I heard he made it to the upstairs toilet last week.

 

Then fell down the stairs coming back and broke every bone in his body.

He did make it upstairs but didn't quite make the toilet, poor bairn

Be class if he's fit for the season.

He was fucking mint in 22/23. Add so much to our play. Looking forward to the Big Joe Little Joe rotation and his wicked balls to Isak. 

[Lush Vlad]

Looked lively on the 30 seconds of highlights I saw  

[AyeDubbleYoo]

He was pretty good, would like him to start instead of Longstaff but either him or Joelinton would have to play right side.

Has some good moments but was still rusty. The issue we have is that without Bruno, we don’t have a midfielder with the technical ability to dictate the tempo.

That Ball for Isak with the outside of the boot, sublime.

He absolutely loves that move. Same against Spurs when we demolished them. 

 

A fit and firing Willock is such an asset to this team 

[TRon]

Pleasantly surprised to see him involved in pre-season tbh. For some reason I thought he was still about a month off being anywhere near playing.

Pre injury 2 seasons ago there wasn’t an English all action box to box midfielder in better form.

This. Shearer missed getting on for two seasons because of two injuries. People talk shite. Willock was central in keeping us up when he came on loan.

For those who think he's intrinsically injury prone. It's a big season for him to prove he's sorted out, but it's not like he's always been like this.

Tbf though, how often did he actually play at the top level for Arsenal? He's obviously going to avoid injuries if he's not playing as much.

 

However I really do hope he's just been unlucky and he isn't Wilson in midfield form.

Sure but we're still essentially talking about one shit season in a career, in a season where a suspiciously large number of his teammates went down and stayed down with reaggravated injuries too. Botman's record is going to look awful by Christmas too.

 

Just seems unfair to single out Willock as being cooked when we've got players like Targett around.

[arnonel]

All OK?

[Chris L]

Would imagine it’ll be controlling his involvement. Two games in 4 days etc. likely sit out this one and play one of the games over the seal cup weekend. 

[mattypnufc]

Yeah saw one of our local journalist saying it’s just managing his return. Nothing to worry about. 

[Superior Acuña]

Botman congratulating him on IG?? Personal maybe, thinking engagement. Thought new contract or something at first.

A fit Willock ( ) should be in the starting XI, period. I like him very much. Not quite as much as Freddie Ljungberg likes him, but very much.
