Miercoles Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I was just thinking how fucking good this guy is, not even the goal just his movement and pace and everything, he's electric, and then fuuuuuuck. I don't even want to hear the prognosis at this point, it's just going to be another season of 6 weeks off 2 weeks on. Gutted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Third quickest goal in our history? Shearer v City around 10 seconds. Almiron v WBA around 20 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to .com, 2nd quickest in the PL era. Stats: We think that Willock's goal is the fastest ever by any Newcastle player in the League Cup and the fastest away from SJP in the Premier League era. It's also the second fastest by any Magpie in the Premier League era: Jan 2003 Manchester City (h) Alan Shearer 10 seconds Aug 2024 Nottingham Forest (a) Joe Willock 18 seconds Dec 2020 West Brom (h) Miguel Almiron 20 seconds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we need him to get fucking fittttt. Tonali, Bruno, Willock is the best three we can put out if everyone is fit (and sticking with 4-3-3).

ExiledGeordie Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Hopefully a minor muscle injury, need this lad fit though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Adds another dimension to the midfield, big believer that it should be either Tonali, or big Joe, otherwise the balance just isn’t right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Twice the footballer Big Joe is Can’t beat the internet for a big slice of hyperbole. I’m a fully paid up member of the Willock fan club, TBF. Need him fit as an option. More direct and pacey than any of our midfielders. Seems like his body isn’t holding up too well in this system, though.

KDT Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Looked more like an impact injury, my first thoughts (Dr. Nick Riviera School of Medicine) was that it was a dead leg, fingers crossed for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Didn't matter in the end but was it just me who thought he put the ball out for a corner on purpose so he could get treatment? And we didn't get the ball back Would have been furious with Forest had they scored from it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know who I’d rather the ball fall to on any given Saturday/Sunday. Not really. He was crap on Sunday and by all accounts not good last night. Little Joe had a great cameo against Bournemouth, comes back with a start and shows us what we’re missing and then everyone feels sorry for him with the injury. It’s the other way round. Different players for different games/scenarios. Also, I know it’s just a figure of speech ‘but twice the footballer’ is a laughably shit take and demeans all the good work Joelinton does for us. We forgotten Southampton already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild shout, I think people forget Joelinton did enough to get a call up to the Brazil national team, he was outstanding and he'll get back to that form, no doubts about it, he has shown it already v Southampton.

alexf Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 The fact he was still able to run around a little while he was testing it out is hopeful. I mean if you have torn your quad or something then I guess you wouldn't be able to even stand. Having said that, didn't Joelinton play on for awhile against Sunderland and then he was out like 3-4 months? Fingers crossed for Joe. He is a really important cog in our squad. Could see the heartbreak as he walked off, but hopefully that was just the fear of another injury rather than knowing it was definitely serious.

Turnbull2000 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Can't say I'm reassured. If his thigh muscle can almost pop after only a couple of sprints, his body isn't really cut out for the top level game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an impact injury, someone's hip crushed into his thigh, at the time it looked like a dead leg, so glad that's the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope that's all it was, looking at it at the time, I was convinced it was a dead leg but then Howe was saying yesterday that it wasn't looking too good. Even more important because while he was on he absolutely uplifted our game with his pace and running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
