At the end of the 2019 season he looked like prime Michael Carrick If we had taken the money from Manchester he’d become the next Carrick, now he is on the way to become the next Jamie McClen.

He is rubbish, absolute crap Yep but he was an ever present last season and if Brucey is told to make him an ever present this season,then he will be.

Carl 175 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Joelintons one redeeming feature last season was that he always tried, apparently last night he didnt even look bothered, Bruce needs to cut his losses and bring in a replacement Troy from Watford would probably do.

trooper 940 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Bruce... "Joe has always, always worked his socks off, and given the club the best he can. He’s got to dust himself down and get on with the challenge in front of him. He’s big enough to take it. He had a frustrating night, it’s far to say. But he’ll keep working away, and I’m sure he’ll be Ok" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30239 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 If he had always worked his socks off he would get some credit but if he makes a poor start, which he usually dies, then he tends to go hiding. Anyone with a scrap of football knowledge can see the lack of application and heart so who the fuck does Bruce think he’s kidding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I've been a bit more supportive of Joelinton, but when he puts in performances like last night, he doesn't help himself. Part of me understands it, he's low in confidence, playing in a role he's not suited to, again. Most of the blame lies with the manager and the recruitment team, but he shoulders plenty himself. Reminds me of Luque. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19735 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 weirdest transfer ever. when the news broke we were paying £40m for a striker it piqued interest. we all checked his youtube highlights and goals record, which clubs he has played for, and wondered what they scouts saw that wasn't obvious to the rest of us to justify such a massive price tag. we're still wondering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Whilst you can’t defend Joelinton it has to be said that our midfield was completely incapable of holding on to the ball or doing anything with it. Wilson would undoubtedly hold the ball better than Joelinton and allow others to get closer to him, but if we ever have to play those two in the middle of the park in the premier league we’ll get tortured. If we’re going to ever get anything out of him then we’re going have to give him more to work with also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Don’t laugh but the makems signed the wrong Nunez.Have we signed the wrong Joelinton? At least Fumaca won the odd header with his second touch.I don’t see anything average in Big Joe’s game,never mind good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I don’t get this defence of Big Joe.He’s been shit from day one and he hasn’t improved .He’s so far off the pace I’ve yet to seen him tackled.I’d rather see Billy Rafferty come out of retirement.

Alex 30239 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 He used to do that double or triple step over trick that Denilson used to do. Only the latter did it about four times quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Don’t think there is any defence of him. He certainly looks no better than Rivière but at the price we’ve allegedly paid for him it’s understandable that people want to see him improve and assume that at some point people were seeing an exciting young player in him. I’m lost as to what that was though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a basic lack of ability at the level he's being asked to play at rather than a lack of application or heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30239 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I was just pointing out Bruce was talking shite when he claimed the lad’s a grafter. And he’s the one who has kept picking him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
