Davkaus Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 It's a big season for him. We've seen how good he is on the ball this season, but it's going to be a big step up to try to do it against PL defenders. He won't get anywhere near as much time and space, and they won't be so easy to bait in to giving away stupid fouls. I hope he makes it, but I think it's far from a sure thing he looks so comfortable at this level he walks in to the England squad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was similar for me, very few could get the ball off him and he got booted a lot. He's a much better player this time round as well. I think we're going to play some great football next season. Grealish will be a success 100%, it's about if the team can support him aptly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neville was on about players choosing which national team to play for only after being given assurances that they’ll be part of the set up. He referenced Jack as an example. He suggests that Jack wanted to meet with the manager etc to receive reassurances that he would be in contention. His stance basically is - if you’re good enough, you’ll be selected, you shouldn’t be prematurely seeking assurances that you’ll receive a call up. Which is all fair enough, it’s just a whinge about nothing really, but it filled a bit of time anyway.

Wasn’t he really young at the time anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 10, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2019 My only concern is that he tries too hard in the first few games. He will be reallly anxious to make a big impression so I hope he doesn't eg dwell on the ball too long, try to do too much himself. After that he will soon bed down though and I am 100% sure be a huge success. As others have said he's been good enough at that level already and he's a much better player now.

Maybe 2/3 years ago, but I think he has changed as a player, he has a calmness about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes an absolute magician of a footballer and I have no doubt he should be starting for England when you look at his competition in that position. (Delph, Rice, Barkley, Dier, Lingard etc.) If he keeps himself fit, we’ll see special things from this lad over the next 5-10 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a concern, i can't remember which game it was but Jack was well below his his best when Southgate came to VP a couple of months ago.

villa4europe Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 absolutely nails it about him drawing players in, no stat for it but I genuinely don't think I've ever seen certainly a villa player like it, maybe even an English player like it will be interesting to see if the better quality PL opponents do the same (hull and stoke did 1st time round) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
