penguin Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 He was tripled up on all game, surprised it hasn't happened sooner, he is our only threat and teams don't give a shite about leaving space for our other players. Stop him playing and we have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 It's so disappointing that the best player we'll have for a long time has just been surrounded by shit for most of his Villa career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Being the Jack Grealish fan boy i am it's hard for me to criticize him. But today was a pathetic display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I thought he was as poor as the rest second half. A few times we were in promising positions when a pass was on and he tried to do it himself instead giving the ball away leaving us exposed and hit on the break. It wasn’t a captains display at all in terms of trying to lift the players either. I get he must be frustrated but we can’t have him losing his head. Hopefully it was very much a one off.

Keyblade Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Yeah, first bad game of the season. He looked fed up and stopped trying with the rest of em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted February 23, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2020 Against the Spurs commentators were saying during the game that he "actually never does anything wrong on the field". That's not 100% true of course, but I agreed with that. Compared to that, yesterday's showing was very poor. We never recovered from the poor start, and Jack never got going. Then he got frustrated and sort of gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I'm fed up of the zero protection he gets from refs. Start booking people, even if it's their first, if it's the 3rd or 4th foul on the same player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have ,lost the plot,too. Edited February 23, 2020 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) In theory putting 2-3 players on him should be playing straight in to our hands. It gives the rest of our team so much extra space and time that if a team does that all game we should easily be able to punish them for it. Never ends up working quite like that though, does it? I don't blame him if he is fed up, he's brilliant, and half of the team can barely play a 20 yard pass without **** it up.

I do think there's been a bit of an unwritten rule that the kind of fouls Jack gets, because he's so good at shielding the ball, are not the kind of fouls refs are going to hand cards out for without a damn good reason to. It's seemed clear to me for a couple of months now that a fair few refs really, really don't care for the kind of fouls Jack is able to draw, and aren't going to go out of their way to protect him from them.

At one point Ward-Prowse had 3 digs at his ankle before Jack went down.Was like someone kicking a can down the street.Ref gave a free but didn't even have a word with him.

I’m hanging on to the fact the teams around us just keep dropping points. I actually think a record points low at 17th could keep a team up this season. I’ve been confident all Season that we’d get 38 points and stay up. Im no longer confident. I’m hopeful. My confidence has gone because the one thing I was certain of was that the Coach would get the players performing at or hear their best especially against Lower Half sides, and he is now clearly failing to do that. My hope comes from the fact that we are capable of playing decent football, we have some very good players, one genius, and our rivals have just as many average players a# we do, and are all capable of playing badly aswell. Theres still nearly a third of the season to go. Anything could happen.

abdulaziz1 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I didn’t have the chance to watch most of the match, but I’ve seen his assist to Samatta, the ball to Trez who as usual choose the worst choice. Then when Hourihane didn’t gave him the ball. Last one was really annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His football intelligence is way above the rest of them that it's more than likely there's something on - and there was in that situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
