Seen comparisons to Maradona, McInally and Atkinson yet doesnt even make the extended highlight reel. Villa obviously dont want the big clubs seeing what he did is the only conclusion i can make. That's just speculation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Reading an article on the boro gazette this morning. They seem pretty sure what they need to do to win. Besic man mark grealish. They recognise he is a huge threat to them. This then frees howson up. Start bamford. Nice to see that they have it cracked anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the refs performance I think it'd have been more likely that Jack would have been booked for diving. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he had a good game, he was double marked , sometimes had 3 players around him but still managed to get free of them a few times. Put in a perfect cross for Assombalonga who should have scored as well. Boro over relied on him rather than using him as a decoy to get other players into more space. I had my heart in my mouth a few times when he had the ball, I don't subscribe to this notion that Hutton had him in his pocket at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second half Hutton followed him everywhere, with Elmo moving to the opposite flank, and Traore got nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the point is not once, as far as I recall, did he beat hutton down the line or really lose his marker, whether it was Hutton or not. He still looked Boro's most dangerous player, but we really kept him under control for the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily for us he just tries to take everyone on instead. No doubt about it the guy is an immense talent though. If he had an ounce of football intelligence he would probably be playing for a top 4 premier league club by now. Ability wise he has it all.

Zatman Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 would have laughed at this about 2 years ago but he has shown maturity and leadership that dare I say he could be a future captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Very good over both ties, really the only one you can count on to produce quality going forward consistently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted May 15, 2018 Moderator Share Posted May 15, 2018 If John Terry is appointed Chelsea manager before we're in a position to be competing for CL places, we should be worried that Jack will go to Stamford Bridge. He's improved exponentially this season, and the presence of JT must represent a huge part of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 He's a class above. Yet another shot easily good enough to be rewarded with a goal. How about those passes? Adama might be pacey and exciting, but Jack was more imposing and influential in this fixture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Watching that interview with terry. That is why we need ti try keep terry here as a coach. My god his influence on grealish has been phenomenal Was excellent today and the North stand erupted when he did some super tackle in the 80 minute. He looked absoluteky knackered well done lad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 In my lifetime, there's never been a gap this big between one player and the rest of the squad. Unreal footballer. Destined for the top. Hopefully he takes us with him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
