TRO Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I don't think anyone has questioned Jacks Talent But there is a large thing called application.....in those video's there is much evidence of Jack featuring on his back side. I am disappointed Jack is poorly and I hope he gets well soon and yes we want/need him back soon. sadly there is more to football than just unadulterated talent which Jack has....theres effectiveness and consistentcy, there is will and drive and durability that makes you not go missing in times of need. Jack has a bit to add to his game for me.....But I have to admit the talent is mouth watering. Get well soon son. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 10, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2017 The video infuriates me more. He so has got something but those moments are outshone by periods of poor play. I remember saying during Christiano Ronaldos early seasons that he was a show pony with little end product. Fingers crossed Jack goes that way also but the ball is firmly in his court to make it happen instead of slipping back like so many talents before him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristiano was, but he has worked endlessly on his game. We can all get selective in what we want to see in a game.....thats one reason why DM's struggle for credit because they are not eye candy. Football is not a single dimensional game and its why talent alone is not enough......sounds daft, but is not......Thats why the "Crazy Gang" created a modicum of success by bludgeoning everyone to death ( being a bit unkind to them to illustrate a point) I actually appreciated them but not liking them paradoxically....it depends what you look for. Jack is still only young and has time to add to his game....Here's me hoping he does it. Edited August 10, 2017 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The issue with Jack is that he can break up play by going down easily. Stay up, look for a pass and keep the attack going - by going down and winning a free kick, we lose attacking momentum and the opposition get their players back.

Ponky Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 He needs to be winning those free kicks further up the pitch. Ashley Young did that for us with great results. Jack does his best work within and around the box. I really wish we got to see more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Not sure where he will fit in the team at the mo, will be waiting for Adomah or Snodgrass to pick up an injury. Still, good squad depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) He was nearly ready to leave hospital but then Stone Cold Steve Austin pretended to be a Dr and said "Well Jack, it seems like you can leave today lol" and then Jack said "oh yea, nice one geez, can I have my own shoes back please?" and then Stone Cold Steven Austin said "Oh hell yeah!" and gave him his shoes. Then Jack put his shoes on and did a little dance... and we all know Stone Cold Stephen Austinallegro doesn't like dancing, does he boys and girls.. *STUNNER* So it looks like another forty-twelve weeks out for Jack I'm afraid. Jack told me this himself when we were having our knackers removed (old Micra's) to the knackers yard.

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 He's too slow witted on the ball, will hold onto it rather than playing the right pass, as a result he often breaks up our own counters. It's absolutely crucial that he learns how and when to release the ball at the right time. He certainly has talent, but it's sink or swim time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Interesting to see what Bruce does. According to him, his entire plan for the season was to play through Jack as a number 10. Davis may have just thrown a big spanner in that plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 He will still get minutes. Bruce seemed to really like Grealish and I think the #10 spot is his best role. Even if we continue with the 4-4-2, Bruce will likely go to a 4-2-3-1 late games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottingVilla Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Good to see he's on the mend. That injury was absolutely awful, squirm everytime I think about it. Goes beyond a simple football injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Jack Grealish has this encouraging injury message for Aston Villa fans The youngster was withdrawn 25 minutes into Villa's final pre-season friendly with Watford at Villa Park in July after going down holding his side. After the match, manager Steve Bruce confirmed Grealish was in a bad way and that he had been taken to hospital. It was later discovered that the midfielder had suffered bleeding to the kidney and had undergone an operation. Bruce initially feared he could be without Grealish until next year, but the player's latest update on social media has suggested that he could be back in claret and blue sooner than expected. Posting on Twitter, Grealish said: "Nice to have some good news, back v soon! #TunnelVision" http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jack-grealish-encouraging-injury-message-13640137 Edited September 18, 2017 by Kingman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
