Ben Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 1 minute ago, Lush Vlad said: Totally transformed as a player and seemingly as a character, as well. He seemed really timid early in his career here. Now he is trying to fight everyone. Gives a foul away every ten minutes and looks absolutely disgusted with every refereeing decision that doesn’t go his way Machine. Apparently his character has never changed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising when you think of the state of the club when he first signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Feel like he's still not able to get the plaudits he rightfully deserves purely because how amazing we've been but what an absolutely dynamite player he's been for us this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gonna end up on double figures for goals too, which is a great achievement given that he's probably played less than half the time as an outright attacker.

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I'd say he's player of the season at this point. He's been 7/10 pretty much every week across multiple positions. We have more important players in lots of ways but Joelinton sums up Howe's Newcastle perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) I always thought he'd come good and that there was a good footballer in there, but fuck me. Howe's transformation of him early last year was vindication and his continued improvement in that role was amazing. Then he was trusted further forward again and utilised LW more and he was decent. Thoughts of 'yeah he can do a job there but he wont be first choice', then he just continued to improve there as well. Then he'd be asked to play in a midfield 3 again, and he was better again. Then him and Willock developed this fluid left hand side and he was even betterer. Then he started to stick passes and now he's got a silky touch and can finish on demand. 15 months, man. I fucking love him. Edited April 27, 2023 by Super Duper Branko Strupar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't get an assist for our first against Spurs either. He forces a save and Murphy buries the rebound. Does anyone know if that's an assist in ice hockey? Lots of goals in that sport from rebounds. Football has stats for "big chances" and "key passes", so it must be capable of doing nuanced judgements, just not for assists. With assists being an oft-quoted, high-profile stat, its poor and only encourages folk to think stats are bollocks (they are not). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 That Schar to Joelinton switch over the top has got teams absolutely flummoxed at the moment. With most of our build-up play this season coming down the right, they're just not thinking about it, and then it happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
