Fair play to him. That was a fine goal. Most impressive.
Good lad.
'More please.'

He looked sharp last night, previously thought he had been a yard of the pace.
RE: Joao Carvalho - the jock - 28-11-2019
looked much better than adomah. there was a zip about him.
RE: Joao Carvalho - Duncan Mckenzie - 28-11-2019
He needs to be doing it every game not once in a blue moon.
I hope he can now get a run in the team and be consistent.
Lets see...

Almost like he had been struggling to get back up to speed following a nasty injury.
As DM says, we want to see more of it now.....but thats the kicker, getting back into the team and establishing himself have not been easy as the others have generally not deserved to be dropped. Like a good pro he is biding his time and hoping to make it count when chances come. Recently, vs Sheep and last night he is doing just that.
The goal was just icing on the cake. His contribution was excellent.
More of it please against the bullying sides we have coming up, off the bench or otherwise.

Great goal against QPR. Maybe we have seen why Lamouchi has been playing him as a winger rather than 10.
RE: Joao Carvalho - wassy04 - 28-11-2019
Thought this last night but the change in formation obviously has a big part to play. He can’t play in a midfield three, that’s been shown but when we play a proper number 10, he should be definitely considered.
Assuming we revert back to 433 I don’t expect him to play ahead of ameobi or Lolley but a good change of pace option. If we stick with 4231 then I’d start him
RE: Joao Carvalho - Paplane - 28-11-2019
I dont think we can judge him on a single substitute appearance and a decent solo goal. And lets not forget we were playing v 10 men when he came on.
I'd love to see him back in form but one swallow does not make a summer make.
RE: Joao Carvalho - ThePromisedLand - 28-11-2019
How many times, over several seasons, have we seen players without a proper pre season struggle when they get back.

I agree with you. I haven't gotten off the fence yet.

I really really want him to do well again for us but the game was wide open when he came on the other night. His appearances on the right have been poor so far and IMO he's not compatible in the middle alongside Silva.
The goal might give him a shot of confidence but I just dont know how you accommodate him in the side if he's not on it 100%.
RE: Joao Carvalho - Alf - 29-11-2019
On one hand brilliant stuff from him, really showed his potential & as The Jock says looked to have his "zip" back.
On the other hand, taking the piss out of one of the worst defenses in the league when down to 10 men is hardly something to write home about.
When Carva was doing well under AK it usually appeared to be against more fragile sides. I remember when we played Leeds away I was looking to him to take it to them, & instead he took a few kicks and was anonymous.
I want to see more of him now he's kick started his season, but he'll need to start doing that against top opposition before he lives up to the hype.
