The Newcastle United Class of 2022/23 – JoelintonHere at The Mag we have asked 20 of our regular / irregular contributors to pay tribute to the 20 Newcastle United players who started two or more Premier League matches this past 2022/23 season.This series of articles runs from Thursday 1 June to Tuesday 20 June with one player covered each day, each article appearing at noon.
Joelinton Cassio Apolinario de Lira. Known to you or I simply as Joelinton or, even more simply, Joey, Big Joe or Joe.He is the personification of our club’s journey. As we went from second bottom and no wins in our first 14 games to Champions League qualifiers in the space of a year and a half, Joelinton went from waste of money, no hoper to top class, internationally recognised fan favourite. From a nervous number 9 to a superb number 7.
The reason that I see this goal as such a big one is it shows how much confidence he now has in front of goal. When he was a striker, he would have never made that run in the first place. If he did, more likely than not he would have miscontrolled Schar’s incredible pass or he would have slipped over when trying to take it around the goalie. Everything about it was perfect though.
He’s good on the ball, gets stuck in and is looking more confident in front of goal than he ever has on Tyneside. He’s scored as many goals this season as he did in his first two seasons combined, much of which he spent upfront.His exuberance and willingness to throw himself about has meant he managed to rack up 12 yellow cards and 65 fouls last season. That led to him missing three games through suspension.
