    Big Andy

    Only saw 3 mins of highlights against Shef Utd as I was at work.

    I gather it was another shocking performance(good result), but how did he do as a starter?

    Anything like his old self? Obviously he was isolated which has been a problem for big Joe, but he actually is a target man...

    Still a bit of a pointless all be it no lose signing?

    Uses up wages and a squad number imo

    I think he was a more effective option for the way Bruce plays. He made some excellent defensive headers, helped the midfield out by working hard and harrying them...plus he laid the ball on for Shelvey.

    I'm not saying we've wasted £40 million on Joelinton...but we've wasted £40 million on Joelinton.

    I actually don't think Joelinton is a bad player, but...he's not suited to the lone striker role...he's not suited to our style of play...and no, he's not worth anywhere near that much...

    If only someone knowledgeable in football had pointed that out to the club...

    And I thought he had a hand in Maxy's goal as well. Isolated as is Joe and tired easily so best as a super sub in my opinion.

    We are not missing anyone that could take his place though...

    If Joelinton was the striker we needed...then as a pay as you play back up, I don't see a problem...

    If he becomes our main striker then there is a big problem..

    It's not his fault Joelinton isn't working..
