toontownman Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Aye. Thought it was the balls timing that stumped him. Watching it back, no, it was just the header that was balls. Should have done a bit better there but a hell of a performance again. Especially after switching to the new formation with him as a 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Easily proved hes worth the fee we paid since Howe came in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 He's been really good lately, like a few others he's been transformed under Howe. Whilst he isn't scoring as much as he was in comparison to that end of season run he went on he's actually playing much better and getting involved in the game He kept nicking the ball off them and then that block at the end, superb.

Lush Vlad Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Started slowly and he infuriates me how sloppy he is with the ball at times. Miscues simple passes and wasted some promising positions. But the more the game was stretched and the longer it went. The more it suited him. He has that canny knack of getting a toe on the ball when seemingly second favourite. Deceptively fast, but good with the tempo of his runs. Like he’ll slow it down ever so slightly to draw the tackle and then he accelerates and is usually off and away or he gets fouled. Some engine on him. He spent most of that second half off of Wood for knock downs. Yet somehow comes up with a block 8 yards out in the 90th minute. How the fuck did he get there?! Must have teleported. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 He’s deceptively good at nipping the ball away from the opposition and playing it into space. As his block showed yesterday as well, he reads the play very well. I hadn’t realised there was as much of a defensive side to his game until recently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anybody else in our squad could close down the defenders as effectively with the exception of Joelinton maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just be a bug passed on by ASM as he's close to Willock also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Sometimes forget he's only 22. There's always going to be consistency issues for that reason but he offers us a lot as a midfield 8. Would love to see him have a big game on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 He did a great job when he came on both in helping us keep our shape and that wonderful run for the goal, well done to him and he's been a different player second half of this season.

WillingtonMag Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Could he not play in a front 3? Want him in the team but think the midfield is best with Bruno, Shelvey and Joe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
