Starting to create goals this season which was previously lacking in his game.
In the squad for me and a good option off the bench. He will play against Belarus.

I reckon he should be considered for a starting berth, as he's the most similar to Ramsey. Smith and Ampadu will sit so I wouldn't start both.

Noticed the shinpads sticking out of his shorts in one of the photos?

I think this man needs to start tomorrow night. Fit, in-form and brings something different.

Would like to see it, deserves to start, high intensity from the off will suit him.

Yeah like at Hampden Park in 2013 - Tartan Army were shouting "Who the f***ing hell are you" when he replaced Bale at HT - they soon found out who he was LOL!!!!

Definitely. He'd bring something different to the fold if the worst happens. Lawrence couldn't offer that but is just as good an option to start as Jonny.

I think Jonny is more of a like for like change for Ramsey than Lawrence. But either way I think it will be enough against Azerbaijan. I'd like to see Jonny on early though if we're at the 50 minute mark and it's still 0-0.

So pleased to see Jonny back in the fold, great attitude.

Should have started but great to have him back 👍
If you want to control possession and control the game a bit more, put this man on the pitch. ESPECIALLY if Ramsey isn't available!!

Agree, based on last night, second behind Ramsey for the no10 role.

He came on too late should of been as soon as they scored. Made a difference as we had another player pushing forward instead of 2 holding players.

Absolutely criminal not to start him again a team that were always going to sit in. Even if Ramsey is fit for Azerbaijan I wouldn't be opposed to Jonny and Rambo playing with Ampadu holding midfield in a 3 man midfield.

I wouldn't of started him.
Cant get over excited about 15 mins. Did he create anything?

He could well have had an assist last night had the old Gareth Bale been on the pitch, with the free kick in perfect Bale territory that Joniesta earned. But Joniesta's main contribution, yet again, was in wresting control, giving us forward momentum and putting the opposition on the back foot. His passing was accurate and to feet, shame his teammates weren't on the same wavelength, as there were opportunities for neat one-twos that were squandered. I was also mystified why the ref awarded a free kick late on when Joniesta lifted the ball over the defence and was clean through on goal. I think it was given for handball, but I couldn't see it.

He did well, but almost ruined all his work with a stupid turn deep in our own half
I'd like to see him start against Belarus

No coincidence that we were able to put more pressure on them when he came on the pitch.

I have to say at one point I was sceptical that he would ever be back in a Wales shirt, but he now looks like he will play a big role in the rest of our campaign if he stays fit. Both as a starting option and an option off the bench.

Like I mentioned in the match thread, he is technically our most gifted player.
I wrote him off this year as well due to his injuries, he's a much better player than Wilson and Lawrence.

His final third decision making and execution was mixed tonight, but overall he manifested an invaluable control, especially in the middle third. This stood in stark contrast to Harry Wilson, who had another anonymous performance apart from the effort that hit the post. If it's a choice between Wilson and Joniesta on the right wing against Slovakia then Joniesta has to start.

That ball to Bale on a plate couldn't have been played better.

Joniesta is best suited through the middle for sure
