thunderball Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Lots of bangs on comments here which is unusual. I think we need to find a way of accommodating him, I think two up front would suit him better too (I am undecided about 5 at the back as we lose a little in attack, especially as I am not sure we should rely so heavily on Konsa and House). For me though, his nonchalant chip over Chilwell's head in that Leicester game where we exhibited 60 seconds of 'total football' will remain one of my favourite moments!

Stevo985 Posted January 19, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2020 I didn't see the game so can't comment on his performance, but that pass for Grealish's goal is absolutely superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone mentioned that while Nakamba makes a lot of tackles, some poster keeps banging on about his stats, they ricochet and his teammates should be there for the loose ball. I think Luiz needs to concentrate more on this for those 2 to work in midfield. We need more industry and less samba right now as pleasant as it is to watch Edited January 19, 2020 by Kiwivillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Luiz needs to start every week, he is the only one fit and capable of consistently finding Grealish in space. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hope we stay up so we can watch this lad develop. The potential he has is incredible. Imagine him at 24 years old where Jack is right now, with 3 more years of experience? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the one player I’d persevere with as his potential is huge and he has all the attributes to develop further into a top tier player.

foreveryoung Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Just seems to me he is getting ignored a bit with Grealish offering the masterclass. Yes he makes mistakes like any young footballer, but to me he will be class. We must try and get him in the game more and stop leaving him out.

lexicon Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I think he'll take confidence from his excellent assist and Jack'll be delighted to have someone else on the team that can conjure up a bit of magic. He's a starter every game for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I haven't really seen enough to think he'll be a 'top tier' player to be honest. I think he'll mature into a good top flight player, he has some good qualities but lacks consistency and at times, really lacks awareness of what is going on around him.

He does, but you’ll get that over time. He’s not a defensive midfielder (or shouldn’t be!), but he times the interception for the goal really well too. However, he’s been caught when going backwards too often. In a central mid role, and looking forwards, I think he’ll be a player. Not “top tier” but a level or two above where we are right now.

Yes I do think there's been a struggle to find the best position for him. At Girona I believe he was protecting the defence and even played in defence at times. Here he has been in front of defence and then as more of a conventional midfielder. It doesn't help development and consistency if you don't really know 100% what your position is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
