Keyblade Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Before the mistake and that one giveaway, I thought he was one of the best players on the pitch. Him and John were really showing up Spurs' midfield until Eriksen came on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QldVilla Posted August 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2019 I think Grealish was trying to play out from the back rather than hoofing it and being straight back under pressure. We stopped pressing their midfielders in the second half as we ran out of steam. Grealish was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post granto Posted August 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2019 Even after Jack lost the ball, was pure luck the ball dropped to Kane. Bounced off Mings and Engels. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if he hadn't played 18 of those games in a team that was absolutely and totally abject then yeah they might be onto something. Yes but people hate him so regardless of context the BBC will get lot of likes for the post 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) The problem with stats in football is that the majority of people don't know how to interpret them, including those who produce them.

Rodders Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I remember Gareth Bale when at spurs had a similarly pointless stat, might have just been winless rather than defeats was about 21 games when he played Spurs didn't win, but it's meaningless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Jack has a very good football brain. He made a mistake for the second, he knows that. He’ll learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted August 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2019 I was surprised at some of the fouls on him from a disciplined team like Spurs, not even that close to the ball. He'll get as many free kicks this season as last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was exactly the same as in The Championship, people just bundling him over, players apparently good enough to play in Champions League finals. It's something about the way he carries the ball that distracts players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Yeah have to say I thought once we went up he wouldn't be getting kicked about the pitch every week but obviously not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Can't mess around in our own half in this league. Need to learn from this. I think we would have made a draw if not for his mistake. That said he played amazing in that 1st half. Ability is there just need to be more aware.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 If you watch the replay from Heaton's perspective it looks like there is a ball on to Kodjia, who was hanging on their last defender. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I wish Grealish had made the pass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year many shrivelled into their shell whenever it got difficult. Hopefully some of the new players can stop our squad doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 If there's no option just launch it. To be fair he's better than harry winks. that kid is absolute gash. although my russian stream kept showing a bit of skill winks did where he won a tackle and spun 360 which looked impressive. however when he went off the pitch they won the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
