Ikantcpell Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 What a player, it's so wonderful to watch him play knowing he is a diehard villa fan aswell. You better stay at Villa for life Jack! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) My favourite part of his game last night was when he got the ball in the right back position and he had three Wolves players around him trying to get it off him and they couldn't get near taking the ball of him. In the end he was fouled although the ref gave a goal kick I believe. That was like watching the best kid at school keeping the ball away from everybody else Edited March 11, 2018 by villarocker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 11, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2018 The only time Jack is not seeking the ball is when he has the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted him to just smash the ball out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need one of those stupid Barcelona/Real Madrid type "Life" contracts with a stupendous buyout clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Sometimes I wonder why he doesn't just dribble past the defence and toe poke it past the keeper but then again we already have a player that can do that Edited March 12, 2018 by Lord Willard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a matter of time IMO, his confidence is growing by the game and as others have stated he has enough ability to go on and become one of the greatest ever Villans. The rocky start to his career will only add to the legend. The likes of Jota, Snodgrass, Cavaleiro, Adomah, Douglas, Chester and Boly may well be Premier League players. Potentially good ones. There were however two genuinely top class players on the pitch Saturday, heading for world class. We need to build our future around one of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to think that picking up a freak injury like that makes you start to really appreciate every game you are fit enough to play. Maybe you realise that any game could be your last.

In fact he was Jacks age when Chelsea signed him from a league of a lesser level than the Championship and he didn't get on at all there, so there's plenty of room, and time, for Jack to grow into the player he will become. Can he be as good as De Bruyne? Well I think so, the ceiling is there. Will he? I'm less sure but if a player like Fabian Delph can be a regular for Man City, give him a couple more years to develop and put a player of Jack's natural ability and trajectory into a team like that and he will excel. He's already good enough for an admittedly average England side. Hell I'd start him in a couple of weeks and see what he's made of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Almost worryingly, I think he can get to Champions League level very soon. Jack's had 90% of the technique and understanding for the last few seasons already. He's slowly getting better at everything else in the mean time. He'd be more of a true 10 for a lot of teams but you look at the way Pep plays Silva and De Bruyne centre mid, he'd suit that position down to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm amazed by how highly people on here are rating him, almost unanimously. He looks fantastic at this level since he got over his injury but he's got a long way to go to show this is a consistent level of performance and I'm worried whether he'll perform this well in the prem. Doing very well, looks class and I'm very happy he's at the club, just to clarify. Don't want to knock him just not sure saying he's a potential champions league player soon and could be as good as de bruyne is sensible. Sets us up for disappointment. It wasn't long ago I would have been very happy if he'd just been good enough to be a prem league squad player for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mostly making a development/ceiling comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not knocking you, it's nice to see fans mainly positive about all of our players, last time I was on here consistently was at the start of the season where the toxicity of the relegation season was creeping back in, I'm enjoying the positivity and good vibes surrounding villa and the players + staff. Just a natural reflex of mine to dampen expectations I guess. I used to put it down to being a Villa fan, I'll have to think of a new excuse now.
