MotoMkali Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Trying to find the general consensus about where Jack should play. Thanks to Delphinho123 for giving me the idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBM Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 For me in the centre, he is good out wide, but I want to see him as involved as possible in our play, and I think being in the centre he will get more time on the ball. In our 10 game run that got us promoted he was fantastic in that position. This is assuming we bring in a strong player for LW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 LW all day. It's his favoured position, he drifts out there naturally anyway and he can have the most impact when he's further forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Honestly don't really care, I used to be firmly for the idea of him playing off the left as that's where he was when he truly began to flourish last season, but ultimately he's shown this season he can be just as good as a 10 when he's been needed there. We've seen from when Barkley has played well this season how much better we function with a player performing in that role, so why not have that player be Jack. For me it's as simple as if we sign a 10 then on the left, if we sign a left winger then in CAM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Have we lost a game where he has played CAM this season? I believe thats the position he can have most influence on the game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Traore **** up an easy goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I think he’s better at LW, but sometimes you want him more central. Depends on who’s around him, how good oppo RB and DMs are, etc. In short, he’ll play both throughout his career (and maybe drop deeper in his 30s). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 For me LW That's where his been getting his numbers up. He's been playing in the middle countless of times but fact is he's not been very productive there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icouldtelltheworld Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Coming round to the idea of him playing centrally, after previously thinking he was best on the left. I think realistically he needs to be given as much freedom as possible to roam about, and he maybe gets a little more license to do that at CAM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted May 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2021 Number 10, ideally with freedom to go where he wants and players around him intelligent enough and adaptable enough to swap in to the place he left. 3 trequartistas/attacking midfielders/attackers with him in the middle and the other two who can play anywhere across the 3 would be incredible. Him as a 10 at the top of a diamond behind 2 strikers would be good to see as well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Ken McNaughts Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 First thoughts... Start next season at 10, moving to LW every time Chukwuemeka comes off the bench. When Chuk is ready to start, keep Jack at LW just to accommodate the two of them on the same pitch. Villa destroy all before them. Simples. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Central for me. If he wants to drop left mid game as there is space there and he can cause some destruction by overlapping/rotating with our LW then fine. He can also do the same with our RW( (and indeed has done so this season, most notably when he got an assist for England). Him having a free role from the middle, giving him the freedom of the front third of the pitch to do what he does best; create chances, carry the ball, and get fouled in dangerous positions. No caveats for me. Number 10. Sign a better AEG for LW and have AEG as a great option off the bench. Edited May 21, 2021 by MrBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the team plays best with Jack as a 10 pulling the strings, but before the end of next season I could see him on the left of a 3 behind Watkins with Chuk at 10 to get them both on the pitch together.

Rich192 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Depends on who we can attract on the left or at 10. Jack is world class in both positions, so it depends on who we can attract. I have my heart set on Jack, Buendia and de Arrascaeta behind Watkins. And I won’t have it any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7392craig Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 He has said himself in the past that he would rather play in the centre, that for me is enough reason to play him there. Keeps Jack happy and gives us a threat outside of the wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
