AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I was worried that he was good under Bruce because he was given no tactics and no responsibility apart from to crash the box. But he’s really responded to Howe and he’s growing all the time. It’s going to be really hard to replace Willock or Joelinton with someone better.

Agreed and that’s why Eddie always talks about elite players that are better than what we have. At the very least, we need some better cover in the midfield 3 given that the only option is Anderson and he’s better out wide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Earlier in the season I’d have been all up for replacing him to be honest. Whilst it was clear he had ability, he didn’t look capable of getting the numbers he should be getting for someone who plays like he does. The last couple of months though… he looks like he might develop into something special. His assist last night has gone under the radar a little but it was incredible. He has much more to unlock as well, I think. Like first half he was barely involved at all, but he really stepped it up second half and helped make the difference.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Shame that touch and volley was tipped around. With the outside of the right boot assist on Sunday then a right footed volley just missing it's almost like Solano, but more athletic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Was superb again last night. The assist for big Joe was brilliant and unfortuantely overshadowed by Isak's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Lowkey quality game from him again today. Massive for the third and has been everywhere again. Got through a POWER (🏴) of running, as always. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Loves a second half this guy. Saves his energy and burns past players late on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Thought today was going to be the day for a goal. He really deserves one. The consistent finishing is the only thing holding him back from the next level and and England call. He might still get one. The rest of his game is just so smooth.

dave s Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 20 odd mill for this kid and he’s still only 23. Another cracking signing - but don’t think he’d be at this level here so fast without eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought the likes of Isak and Wilson were real standouts. Along with Bruno at times with his insane ability to control a football anywhere on the pitch. Or Big Joe doing his best Terminator impression. Willock doesn’t necessarily do loads of flashy stuff or have loads of wow moments. But he’s just everywhere and is relentless late on.

The Butcher Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Willock, Longstaff, Tripps, Wilson and Pope should all be in the next England squad. Even Burn and Murphy could be in with a shout, but I really doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
