TRon Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 With all the talk of Miley and Tonali it's easy to overlook how good Joelinton has been in the pre-season games. He's looked boss in the middle when he's been out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I'd say he's looked well off the pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 6 minutes ago, Rich said: Has he? Yeah I agree with you, he hasn’t quite got up to speed yet and it has shown in the pre season games so far, as he’s looked a little off the pace and quiet. Missing the Rangers game and his delay at getting over to America has him a little behind and it’s shown. He will be bang up to speed by the start of the season though.

Viana Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 He's not looked that sharp, but preseason is also meant for shaking the rust off. He was a big player for us last season, and I'm eager to see what Howe has planned for him this season. By signing Harvey Barnes we now have another right footed left winger that will make runs in behind, which could see Joey move inside permanently. Either way, bloke is a blessing.

andyc35i Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I love Big Joe, but I’m thinking that Willock would work better with a Bruno and Sandro midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 yeah, his first 45 minutes against Villa he gave away about 10 fouls and would’ve been sent off on a competitive game . Looked miles off. He will get back to it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not concerned at all obviously, but not sure what you've seen in him to think he's looked "boss"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d potentially be a bit lightweight with Little Joe added to the two would-be worldies. I mean they can both tackle, are aggressive and persistent enough, but Big Joe would add extra bite out of possession and enable them to pick out the exquisite creative passes, they are both capable of, in possession.

That's just part of the package you get with such a competitive and physical player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 He’s going to get booked just about every game he plays. Needs to stop shirt pulling. Looked good today but I really worry he’ll pick up early bookings and that’ll affect how he plays for the rest of the match. The whole side need to be very disciplined, you can absolutely guarantee that we’ll regularly be cited by all and sundry for shit housing and dark arts challenges.
