Some Newcastle United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Joelinton against Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at Anfield.
Joelinton was in action for Newcastle in their Premier League game against Liverpool on Thursday evening.
The Brazilian forward started the match in a midfield-five and played for the entire 90 minutes.
Joelinton impresses v Liverpool
And Newcastle fans were impressed by him, as you can see from the tweets below.
Well, some of them anyway.
Joelinton has been playing well for Newcastle under new manager Eddie Howe.
The 25-year-old is not being deployed as a striker, and that is certainly helping him.
We saw against Liverpool how hard Joelinton worked and tried to make things happen in attack.
By now we know that the forward is not a great goalscorer.
Well, at least not in the Premier League.
After all, Joelinton has scored only seven goals in 85 Premier League appearances for Newcastle so far in his career.
Against Liverpool on Thursday evening, the Brazilian played on the shoulder of the defence and was a problem on occasions for the Reds.
Joelinton had a pass accuracy of 63%, took 50 touches, attempted two dribbles, and made five tackles and one interception.
