I thought he looked like a player who was playing his third game in a week after being out for 3 weeks injured having been arguably the best player on the pitch in the previous game against the league leaders. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 one average game where he was moved into QB position as we chased the game and he’s jumped on... The overreaction is real. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overreaction is real. It works both ways. A few superb games in the championship and fans are saying he should be going to the World Cup. This is football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the Villa coloured glasses off, Southgate already has to work hard to win over a sceptical fanbase and picking an unproven kid from the Championship who has missed half the season through injury isn't going to do him any favours is it? Hardly unproven. I'm fairly certain he's on Southgates radar. It's not like England are blessed with this type of player either. I'd definitely include him in the squad, because he gives you that something extra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, it's cringe worthy to see some talk this up. He's a good player for us, but no where near international level at this stage, for an attacking player he really needs to improve his output for starters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Wasn't even that poor against QPR, I thought he had some nice moments and could have had a goal. It was the fact that we conceded three goals that lost us the match, not Jack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's these moments we're going to have to capitalise on if we want automatic promotion. I have to say though Jack was extremely lacklustre in defence for the 3rd goal.

Stratvillan Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I'm not a stats man, but I wonder what his longest run in the first team is. I thought he looked tired. Though he's been around for a few years he's not made that many starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapleVilla Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 One of our players of the season for me. We look a fret (to quote Paul Merson) going forward with him in the lineup. We have Alli and Lallana in that position for England so he's going to have to be as good if not better than them before he gets near the England squad.

A'Villan Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I think he will surpass Lallana. People point to a lack of goals and assists but he has so many near misses it's bound to go his way soon enough. The quality is there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted March 17, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 17, 2018 He's great and I love him, but we need more end product from him. Snoddy and Albert can't do it all. Our Strikers are non-existent. So, it's up to Jack to diversify our goal threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, stats wise, he could produce more but we can't just rely on Grealish to get us up. We put stupid pressure on him when he first broke into the team. With the squad we have there are plenty who need to contribute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
