Nigel Posted December 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2018 Thought he was picking up the ball to deep again against Forrest. Need to be much closer to Tammy for me. It would protect him more from fouls for one as you will think twice about giving away dangerous free kicks around the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way Smith set's us up to attack this is exciting times.. I would like to add the most tickled player in the championship not fouled, too jack after 90+ fouls so far which is not even half a season, it really must be starting to feel like he's being tickled. Wonder if Jack ends up with a count of 200+ before season ends, that would be something and deserving of an award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack is on one yellow card away from a suspension and he makes a lot less fouls. With fouls he has received and shit referees I would be surprised if its double that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is often the one who finds the pass to the assister also. These types of players will often unfairly be judged on the amount of assists and goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Anyone else get the impression he’s enjoying himself at the moment! Walking off in that second half against Hull with tears in his eyes seems a long long time ago now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Sometimes you have to concentrate on what he's doing and how difficult it is. It's easy to not appreciate him float along with the ball 30 yards up the pitch strolling past their players. He's so good at it, does it all the time and makes it look easy. Progresses our play more than anyone else. Edited December 2, 2018 by Tomaszk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Jack's of course been great of late, but I don't think he's anywhere close to his ceiling yet. Perhaps he was a bit leggy against Boro, and probably sensed he doesn't really need to step up a gear, in order for us to comfortably beat them, nevertheless I'd personally like to see him 'enforce himself' even more in games. I get this feeling he isn't willing to leave his comfort zone. Also it could be that Smith hasn't yet discovered the 'perfect role' for Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Think he's one booking away from a ban. Can see him getting that on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the limit is now 10 bookings as we are so far into the season. So Grealish is nowhere near a suspension now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe now he has more quality around him and players stepping up it means he doesn’t stand out as much. We’ve got creativity everywhere. No longer so reliant on Jack. edit: I think he is doing a lot more for the team now when we haven’t got the ball. They all are.

Jack is seeing much more of the ball now and operating a bona fida complete midfield player. As such you see him doing a little bit more of the more mundane, less flashy stuff. The irony of course being that somehow he makes a ten yard sideways pass look so damn sexy - such a smooth and natural playing style. The balletic way he moves and his balance etc reminds me of Zidane, but, you know....... better (jokes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted December 4, 2018 Moderator Share Posted December 4, 2018 I think Smith is the perfect manager for Jack right now just as Terry was the perfect manager for him last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
