Maybe because Joe Willock doesn’t score all that many goals, which is why he doesn’t stand out for outsiders, as an attacking midfielder of course he could and should score more, but that doesn’t tell you the whole story.In 14 Premier League appearances in the second half of the 2020/21 season, Joe Willock scored eight goals. If memory serves me right, it was from incredibly few opportunities, I think those eight PL goals came from just 17 shots.
During the fourth place finish of 2022/23, Joe Willock was one of Newcastle United’s very best players, yet again though, if you asked neutrals which NUFC players were key that season, pretty much none of them would instantly think of the former Arsenal player.Even when it comes to assists, you can’t really say Joe Willock stands out. Until yesterday at Wolves, Willock had only managed six PL assists for NUFC in 88 Premier League appearances.
Joe Willock was also very lively at Bournemouth when helping to get United on the front foot when coming off the bench on 69 minutes, as Newcastle suddenly took control of that game again, having opened brightly but then conceding and looking second best in the middle of the match.This time Joe Willock one of those coming on after the break and he was one of the game-changers.
