NWMag Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I think like most others he is getting better, in terms of goals/assists I think it will come, he still seems to take the safe option some times which I think we will see less of as his confidence continues to grow. If he stays fit then il be happy, it’s nice to have more players comfortable in possession and I can see him getting goals from crashing the box eventually.

joeyt Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Last two games he's been good for us, more of the same please. Keeps the ball well and good decisions Also think Joelinton on the other side has looked back to being close to his best. On current form Tonali is the one who's really struggling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes definitely looking better I agree and more confident. Could really do with a goal then I think we’ll really see him push on in an attacking sense. I’d like to see him driving at a defence more.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 In a way he’s approached his introduction to the squad well. Played it quite safe, been neat, avoided any disasters or harsh criticism. Eased himself in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Don't understand why he wasn't introduced today, thought it was made to measure for his passing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 1 minute ago, Pilko said: Don't understand why he wasn't introduced today, thought it was made to measure for his passing. Agreed. We were working the ball quite well a lot of the time in midfield. Would have been perfect with the way he pops up in space. Baffling that he didn’t even get 10-15 mins in place of Joelinton. Especially as we are now back to running Big Joe into the ground. He also had large spells of that game where it was like he wasn’t on the pitch. Wasn’t his game at all. Even though I don’t think he played badly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 It's probably because Joelinton is tall and Howe refuses to bring him off unless Burn is playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Expecting to see him getting a start and some good game time tonight given recent performances and him being rested at the weekend. Could be a big game for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 He's done enough in his last couple of appearances to deserve more starts tbh. Looked very bright and incisive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Looking fitter, stronger and more confident in his surroundings. Hopefully his minutes will drastically increase with Bruno likely to be out for a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Said a while ago he’s been much of a muchness so far. And he continues to ghost through games still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 He makes good forward passes through the lines but when you've got wingers that have chalk on their boots constantly and the two most static strikers in the league, he'll never manage to show it to good effect. Looks about the only one other than Bruno who'll create anything and yet only enters the pitch in an emergency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 With Wissa, Elanga, and Woltemade, I can see circumstances where they can contribute and influence games. But with Ramsey I really don’t see the point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 He's the modern nothingy forward. We (nationally) made these technical lads without the roles to play them in. They end up not using their skills and just recycle the ball all day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 He started off brightly when he came on and played one good through ball to Wissa (who did nowt with it) but otherwise never really imposed himself on the game. I thought there were worse performers today tbh but I'm still not seeing it with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guillaume Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Villa certainly didn't miss him today, must be laughing at us in particular giving them £40m for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Was good for the first 15 minutes he was on, but then just disappeared. still think he will come good for us but needs to happen sooner rather than later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 With Joelinton done again, he has to play for next several games. Don’t think he’s amazing, but he’s a good player we can get use out of before he breaks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc123 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Is tidy and good on the ball, but faded fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 can't see much more than tidy recycling so far, but he's getting better at it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
