Steve Bruce deserves credit for the transformation of Joelinton, talkSPORT told NUFC
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has been hailed for taking Joelinton’s game to new levels – but predecessor Steve Bruce deserves some credit.
This is the view of former Magpies forward Kieron Dyer, who claimed that Bruce started the Brazilian in a deeper role before Eddie Howe came in.And while Howe has done a stellar job with improving Joelinton, Dyer believes Bruce deserves some credit Dyer told talkSPORT: “Newcastle fans won’t like me for saying it, but to be fair to Bruce, he did start playing Joelinton as a midfielder.Advertisement
However, Bruce never actually played Joelinton in midfield during the 89 games the Brazilian played under the former Toon boss.Joelinton was once a figure of fun, but he is now loved and among their most popular players as the Magpies compete for a spot in the top four. It has been a brilliant season so far for the club, who find themselves third in the Premier League and have lost once in the league with the likes of Almiron, Sven Botman and Bruno Guimaraes all starring.Teams now dread travelling to St. James’ Park, where they are unbeaten this season and Dyer shed light on what an imposing place Newcastle’s home ground can be.
