Keyblade Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Everybody suddenly realizing he's an incredible player just shows how they never really watched him before beyond MOTD highlights, and are now seeing him in big games. He's been on this kind of sensational form since 2017. The only thing that's changed since then was that he's been getting better physically and he has better players around him now. This is what I hate about football fans. They make sweeping definitive statements like "he's overrated" or "he's not worth more than 50m, he's just a big fish in a small pond" etc etc. It's big club bias syndrome. They can't fathom that a player from Aston Villa could be so good. If he was so good, why isn't he at one of their clubs? But the eye test never lies, and they can't pretend like they didn't just see what they saw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The size of the tackle he takes is to blame for that. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 They have a huge advantage by playing for more successful teams, but as much stick as Sterling and Rashford get, look at their stats over the last full season. They've bloody good players and Jack's going to need to stay at his current level to have a chance. He's amazing at holding the ball, but it's keeping the goals and assists up that will earn him that starting place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats is a very black and white way of looking at it and it doesn't tell the full story. Grealish brings much more to the team than just goals. I can't really say the same about Rashford. If Rashford doesn't have space to run into and a team has got every player behind the ball he doesn't offer very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an international manager, surely there's more to consider than just goals and assists? You also have to take into account the teams each player plays for. Jack was not going to hit 15 goals in that Villa side last season. He might just this year because he has better players around him. Surely it isn't rocket science for Southgate to work that out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramshackler Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Jack is at his best against better opposition. When you are pinned deep he can pick up the ball and run the length of the pitch. It's priceless and could turn England from also rans to the real deal. He's playing well against Wales and Ireland, but I can't wait to see him against a Belgium or france Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jareth Posted November 13, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2020 Loving the reaction of a salty Arsenal fan I spoke to today, immediately commented that we'd be selling Grealish.

Doesn't always work like that. You can't just assume a high performing player from a weaker team will perform much better if he instead played for a stronger team. How many times have we seen a player like that get a big move to a top club and proceed to flop?

My point is, you judge a player on how he plays, and take output stats into context. There are much better indicators of creativity that levels the playing field if you do want to go the stats route than just goals/assists. No surprise Jack performed superbly in those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
