GeordieDazzler Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Honestly think that was the best pass I’ve seen since Kaka to Crespo in Istanbul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 50 minutes ago, Nobody said: Sure, it most likely was, but the Schär assist for Joelinton is absolutely sublime as well, as was his assist against West Ham. Willocks today is sexier due to the outside of the boot, but both the Schär ones take out so many players from a completely unexpected position and executed by a CB as well. I just think there's an argument to be made for Schärs incredible assists It's an argument, not a good one, but an argument. Scahr's was good, very good even, Willock's was sublime.

I said as it looked like getting to Isak "What a baal man" and kept pointing and saying it as Isak took it and scored. I think I must've said "What a baal" half a dozen times.

Kid Icarus Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Only a matter of time before he's in the England squad. If he adds goals, which we know he has in him, he's potentially a starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its better than the Cabaye ball. It’s the best NUFC assist I’ve ever seen. Not quite an assist but it reminded me of Enrique's pass to Lovenkrands v Blackburn in the 10/11 season. Maybe not remembered as well since it wasn't converted but it's the best pass I've seen from any NUFC player, not sure about video rules but can find it on YouTube searching 'Enrique Blackburn' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Eddie how has worked magic on this squad - I know Willock scored a few when he was on loan here but he is like a different player under Eddie - just becoming a complete midfielder. To have the vision for that pass nevermind the execution was something else. Edited April 23, 2023 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I hope I'm not going above my station here but when I see Joe, I see a bit of that Lampard/Gerrard type of midfielder, it's just hard not to. The intelligence to be in the right place at the right time. The fact that he's always making himself available, making runs and drifting into different positions depending on how the same is progressing. Genuinely think he can be a consistent 6-10 goal scoring midfielder one he hits 26-27. He's already done in once and I have no doubt he can do it again. 8 goal contributions in 30 games this season with seven games left to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 he was absolutely brilliant today, and that pass was spunktastic. such a lovely player to watch when he’s full of confidence and belief. long may it continue! he should be starting for England. but he won’t, because he plays for us and Gareth hasn’t got enough about him.

Mazzy Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 He's better than Gallagher, Mount and Philips. Surely gets into the next sqaud if he ends this season in the same form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Such a wonderful player, he works very hard and if he can keep producing these goals/assists then he will be playing at the top level for quite a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 He’s a better athlete than Mount. Better football IQ. Rice Bellingham Willock covers all bases for me with Joe the furthest forward. Sorry Jude but I see you as a 6 and not an 8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 If he can work on his shooting, especially on body shape to keep more of them down, it'll be him, Bellingham and Rice every game for England and that could take them the final step to winning something. On combined expected goals and assists, Willock's up to 0.5 a game. That's Phil Foden, Alexis MacAllister, and yes, James Maddison level. That's on top of covering the entire pitch like he does. He just needs to finish better and turn more of those xG into G. Everything else seems to be there, discipline and (now) consistency included.

54 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 The more I think about it, the more I'm wondering if that blib we had around the League Cup final was more down to Willock being injured then anything else, it's a hell of a coincidence that we put in our worst run of the season while he was out.

jackyboy Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 The way Southgate gets the England players performing wouldn't suit Joe's game. Too much square and backwards whereas Joe is at his best bombing forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
