Mate, I haven’t seen a second of it. I trust our Dougie, that’s all from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 22, 2023 Moderator Share Posted November 22, 2023 Joelinton might be getting a bit of a tough deal here for spoiling Brazils style - he was only on for nine minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s harsh. But probably true as well, Joelinton is just a Brazilian James Tarkowski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie is the exact midfielder that Diniz should want. A player that can control the tempo, know when to recycle or go direct. Yet they have Bruno and Joelinton playing like they’re still at Newcastle, launching switches with abandon. Sounds Harry Maguire-esque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 11 minutes ago, villan-scott said: Nice stats. Particularly impressive considering the two players that are above him are only narrowly so, and goal contributions are the big part of their game whereas Luiz offers us so much more.

Keyblade Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Was hoping he'd get a cheap yellow at the end for dissent or something. We can't afford him missing the City or Arsenal games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW7494 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 The ball today from the free kick & his assist for watkins against alkmaar were both on a de bruyne level. Phenomenal footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 To think all those years wasted on him as a holding 6 and then benched under the fraud. For once, a stroke of luck we managed to re-sign him when it would’ve been easier to sell him for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably worked out brilliantly for us as if he'd have shown this form before he signed that contract, he probably would've been a hotter property and he may not have signed it.

MrBlack Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, villan-scott said: Nice stats. As @Davkaus said, what makes it so much more impressive is that if you look at his other stats as well, I'm pretty sure 95% of them would be levels above either of them. Successful dribbles probably the only stat they'd beat him on. Edited November 26, 2023 by MrBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 He can do it all. In open play he can be Bernado Silva, he can do a De Bruyne impression from free kicks. If we get a penalty then he turns into prime El Ghazi, . If we get a corner he can do an Ashley Young. The best impressionist on the planet.

Not saying we couldn't win without them as Bournemouth are poor but I wouldn't feel comfortable going into that with neither. We just need to manage him properly in the Bournemouth game.
