/cbs of the other team. ASM & Almiron should be playing high and a bit narrower like the Liverpool front 3 to be able to break effectively when we win it. We need to press higher and more aggressively to get our attackers in better areas. It's so fucking obvious. That, however, would require Bruce to stop picking the worst ball playing CBS and work out how to get the best from Longstaff again, which is impossible. Being wired from the match and having nowt to do on my lunch break, I started reading some of the old Joelinton comments. This one is a peach - how unnervingly perceptive is this? As in every line of it. I'm convinced Howe must have used this in his famous interview presentation Edited January 11, 2023 by TheBrownBottle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 He's been brilliant but i must admit at some point yesterday i was thinking i'd rather have him in midfield rather than a more attacking position considering his usual end product, but fair play for him for the assist and the goal, he has everything except that final third output so if he can repeat what he did yesterday he'll be playing for the Brazilian team very soon.

adamjk007 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) What a player this lad has turned out to be, just shows the scouting was correct he just needed the coaching. Brucey set the poor lad back but now he's showing what he can do, number 1 on the teamsheet for me these days. Beast!

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Human dynamo. He's been incredible off the ball since the move deeper but sometimes patchy on it. Seems to have really found a groove to help open up spaces more by using his body and skill. He does some absolutely fantastic turns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Such a great finish. Had a feeling he would score today, based on fuck all. Hope he can continue adding goals to his game, he's just incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
