Joe Willock

[Lush Vlad]

Link up out wide with Gordon was really good. Isak seems to enjoy playing with him. He found loads of space first half coming in more centrally and all. 
 

Oh and some of his passing was great second half. Never really been part of his game that stood out to me. But certainly has it in his locker to play balls wide and in behind. Spurs last season being the most obvious example. 

[Holloway]

He's come back very strong indeed, great to see him stroking it about

[Kanj]

Love him. 

[nufc123]

Got legs like no other in this team.

[wormy]

So bloody good to see this guy back. Makes such a difference to how we want to play. 

[Geordie Ahmed]

He was quality today, love the way he drives with the ball

 

Hopefully he can up to full fitness asap as we desperately need him for this run in 

[nemtizz]

Missed this fella ungodly amounts. Super unlucky not to score. 

[Conjo]

Was really impressed with his long passes today. Can't remember seeing him spraying the ball around quite like that before.

[CPL]

Things great about Willock 

 

* Speed

* Dribbling

* Passing

 

We have missed him massively this season! Please stay fit! 

[nemtizz]

He won’t truly be back until we see that knock on and burst of acceleration, mind. 

[Andy]

Makes a huge difference having someone in midfield who can drive with the ball. Really missed his athleticism. 

[STM]

He's also got better while out. 

 

What happened to that young lad who went missing in games. He was outstanding today. He's going to save our season, to a degree.

[gbandit]

What a player, extremely intelligent footballer

It's probably done his confidence the world of good seeing how much the midfield has missed him tbh, was playing today like he believed he was the missing piece 

[Nepharite]

Joe's game gave Bruno the space and confidence to spin his magic today. Such a difference when they play together.

[NSG]

The fella transforms our midfield. Get Tonali in for Longstaff next year and we’d be cooking on gas.

[pubteam]

Willocks positional play and awareness was excellent. He's a super intelligent player and reads the game so well, he seemed to lift the players around him and coordinated the press brilliantly. Excellent link up play with Gordon and it gives Bruno a lot more options to release those killers passes.

 

 

[Erikse]

Quite impressive for him to perform on this level after being out for pretty much the entire season, amd coming back just recently. Pleased for him.

[M1tche]

His running power adds so much, but then he also has the footballing ability and IQ that some many have that have graduated from the Arsenal academy have. 25mil seems a snip for him really

[Pilko]

Please stay fit. He's absolutely vital, no coincidence today that we looked so much more in control with him in there.

 

It helped that Bruno was class and Sean grew into the game and had a decent second half but his support of Burn defensively and quick release on the transition out to Gordon was superb today.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Gordon and Willock did a great job of helping down the left and limiting the damage that Neto could do.

[TRon]

A couple of raking through balls to set Isak away on goal, and his box to box presence makes such a difference.

[Guest]

Just having some legs in there to cover up ground made a huge difference. 

[Nobody]

We've missed him so fucking much this season man

[wiseman]

Easy to forget how good he was for us when he had been out so long, midfield looks so much more balanced with him in it
