Wasted shot at the end of the run tbh, wondering if he just lost that bit of explosiveness at the end after the run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Put in a real captains performance and maybe his best ever game and players let him down. A f***ing tragedy. I'm calling it now. Traore and Barkley are luxury players and we can't play both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okonokos Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 He was so good last night. But I was sad because I came to a realisation that if we ever lose him, I won't be as interested any more. He's the thing keeping me watching football. I just love watching him. Best player in the world and I'm being deadly serious. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted January 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 28, 2021 Would he have surpassed Dalian's goal if he went across the keeper and found the bottom corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely we do everything in our power to hold onto him for as long as he plays. he is on-route to become an absolute legend at Villa, and I'd even argue he is one already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he scored it few yards out though and @Kingman would have been a few quid better off. The bet did come in though didn't it. Volley straight at Pope, shot from the crazy run and his goal.

It was an all time great if that went in. The thing that most amazed me was how easy he made it look. What must he be like in training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 He just gets better and better, such a privilege to watch Jack with the ball. He’s so naturally gifted but works his baby socks off too. It was a great move for his goal, that one-two with DL and finish were class. And that run, wow! That was peak Maradona, had everything but the finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth Barry was the best Villa player in my lifetime but Jack has totally surpassed him now. Easily the best I've ever seen. I hope we never lose him so much but if we do, I hope he goes abroad. It will make it somewhat bearable. I don't think the owners have any intention of selling him though, thankfully. They won't be bullied like Lerner was.

I don't think the owners have any intention of selling him though, thankfully. They won't be bullied like Lerner was. I agree and I remember us losing both Milner and Barry and it was a terrible loss at the time. I was so disappointed. but you're right, Grealish has surpassed them both to me. he's easily the best player I've seen in a Villa shirt and if, god forbid, he ever should leave it has to be abroad for me. couldn't stand seeing him play for a shit club like man utd. I'm confident that our owners are well aware of this (I mean, they'd have to be Gump levels of dim not to) and will not give him up unless it's absolutely impossible not to for whatever reason (money offer too lucrative or Jack says himself that he wants to leave). but Jack loves this club as much as we do if not even more so I'm not too worried about this. I think he has his eyes on becoming part of the club lore for all time. To become the best player the club has ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 This is the issue I have with our 'decent 'season. Is it all about Grealish and Martinez? - take those two out and we could easily be just above the RZ zone. There's going to be interest from the very top clubs this summer. Bids start at @£140m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 It was his last touch before his shot in that run that let him down fractionally, it meant he was needing to shoot across the keeper. I think he thought the player tracking him back would have intercepted or fouled him if that final touch was to his right, towards centre of goal, rather than left. But I think his pace would have took him beyond him leaving him bang in front of goal and just needing to slot it. It was similar to when he went through v palace and his last touch took him left of goal, and therefore with a tougher finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they can play together. We need to defend set pieces better, high balls and make subs at the right time. IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the owners have any intention of selling him though, thankfully. They won't be bullied like Lerner was. Everyone has a price. What is in our favour is that JGs price tag will be too high for pretty much anyone, and our owners can’t be arm wrestled. Madrid and Barcelona are in the worst shape they’ve been in for decades, I don’t see Germany being on JGs radar, ditto France. I don’t think any Italian club is in a position to spend the type of sums required either. So we end up coming back to Man City or Man Utd as being the only possible destinations that could probably put up the money required...... and I think the only money our owners might even contemplate would be a new world record. And to be honest I don’t even think our owners will sell at all, I think they’re here for the glory. JG is worth more to us staying at the club. Crazy isnt it, to think that a £200m world record fee isn’t even worth 2 seasons to us in the premier league?! For any transfer of JG to make any sense to Villa at all, then I think you’re looking at a fee somewhere around £250m. Which isn’t going to happen. For comparison, anyone remember Jadon Sancho?!

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I'm one who would usually be cursing him to pass after a good run. However the one last night was so immense I was willing him to score. It was bloody ridiculous, he was probably knackered by the end of it though, hence the inneffective finish. His performance certainly did not warrant the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
