JPJCB Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 2 hours ago, useless said: I don't think we should judge him too much on goals and assists, he's playing in central midfield as a box-to-box midfielder and in Gerrard's system has a lot of defensive duties, it's not as if he's playing as an out and out attacking midfielder. Besides three goals for a central midfielder is pretty good, especially one still relatively new to this level, only Gallager, Ward-Prowse, Foden, and Gündogan have scored more in the Premier League as central midfielders, and of those Foden, and Gallager play futher forward, and Ward-Prowse is on set-pieces and penalties, so relative to other central midfielders he's doing well goals scoring wise. It’s striking that he’s our main goal threat from midfield. With his current rate of development and coaching from gerrard I can see him being a regular 10+ goal scoring midfielder. We haven’t had one of those since milner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Could easily see him finishing the season on 6/7 goals, which for a 20-year old CM is pretty incredible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I can’t believe how grounded he seems when interviewed, he just seems like a lovely lovely kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I thought he was very wasteful for large parts of the game yesterday. As a few players were. However, he helped change the game and has improved massively this season over the last couple of months so deserves a huge pat on the back. Has a very bright future if he can stay level headed.

Dodgyknees Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 We need to back him even through tough times, he will have moments where it’s really bad and then where he plays like a god. Either way, support him, we could have a gem here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5-1 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Not the most important thing but does anyone know if he's a Villa fan? Noticed in his interview he said it meant a lot coming from the academy rather than being a fan. It would help maybe keep him for longer if he was, but then again, we know if the bigger clubs come knocking it probably wouldn't count for much anyway. Great 2nd half performance yesterday. He's come on leaps and bounds this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted January 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2022 He's the real deal isn't he. I only 20, he's still 8 years away from his peak. Needs a new deal now. Not only protects us but he deserves it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Bellingham getting so many plaudits - quite rightly - but Ramsey is doing it in a tougher league. I can definitely see them both playing CM for England in years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, if I had the final say at half time, JJ wouldn’t even have been on the pitch to score and assist those goals after a poor first half. I feel kind of bad about that now. Shows how important it is to give those young talents time and a chance to improve. And he does come across as a genuinely nice and humble young man. Which is admirable for someone so obviously talented, and makes you hope he’ll make better lifestyle choices than certain other wonderkids we’ve had coming through our ranks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new deal for sure, he deserves it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does seem to have the right character to go along with his talent. So promising and is just going from strength to strength. Playing with the likes of Buendia & Coutinho is only going to improve him. Adding some steel in midfield would allow him to express himself even more too.

sharkyvilla Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 It feels like his physical development happened almost overnight, which it obviously didn't, but there has been such a quick development in his game. He is one of the main players I want to see get on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not heard him say he’s a fan, but his brother said he is a villa fan during his interview after joining Cheltenham on loan (the video is posted in the Aaron Ramsey thread). So I presume it’s a Villa family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
