Django_Zooms Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Any chance that Jack could invest some of the £100m plus wages into a left foot? So predictably comes inside on his right every single time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why oh why does Grealish NEVER cut inside then lash the ball into the net? It's all there but he so rarely tries it. Low percentage. He's never ever done that to be fair. Can only assume its one of the few things he's not very good at and he knows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want the manager gone so we can watch some proper football and dream about winning something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He evidently doesn't think an above average midfielder who is the second best set piece taker ever in the Premier League is worth 25m for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 1 minute ago, Vive_La_Villa said: Why? If there's no set piece on, he's a nothing player. No range of passing, too slight and not physical enough to play as a 6, not able to drive forward with the ball etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate simply isn't playing him to his strengths, pretty much like every other player on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought it was a really poor ball in to him from Bowen, he played it behind him on to his right and it was bobbling Not saying he wouldn't have just cut on to his right anyway but it wasn't like it was in front of him on his left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then it was also Hodgson, Capello, Erickson….. A better manager would help but it ain’t gonna make these world beaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 14 minutes ago, Keyblade said: So if they're not delivering on the pitch, it's certainly because of their life outside it, as opposed to the myriad of other footballing reasons why form can drop off (such as, in the case of DCL, a serious injury)? Edit: Also Jesse Lingard is a terrible example. He got next to zero minutes of playing time in 18 months, went on loan to West Ham and had a barn storming season which showed that he was still a top professional despite a.) not getting any playing time/match fitness and b.) having a life outside football. nope, nobody said it was certainly the reason their form dropped off, just that there will be criticism if at the same time as their form dropping off they are doing more non-football work. Ronaldo is a marketing powerhouse but keeps delivering so it’s all good. Even players like Ronaldinho known for their partying is excused because they deliver on the pitch. Lingard barely got any team BECAUSE his form got so bad at the same time he’s doing loads of (cringey) non-football work. Bit like DCL. It might not be connected but it will draw criticism if your day job is suffering at the same time they do more extra curricular work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
