And then when he's not as effective be like 'he's overrated' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colhint Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 just heard a description of Jack. I don't know if its a compliment or piss take. I hope it's the former. Anyway It's "He's a discount Messi" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) I reckon if it wasn’t for FFP we would have been able to convince Jack for stay for one more season if we didn’t go up. Unfortunately I’d think we’d have too much of a rebuild to do to challenge for top 2 next season and Jack would provide the money to do it.

Anyway It's "He's a discount Messi" I think so at times, the problem is any sentence with jack and messi in it obviously means that you are comparing the 2 and overrating jack and being a deluded villa fan again (the latest ammunition for the obsessed seems to be 1 of us phoning up WM saying how barca should sign him which is obviously representative of all of us) but I think the ability to go past people with nothing flash is definitely there, the majority of it is in the hips and shoulders, there's not many Cruyff turns, stepovers, lollipops and drag backs etc no street skill bullshit, no beating a man 3 times for the sake of it before over hitting a cross like Nani or Quaresma, as a result it looks completely natural and easy for them and that's before you then start looking at the weight of passing, the range isn't there, the vision isn't there but the actual way they pass a football is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a great knack of creating space for himself and ridiculously comfortable on the ball. He really is a pleasure to watch at this level. Would love to see him continue playing this way in the premier league captaining the club he loves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) I think what impresses me the most is how he weights his passes. He had one across Millwall's box (at the 16 yard line give or take) towards our right flank which was weighted exactly enough so the intercepting defender couldn't reach it, but it still was placed in front of our attacking winger or fullback. I can't actually remember who recieved it (maybe Green?), but it was a brilliant ball which is very hard to weight correctly when you are charging forward with the ball at your feet. Anyone who has ever played a lot of football knows exactly how hard those passes are. Doing well weighted passes when standing still can be done by amateurs. Doing it at pace moving forward is a different game all together. Edited April 26, 2019 by KenjiOgiwara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Whenever you see Robben lining up a defender, you know what he will do, the fans do and the opposition defender does as well but you just cant stop it. Its the same when Jack faces up a defender 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally I was talking about this with my mate pre-Bolton game. One of the hardest skills in the game to learn, after you've learned how to pass the ball in a straight line, is that instinctive awareness of your surroundings. Catching a team mate in your peripheral vision and having the ability to execute a pass or a layoff with pinpoint accuracy, as if you're doing so in slow motion, takes talent levels way beyond anything a mere human could manage. That little dink with the outside of his boot to Tammy against Bolton wasn't luck, he wasn't just plonking the ball into a danger area in hope, he actually placed the ball onto his head. Twisting sideways. With the goalkeeper up his arse. And he does this every week, even when he doesn't appear to be quite at the races he will pop up with something ridiculous like that and make it look so very easy. Astonishing really. He's an artist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
