Shame he couldn’t keep his head over the ball twice. The same can be said for Adama Traore in every game he's ever played Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmesy Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) According to whatever site i've just looked at, Willock has 2 goals and 2 assists this season, in a team challenging for Champions League places. Gordon has 3 goals and 0 assists in a team rooted to the bottom of the table. It's hardly chasm between them. All of Willock's stats are skewed by that one purple patch he had when he first joined the club. And if you take it purely on stats, you ignore all of the things he didn't do when he should've, like score two goals last night and bag an assist as well (the things you see with your eyes). Stats only explain part of the picture. If Willock added end product to his game, he'd finish every season with goals and stats in double figures. There's a reason he doesn't. I should add that I don't dislike Willock by the way, we just need better. We also have a guy sat on the bench who terrifies defenders and will get double figures if he's ever allowed to start.

joeyt Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Thought he did brilliantly for our second goal yesterday yet his passing was way off at times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 He was excellent at the outset then seemed to switch off at 2-0. It's all mentality with Willock, as he matures and if he keeps his burst of speed, he should only get better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 He always has some really nice touches every game. You can see how much confidence he has with his pace to best people on the wing now and he’s improving with his passing. I feel like he’s getting closer all the time to being a really good player. The only thing is whether he can stay focused and on it for the whole match game after game, he’s probably one of the less consistent members of the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Apart from that first fantastic shot I don’t think he did much to impose himself on the game. He looked rushed in the middle. Didn’t really seem to have a handle on what was around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawberry Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 The ever present best 11 is injured and no one seems worried about this. No matter what you lot think of him he is very important to what Howe wants to do. It is worrisome and to play the final with out our best player.

Away Toon Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Not sure he's in our best starting 11. Doesn't score doesn't assist. Won't be starting for too much longer along with another 5/6 of our first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
