Just as a follow up to the recent comments re his lateness and lack of effort, he stands out like a sore thumb in this video

he was lazy in the warm ups in the last training video.

so i paid extra attention to him prematch and he was awful in terms of effort or even doing the full basic stretches.

couldnt be arsed.

I think his top end speed has gone due to injuries but unfortunately that was the main strength he had. Without it he just looks a painfully average player. Hope  I'm wrong but it's telling how little he has played so far. 

[Lush Vlad]

I don’t think it has. He’s still shown he is rapid, whilst simultaneously looking slow at the same time. He has just rarely had a run in the side, we’ve outgrown him a bit as a player and we no longer have that hybrid position that he often played so well in.
 

I thought he was good against Spurs in comparison to some of his more recent showings. But his attitude seems to have been questioned by Howe, referenced by the players and the clips of him warming up don’t look great, do they? 
 

No surprise he is now our 6th choice CM and can only really play on the left.

Will be sold I imagine

Yeah, he's kind of fallen into the "not good enough to get in the team, but needs a run of games to get to the level where he might start to look good enough, but can't get them because he isn't good enough at his baseline" cycle, not dissimilar to the end of Longstaff's time here in that regard but obviously different context

I've always thought he also a painfully average player, he rarely has control of the ball.  When he's running with the ball it's like watching a rugby player kicking for touch

Not even on the bench tonight 

 

for Christ sakes 

[Dr.Spaceman]

Was looking forward to the match as well

[Ronaldo]

Been really, really good.

[TRC]

Showed he still has it athletically at the end there and should have an assist to his name

[Myleftboot]

Decent first half from him. He’s a good outlet.

[nufc123]

Best he has played in decades.

[The Butcher]

Him and Thiaw our best players.

 

Good on him.

[Kid Icarus]

Nice to have you back Joseph. 

[TRon]

Love seeing some of those afterburners kicking in again after a long time. 

[nemtizz]

Should be a massive confidence booster. Extremely valuable player when he’s playing like this. 

[Funtime Frankie]

Hopefully adds £5 million to his transfer fee when we sell him in either next 2 windows

[huss9]

Out motm

 

[The College Dropout]

Best he’s played in years. Good to have you back Mr. Willock 

[Newcastle Fan]

He looked better than Ramsey so why the fuck we spent 40m on the latter.

Because Willock will likely get injured soon he cant stay fit.

[duo]

His best game in a long while

That's a fair point but Ramsey is also injury prone.
