Okonokos Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I love how he's not scared to get stuck in at all. Having him in there next to Luiz also allowed McGinn to play to his strengths too. Must have covered every blade of grass also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 A shame that one loan spell at Doncaster will stop him from being a true true one club man! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertoAVFC Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Hope he can keep it up. Will be a battle between him and Chukwuemeka I feel this season to get ahead in that spot. Hopefully push each other on. Confidence will be brimming so may now take it up another level. Started nervously but when relaxed looked much better.

He always seems to be better when he comes on as a sub though is my only issue. I genuinely think a full season on loan in the championship would really help him. But, because we’ve neglected the central midfield area in this transfer window, I don’t actually think he can leave. May have done enough to start against Newcastle in a 4-3-3. Can’t see him starting in a 4-2-3-1. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Looks to have matured a lot, loving his driving forward runs, if he continues to improve he could become a big player for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 First time he's properly impressed me today. Fought well, made good decisions, took the ball forward and mostly passed nicely too. Looks to have filled out over summer. I had him down as a possible loanee but he's definitely ready to play his part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Driving runs and was improving throughout the game. Still seemed to make the wrong decisions at key moments when going forward. Looks like he will continue to get game time as things stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 If we aren’t going to bring in another midfielder it makes sense he stays and is given a go. Can always reassess in Jan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be absolutely pointless loaning him out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Exceptional today. Looks stronger and carries the ball very well… could cement his place in midfield if he continues in this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Wouldn't be at all surprised if he finishes the season as our best midfielder, will have ups and downs but overall will get better and better. At some point will start adding goals to his game as well as that's been a speciality of his game coming through the ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted August 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2021 I'm happy for Jacob that people here appreciated his game so much. I must admit I didn't notice his great game, but whatevers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy In Boots Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) I watched him on some YouTube clip where he did a short reaction one touch thing v Todd Cantwell, Ramsey won and I thought ah he’s going to go places this kid because it showed quick reaction and skill and Cantwell tried to be flashy but Ramsey just nothing silly just quick and sharp.

WHY Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I’ve always liked this kid, love how he passes and moves. Passing and moving should be basics but we haven’t had many midfielders who have done this recently. He looks stronger physically and when he carries the ball. He’s a good footballer and doesn’t mind getting stuck in, good game young man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wouldn't say he had a great game or even that he will be in the side when everyone is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Maynn, I wish one of his shots go in, he always seems to have a decent shot at goal. If he scores at Villa Park, the fans will go nutz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it’s his fault for that! I really like him and think he has a great future. He is getting better every game. And continues to do so. Well done Jacob.
