Absolutely...Or give Jack a shot in the middle in Gundo's position.
And they attacked him personally, his hair, his socks, his shorts, all sorts of stupid shit that for me made the posters sound like jealous knobs...it must be said.Lots and lots of people said this.
Class today. We actually lack players that just play calm in the tight situations. Jack got the ball in so many dead ends yet every time he finds a way out. And it’s these situations, where he attracts multiple players to himself, that creates space for KDB… IF Jack can find the solution out of the trap he’s in. And he did. Every time.
And that’s his whole game plan - he attracts players to him and is (recently, especially) so good at picking the right moment to take them on or recycle the ball.
Worked a treat on Wednesday because he was aggressive with the ball, all that’s needed really because I can’t actually think of a time he’s been dispossessed- just taken them on or won a foul. Either way we retain possession.
We just have to learn to give players time. Some of the same posters are now in the Phillips thread, or the Gomez thread, and these players have barely featured: it is way too early to judge them in any way, positively or negatively, so just give them time.
We do not play a simplistic style of football, nor do we play a style that is played widely elsewhere, so we are often talking of players coming to a new team, in a new country, a new league, an unfamiliar style of play and new tactics. Imagine having to learn all of that, as well as to integrate your family into a new culture and home, while under the microscope of the Premier League. It surely isn't a lot to ask for the fans of your own club to give you every chance possible to become a success, especially after the number of examples that we have seen of players taking a full season to begin to show how good they are.

You mean horizontal?My OCD is not happy with this thread title, where is the vertical line that's in every other title?
No, the vertical line is there now between 10 and JackYou mean horizontal?
I was hugely critical of him last season and the early part of this, he was hugely underwhelming.Most weren’t wrong though. Most posts are an evaluation of the most recent game or recent form, so those saying that he wasn’t good enough at the time he wasn’t good enough weren’t wrong unless they said he’d never be good enough.
I was massively critical of him every week for months. My main gripes were that he wasn’t anywhere near aggressive enough, he was too nice and too laidback and that meant he didn’t have enough of an effect on games and didn’t do enough defensively. I don’t think any of that was wrong at the time I said it.
Since the WC he look a different player, a player who now believes he belongs in this team, the difference is night and day much to his credit.
He still has much more to improve on, creation and scoring have to improve but he is a player who has become a huge part of our team.
