Joe Willock

[Jordan]

A full speed Willock is the player that gives us the balance in midfield, not Longstaff.

This guy is an enigma. Can go from prime Peter Beardsley to 35 year old Jack Colback week to week. Fucks knows how to fit him into the team!

He’s always been prone to untidiness at times, one of the reasons I questioned if he’s really a CM. When things aren’t going right he can look a mess. 
 

TBH I ultimately think we need a new 3rd midfielder (maybe Miley) to go with Bruno and Tonali.

He’s a no.10, ultimately.

But he isn't technically good enough to be a high level no 10

 

Though, he does possess qualities which make him an asset for us. Though he was poor today, he does offer a lot when he plays that LCM role

 

I'd love for us to sign a proper no 10, like a Maddison, Odegaard or Paqueta, someone who is technically of a high level

Me too, but it’ll never happen.

Doesn’t look like a ‘10’ to me.  He’s an old fashioned attacking midfielder - and a good one at that.  Shame he’s made out of cobwebs.

It probably requires a new manager and a lot of turnover in the squad. We've recruited for Eddie's 433 and have a squad full of 8's. Not a 10 or 6 to be found.

[KingArthur]

The problem yesterday for him was that it was very physical game and Wan Bissaka at RB is great defender 1v1. Never really got going.

We have one who can do that for us, Bruno.

 

Just then need to sign a more rounded defensive CM who can provide balance alongside a Tonali / Joelinton.

Any word on his injury? Not on Twitter any more and fuck watching/reading match reports and comments from Howe after that  

[duo]

His lightening pace was missing yesterday- always second to the ball

Get yourself on Bluesky. Nice little NUFC community growing there.
