DCJonah Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 So we're turning on this guy as well now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Jack was good today I thought, back to his normal level of performance which is very good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the time. Relentlessly. You have the ability. Get your head back in it. To be fair when I think of him playing in "The middle" I picture it as floating behind the striker or a front 2. What I see resembles nothing like that Edited June 24, 2020 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was at the centre of most of the few positive moments we had in the game, what do people want him to do exactly? Skin an entire Premier League team on his own and stick it in the top corner? He's a playmaker for a side whose attacking options today included El Ghazi, Trezeguet, and a subpar centre back stuck out at right back trying to overlap. Any time we go through a shite run of performances that doesn't include him winning us points by himself you see people saying he doesn't care/was always overrated. Even happened last season. Really weird behaviour. I'd make the most of him being here while we can because if not for him we'd probably already be relegated by now. Yeah all this ‘his heads gone’ and ‘he’s got his move’ stuff is bollocks in my opinion. He is doing his best and is still our best player. He just isn’t this world beater that some fans made him out to be. He can’t do it all by himself. He is still crucial to us having any chance of staying up though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 27, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2020 Most fouled player in the league "by quite some margin" according to the commentator. So sick of this. It was supposed to be happening in the Championship because of all the cart horse players and him standing out. Was supposed to be different in The Premier League. Why do the officials still allow this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do the officials still allow this? Commentator said it's 20% more than any other player from any season and we've still got loads of games to go. I do wonder if sometimes he could stay on his feet a bit more even when he is being fouled as I think he is strong enough to shake a lot off and would mean either he gets past the man or they get more desperate to stop him and have to make a stronger foul that gets a yellow card. At the moment the oppo can just take it in turns to give away softer free kicks without any real major punishment either from the ref or us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and let's face it, the free kicks aren't really helping us are they. We are so bad at set pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Knowing Jack's previous for partying , it looks like he had a good lockdown because he has looked a billion miles off it since coming back. All the top players have gone back with a bang. That is the difference and then will always be his achilles heel. He likes a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
