Lush Vlad Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I think I'm in the minority. But I actually thought until the last 5 minutes of the first half, goal aside, he was really sloppy and wasteful. Something then clicked and he went into overdrive. Started ragdolling players, winning the ball back, driving forward, give and goes. Standard stuff from him, really. Second half, he was his usual self and back to being a T-1000.

KaKa Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) One of the best things about this transformation is how bad it continues to make Bruce look Edited April 6, 2023 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 His second goal was underrated really really good Defenders around him, on his weak foot and probably knackered after his first 90 mins for ages Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 This guy was outstanding in the second half alongside Bruno I thought, in pretty much every regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) Joelinton and Bruno should always be paired up, and Willock as the outlet, I get Longstaff is a grafter, but Joelinton in the middle makes us so much stronger. It seems like he can play every midfield position, but CM and interchange with Bruno dropping deeper to compliment each other, just works.

Yeah, in the previous games when ASM was injured, Joelinton played as the left winger and Willock played in midfield, as was the case in the 1st half today. But in the second half they switched, J7 was in midfield and Willock was the winger. That turned out much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 He's incredible in midfield, nothing gets past him and no one can take it off him, superb work for the goal too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I thought him moving to CM was what changed the game, was so good and feel like his best attributes get wasted at LW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. He was an absolute beast in CM. Him and Bruno bossed their midfield. Joelinton in particular was everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gate4 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Normally I want him in midfield but then again vs West Ham while good going forward (obviously) I thought he was bad and all over the place in his midfielder role. Good to see him back to playing great and actually helping Bruno today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) Just seen his goal. That footwork and ball control, where the fuck's he plucked that from? Hes come back even better yet again. Does he have some cheat code where he only needs the same xp for each level gain?

Stottie Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Great work from the big man, effectively scoring one goal (Harry Kane would claim it) and hitting the pass for the assist for the other. He's stepped up when we really need our players to do so. If anyone says anything about the first and "luck", Joelinton did a lot more to make it happen than Rashford did for the Botman OG that sealed the Carabao Cup final.

NE27 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 His composure for a big lad honestly shocks me everytime. First half he just didn't seem effective, but second half when he was brought into the middle to control that middle ground with Bruno was just immense. He's an absolute unit basically.
