MotoMkali Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 For the first 60 minutes the squad is as good as him it is the last 30 that let us down. Partially it is conditioning as a lot of our players haven't played in a league even close to this intense and struggle to keep up with the pace of play. The other part is poor substitutions we need to make them Early and the right choice. Against united we should have Brought nakamba on at about 60 when it looked like we were losing control of the game. Instead we brought Lansbury on at 80 and we continued to struggle. We needed nakamba to come on and win the ball to prevent them from getting anything going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I said to my other half, " watch this goal by Grealish", and all she could muster up, " where did he get that tan". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 In the video above Grealish reveals that players have told him they have been asked to kick him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted December 2, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2019 I went into the Man U game thinking we had every chance, because of Jack. He stays fit and I don't see why we can't do well this season - as tempting as it is to always think about relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little surreal seeing a team like ManU take the exact same approach that Small Heath(amongst other championship teams) attempted last year. You would think better teams would have an improved strategy but Jack is just that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Boateng bonus too. Well worth a watch. They also discuss preparing for Leicesters full backs. Jack also mentions how he captains the lads. Jack is underrated smart.

Keyblade Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Good to see Adam C and the Astro team still kicking it. Reminds me of how good the football broadcasting is in Malaysia. It's more enjoyable than Sky and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. As is surely borne out by the evidence (including Andreas' deliberate toe poke to the calf after just 50 seconds yesterday). The "most fouled" tag tells only half the story. In terms of targeted kicks & rakes to the calf / ankle / achilles, no other Premier League player takes punishment like Jack. For someone whose talent is constantly put at risk by spineless refereeing, he is remarkably good humoured.

Tomaszk Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 What a thoroughly pleasant chap he is. Makes opposition fans seethe with his football, and they throw in "arrogant" and "up himself" type insults all the time. He's the absolute opposite. What a captain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 He's a potential Galactico, if he goes to the Euros and tears the tournament up, then you can guarantee they will come knocking. The most naturally gifted,English footballer, since Paul Gascoigne. Imo, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Villa to keep Grealish long term we need to start signing better players to support him. Proven class. I think if we stay up which I think we will and probably comfortably too. I can see in the summer a massive push from our board to get some real quality in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in Southgate's mind, Grealish is this luxury, tactically undisciplined player who would damage the precious shape of his team. That's so unfair on a player who actually works incredibly hard defensively and can play three different positions. My biggest fear is that Southgate will read too much into the qualification performances - against some really poor teams - and not think enough about what sort of player is needed to win a Euro semi-final or final. If we're going into those Euros without options like Grealish in the squad, then Southgate is a headcase, and deserves everything coming his way. My biggest fear is that Southgate is just a c***. I think even at the club, Smith, Purslow and others have recently been asked about Jack and England and have all said he needs to be patient. I think what they really want to say is the opposite to be honest. That Southgate needs to get his head out his arsehole and do the right thing?! Put the best English AM in the England Team!! I think their all being a little diplomatic so not to rock Jacks chances. Thankfully most of the UK are going to demand he is in there soon enough or Southgate will most definitely look publicly like a proper idiot. Jack was ready to go for the national team over 12 months ago. Hence why Poch wanted him at spuds. All this, look at him now bollox. He's been on another level for a long time.. And he wont be going anywhere unless we go down. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I don't really 'get' this England moaning. He missed the games before the recent internationals while he was injured. Of course he wasn't picked. He'll get into the team this season, people just need to chill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
