Hope it's not one of those injuries which sees him sold before "early September" I think his contribution was fairly underrated last season, he's consistently improved since he signed and was instrumental in a lot of games last season with his endeavour to get forward into the box. Been a great signing so far. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the competition for places will spur him on and he’ll be a really important player for us this season again. Especially in four tournaments with the five sub rule 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeAdmirer 1286 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Nice to see him back. Not to long before we finally get to see Longstaff and Willock start a CL match together 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler 10380 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Seemed to be heading for an England call up before his hamstring went. Be great to see him get back to that form and leave us all annoyed in the summer when Southgate takes Henderson. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 20802 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 G-Dogg said it last night how fresh and good he looked. I would have thought he needed a couple of games to get up to speed but he was right on it yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamTaylor5 946 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I thought he was unlucky not to get man of the match yesterday. I cannot argue against Tino getting it but I thought Willock looked really good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1261 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 We've missed a ball carrier. Joelinton is capable of doing so but Willocks game is all about marauding forward causing problems for the opposition. In my opinion, at the moment Willock being fit is more important than Tonali being available. That may change next year but for little Joe, being fit again is a massive plus for us. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4222 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 All that's true enough although we never got to see the best of a settled in Tonali. He's got the attributes to be an absolute superstar and has Eddie Howe coaching him. Real shame the ban, but fingers crossed for next season. Willock seemed to have a very good understanding with Isak last season, can't wait to see them back fully fit, with Joe looking back to his best too that's a very tasty left side. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7182 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) Fucked his achilles again. Given we will likely get cover in for Tonali next month (and have him back next season), have Miley looking the business, and Joe/Bruno/Longy probably our first choice CMs, he must worry he's going to be surplus to requirements before long.

Gemmill 46089 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I think he's fucking class and he can do something none of the rest of our midfield does - carrying the ball at pace. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamTaylor5 946 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 That is such a shame to read. I think he offers us the ability to pick the ball up on the half way line and drag the whole team to the edge of the 16 yard box. I am really hoping that we can help him recover. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7182 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Forgot to add Elliot Anderson in the mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35615 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I really like him as a player but the injuries are a big concern. Like others have said it would be a real shame as he offers something different 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1261 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Everything I've read from Joe regarding his place here and how he wants to develop speaks of a guy with a level of enlightenment that a lot of other young footballers would do well to follow. Hopefully this will just be a minor set back because he's an asset to us when he's fit and deserves his place in the team. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMXXVIII 1295 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Judging by our dressing room photo I don't think his injury is that bad, but even if so he's 2 years younger than Bruno; time is on his side and, as others have said, he's very different to the others in our squad.

wykikitoon 20802 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I think he's mint. He's got a superb attitude. I think dude to the injury crisis he's probably played a lot more than Howe would have liked. I still think he's got a massive massive role to play at this club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they make it smaller? We all know SJP is a small pitch but I don't think they'd get away with making the 18 yard box that much smaller. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 22185 Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 massive player for us and a big reason we finished 4th. he bring something completely different to the rest of our midfielders - his energy, running and that ability to progress the ball and drag us up the pitch is huge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
