villalad21 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I do actually agree with the 2 incidents he is bringing up here. Particularly in that 3 vs 2 situation where he should have slid the ball to Barkley. But in no way is he holding us back. Not a chance, that is laughable. It was just a game where he made the wrong call in 2 situations. But he also did a lot of great stuff in that game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even holding back villa, In particular last season. The team do over rely on jacks magic. However he does takes too much on himself and several times he over touched the ball and runs in to cul de sacs. if we flip it and it’s jack that relies on the rest of the team, it would benefit both him and the team. tbf, it’s happening this season. Ginny is fully fit and in form, Ross is in the team and ollie’s movement is looking good so far. Once they are all on the same wavelength, the jack doing it all himself will become less of of a need and more of an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 "Holding us back" suggests we'd sometimes be better off without him, with is absolute bollocks. Jack's not perfect, he doesn't always make the right choice. but no player in the world does. With what he offers off, I don't begrudge him the odd mistake. He'll always make them , but I'm damn sure that him and Smith are working to reduce them as much as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rosk Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Anyone looking to criticise Jack for anything is literally looking for perfection. IMO he's the best player in the PL on current form and he's still got his prime to come. Arguably now he is the Villa GOAT of the last 20 years, on a level reaching McGrath and Yorke for what he's done for us.

TrentVilla Posted October 22, 2020 Moderator Share Posted October 22, 2020 First thing my lad did when he got up this morning, watch a video of Jack Grealish highlights on YouTube for the 100th time. Jack’s a special player for so many reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Adrian Durham is just trolling and fans fall for it hook line and sinker. Having said that the points he does make are not down to his ability it’s his decision making. This will only get better in time. In 2 or 3 years time Jack will be a complete player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This - he's employed to create talking points. No player is perfect - Messi makes mistakes too, we just live in an era of highlights that make players look invincible and video games where players can be flawless. Definitely agree that he'll work on his decision making, though - it'll help having players of sufficient quality around him that he can trust more tbf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 If he has any issue with his decision making, it is going to be impacted by the fact he has played with static plodders for most of his career so far. It will take some time to train out the instincts of the last few years (which were needed at the time). That said, he has demonstrated the right decision on way more occasions than he's picked the wrong one so far this season, I don't think there is an issue.

villalad21 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) As much stick as i've been giving him in the past Dean really is the perfect manager for him. Really don't think a lot of other managers would give him such a free role. Edited October 22, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
