He's probably been our best midfielder over the last couple months, one swallow doesn't make a summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 He started the first goal by showing a bit of bravery on the ball. Demanded it deep in our half under pressure, took 2-3 players out the game when he turned inside and got us rolling. Whatever the fuck was he doing for their last goal, though?! he’s not even looked. There’s being a risk taker in possession and there is being stupid I thought he was one of our better players first half. I’m only judging the first half. The second is null and void Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 If there was ever a moment which summed up one of the biggest head losses I've seen from a Newcastle team in years and years, it was that. Absolutely ludicrous mistake and I'm happy to believe it was no true reflection of the player. Our worst midfielders ever never just played it across the box to an unmarked attacker. Just a mad moment; hopefully he forgets it immediately because he's been cracking recently and was really good last night before the whole team received their half-time teamtalk from the brain sucking alien from Starship Troopers.

If was one of those decisions that stood out in the starting lineup for me straight away. He was one of our best players in recent weeks then benched for some reason.

SiLvOR Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Even stranger considering he would have been available for the whole international break for training/tactics (barring any holidays taken etc). Hopefully gets to stay in the side the rest of the season now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our football improved immediately just because he could evade tackles and carry the ball forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love Joelinton, this summer might be the time to move him on. I guess we can’t be losing both him and Tonali, but we need a different profile in our midfield to move the playing style forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I did think not starting him was odd. He's shown with Bruno out that he can be a really handy mover of the ball for us. In his post-match, Howe even said Palace like to sit deep so surely having a midfielder who can be more flexible would've made sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead he was given a new contract; he’ll be 30 before the start of next season and I can’t see many clubs out there paying him what we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 3 hours ago, nemtizz said: Jo is far more valuable than the emo cunt. I agree. Joelinton does so much for us. Just yesterday he was covering for Hall at LB when he went on a run that ended up at RW and dropped into CB twice when Thiaw and Botman were pressing high.

Ashworth was right when he wanted him moved on like as he was a sell-able asset who at the time had high value. Now he will be here for the foreseeable and gradually getting worse and worse. We really do hold onto players far too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also we need conviction from management. If we did sell him that summer. Would we have put Anderson I his place? I’m not so sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 We should definitely look to move players on at the right time apart from Bruno. He could be 36 and the kinder eggs have caught up to him and I’ll still give him a pass for losing his runner in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
