Don't need videos for either I agree, my point was they are terrible videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano certainly didn’t rule it out but probably didn’t feel that he had to. Would still be a massive surprise to start on Saturday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also looked into the whole jet lag thing, he's had virtually a month to prepare for this so they may well have circumnavigated the worst effects of it. He has/had 3 days to impress. So who knows. He seems like a smart kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're fine after a long night's sleep, two days turnaround max. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 He also mentions that he trained with the team in Minnesota. I'd forgotten about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Honestly thought he might not be ready to go until Everton or palace. He's much closer than that seemingly. Still think, even though i don't agree with it, Hourihane starts Saturday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a school of thought that holds flying west to east causes much less severe effects than flying east to west. I've taken a lot of flights and my own experience reflects that but the distance obviously matters too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying east is apparently scientifically proven to be worse on the body due to the shortening of the day. It's easier for the body to extend the day than shorten. Dependent on the amount of time zones crossed and the individual body in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 It's hard to imagine anyone being better than Grealish or McGInn, but have a feeling that this player could be on a similar level to them once he gets settled in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully too having a DM who is more competent and able to move the ball forward will enable jack to stay further up the field. He does tend to drop a little too deep at times. Needs to trust that with Luiz in the side it'll come to him if he stays further up field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying for a while, Jack is gonna be so deadly now that he'll have Douglas feeding him from deep. He'll be our most important signing along with Heaton because he'll have the biggest positive effect on our style of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall the game where he first got injured last season. One of the commentators was laying into him for not showing more strength of character and he never appeared for the second half. Meanwhile, back to Dougie, I think if he shows enough in training he plays on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 So excited to see how he's going to get on. Similar with Wes. I think they will take to the PL like ducks to water. I think he will be on the bench Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
