Quicksand, Flash Floods and Sandstorms are all dangers that can cause drowning in deserts (yes sand counts as a liquid and therefore you can drown in it).

UpTheVilla26 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Watching that tonight, when Jack isn't in the team, we turn into statues. The amount of crosses was down to the sheer fact nobody was making a clever run into the box or space. I counted just twice that someone did it and both times it caused problems. When Jack is playing, I know he's on a different level, but other players make them runs all the time.

It was the same in the games before he was out, when a couple of teams on the bounce doubled up on him and just marked him out of the game. When he's not making something happen, we are incredibly one dimensional. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Yep. You could argue that if any team has their best player missing they will struggle but we rely so heavily on him, not just to create, but to draw players in which creates space for others. Just hope he's back ASAP and we can find some form to finish the season or it's going to just end up fizzling out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I don’t care if his leg is hanging off just **** play him, we’d still be a considerably better side. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Yep unfortunately Villa are a one-man team! I thought Traore or El Ghazi would step-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerner's Driver Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 When we spend big on a possible Jack equivalent (in terms of talent) you'll know he's off. Until then, like most teams, we will continue being very ordinary without our main man. Evolution is slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traore and El Ghazi both created a couple of decent chances but without jack the midfield has to do more.

The Solskjær hug and now both Ferdinand and Scholes are out towing the company line. They seem well versed in the dark arts. For a team who is so relient on individual brilliance to get results Grealish would be perfect for them. Can see him being their main target in the summer. Our owners just needs to stay strong and price him out of their range. If we can't keep him, nothing would hurt me more than seeing him at that club. Literally any other club but them.

est1874 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) If he must leave us, I hope to god it's to join a team on the continent. I'd love to be able to continue following him and supporting him through his career but will never be able to back him if he joins another club in this league. It would be weird and vaguely painful for a long time to see him wearing anything other than a Villa shirt, but If not Villa then I wouldn't hate seeing him at Barca or similar, not that they can afford him.

It shows that when he gets the ball, it sticks, only fouling him releases it, In contrast, we have very few players who can resist the press and keep the ball....we have too many players who find it hard to keep possession, even when they run with the ball, it looks like they are going to lose it, run in to trouble or get caught with it.....that doesn't happen with Jack. I know Jack is a phenomenal player.....but If we have any notion of serious progression, we have to have players, who are comfortable on the ball and don't lose it at the drop of a hat....I still think outside of the defence, we have some players not good enough, particularly in terms of consistency.
