Sima Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Absolutely gutted for him, he’s been incredible this season. That left-sided partnership with Joelinton is unplayable at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I have to say he’s become the player I thought he’d be after we had him on loan but even more. The way he bosses around midfield with his pace and strength is really something. Brilliant player. More to come from him. Gutted he’s hurt, he ran himself ragged for the cause.

54 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) Was just looking at some of our players on FBref, and I didn't quite realize just how influential Willock had been this season: Edited May 28, 2023 by 54 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 He’s immense, one of my favourite players I’ve ever watched for us when running with the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 If he can find consistency in converting his finishing he will become a next level player. He has time and the right staff around him to do it. Could also see him ending up similar to Arsenal being replaced by someone that does and becoming a squad player. I'm rooting for option A though. He is so likeable and deserved his success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyeyzzon Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I feel he’d have been called up for England had he stayed fit till the end. Still only 23, his time will come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 He really should have had 6-8 more goals this season, so many good chances he has blazed over the bar, if he can work on his finishing then he will be class, already very good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 3 goals from 7xG this season which is just terrible . If he hits his xG next season we’re cooking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 His finishing is so erratic, TBF it's often on the end of some sort of lung-busting run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s become psychological for him. I remember a miss this season where afterwards Isak kind of came across to reassure him afterwards. The rest of his game is so full of confidence now but his finishing has prevented him from becoming top level so far. Hopefully next season he starts well and progresses from there. He looked majestic at times towards the end of the season and I really enjoyed watching him. Bulked up over the season as well. He kinda looks like a throwback to a mid-00s Brazilian flair player now. Edited June 6, 2023 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 It's scary to think about how good this season would've been if Willock and Longstaff were a bit more effective. Could add 2023 Almiron to that list, but he scored way above his xG before christmas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Just now, Erikse said: I'd say same goes to Almiron as of late. Need to be more calm when finishing. With Almiron his thing is confidence. He'll never strike a ball particularly cleanly consistently or become a composed finisher. But with confidence as we've seen, he can score goals. Same with Willock really. He needs a few to go in consecutively and then the confidence will flow in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Hope he has a fantastic pre season and comes out in full force. As soon as his finishing is consistent he will be world class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 He's in the top 2% for xG from midfielders, should have about 7 goals. Top 1% for expected assists + goals. Have to admit I was a sceptic but he has been amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
