A challenge to Jo

Arteta2391 · July 24, 2009

Something I didn't see much of last season was Jo in open space taking on players 1v1. Obviously this makes a lot of sense since most of his games he played he was taking the role of the lone forward. There are of very little exceptions like that those nice step overs he had over one player. (I'm hope to god that wasn't his only step over last season, cuz one step over in a whole season for a Brazilian is something out of this planet.)

So if Moyes does play him on top by himself next season. I hope he brings out his Brazilian magic up top. Any thoughts?

Add Rodrgio to my shameful claim that I hoped AVDM would be an awesome player......I so gutted when Rodrigo left after 1 full game was it??

I read in 4-4-2 that we was the last World Class Player to have played for Bota***o when he joined us, bless his injury!

I think Jo will go all crazy on us this year, he'll defo get 15 goals if injuries stay away. Just look at what happened when he was consistently playing at Moscow!!

I feel he was harshly judged last year on his away games, did anyone see the Chelsea game? Yeah he could have bagged a couple, but his movement and creativity was immense! We should have won that game

10 stepovers & 2 megs at least a game!! (y)

I dont rate Jo . I never saw anything last season to convince me he has what it takes . He has no pace whatsoever and gets knocked off the ball way too easily . I predict with confidence that he will fade in oblivion which will not bother Kenwright who paid next to nothing for his second rate services .

I know this may be off topic, but didnt Rodrigo win like "Most handsome Brazillian footballer?"

I know theres not much challenge for that like, with the likes of ronaldinho digging his teeth in. Pretty sure it was on his squad profile, with very little else.
