Joe Willock

[Pixelphish]

I've watched it an unhealthy amount this morning.

[Gallowgate Toon]

I'm still in absolute awe of that pass, like. It's a work of art.

[Tiresias]

If he can start producing a passing range like that week in week out what a player we have

[kocunar]

Definitely better than Connor Gallagher right now, should be getting a call-up.

[huss9]

he really put everything into that game.

he was absolutely fucked by the time we had made all our subs.

looked like he could barely walk at times but was still trying hard as fuck.

[relámpago blanco]

Still cant get over that assist.  I've never seen anything like it.

[Adam]

Two favourite moments of the season down the this legend. 

 

His worldie finish Vs Chelsea and this balon d'Or level pass. What a lad

[timeEd32]

I was so frustrated with him at one point earlier in the season, but he’s becoming one of my favorites. 
 

That was is one of the best things I’ve ever seen a Newcastle player do.

[The Prophet]

He just gets better and better, give him another season or two under Howe and he'll be class.

[Kid Icarus]

@HollowayStill think he's overrated or underrated?

[magvicar]

Willock has come on leaps and bounds under Eddie Howe and co and he's still only 23 years old and starting to show why he was bought. He's becoming a better version of a team player each time he puts on a Newcastle shirt.

 

The lad's been class this season and would look even better if it wasn't for a number of other players who have also been class.

The only thing stopping Joe Willock from getting the player of the match was the absolute immense display of Joelinton, imo.

 

It says a lot about this team when two players who score two goals each aren't nominated ahead, such is the overall quality coming to the fore by a lot of players.

Did not think he had the ability to do that. The technique was ridiuculous, but the fact ti was first time, in his own half is mental.

Him and Schar are criminally underrated by the general public.

Neither fit the general narrative of money being the reason for the turnaround, as both play in a position that has seen a £30m+ signing come in. 

[Kanji]

It’s so redic the bias towards the favorites in England’s setup. 

[Interpolic]

Absolutely loved that pass, it never gets old watching it. The vision and the execution were superb. 

 

We should do some polls at the end of the season - best win, best goal, best assist etc. Best meme as well, all the nominations doubtless being Meme Machine Murphy. 

[Kid Icarus]

I think it's only a matter of time now tbh. Southgate has his favourites and doesn't come to Newcastle enough, but I think with Jones, Ashcroft, Trippier, and Wilson here, Willock's brilliant form and the alternative's non-existent form, he'll be impossible to ignore.

I've just been thinking about this. 

 

I definitely think there needs to be a separation between favourite player of the season as well as a best player of the season as well. e.g. I can't say Willock's been our best player this season, but he's definitely been my favourite.

[Smal]

I would be picking Longstaff ahead of Henderson and Gallagher right now as well

Theyll both be in the England squad next year as well be a CL side.

Actually seen glimpses of outrageous skill all season tbh, it's one of the reasons I was never that critical, even when he's been missing chances. At least once a game he will do something jaw-droppingly good, whether it's a reverse pass, dummy or just an absolute pearler of a ball like yesterday. It doesn't always come off, but Howe is clearly encouraging him to express himself and he's not far off becoming an outstanding talent. What Howe has drilled into him is incredible work rate which means he's an asset even when he's not making every pass or shot.

Ashworth, mate.

I'll give you that one,you called it early. I've always recognised his qualities,but did think he was prone to switching off too often when it may have been just the style he has.He's becoming top drawer,and if he can bring a bit more composure to his finishing what a player we have on our hamds

I'm not sure I ever said it on here but I've described him in the past as a "nothing player" - he didn't create, he didn't tackle, he didn't run, once the goals dried up in the second season he didn't score either. He didn't seem to have any particular role to play.

 

Thankfully he (& Eddie) have made me look a proper chump.

"Let's play" didn't work for him

I do that constantly. It's all Dan Ashcroft's fault
