I'm not sure the scottish fans would be happy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 What with all the comparisons to Gazza - which seems to butthurt many people - anyone else think he's also quite similar to Hoddle in style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted November 18, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2020 Dug out my first Grealish post, in the Academy thread: On 15/01/2014 at 20:12, fightoffyour said: Grealish looks class Followed up by this in his own topic: On 22/05/2014 at 11:28, fightoffyour said: he's gonna be class ay he. If not, someone OUT. Then it went a bit south after the bad thing before he become the main man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I wouldn't have to dedicate two hours of my evening to a meaningless game of football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not. Hoddle was a very gifted midfielder with the ball at his feet and a great striker of the ball. However, I don't remember him ever having the pace or dribbling ability that Jack has. Personally, I would probably say Hoddle is more closely aligned to Hourihane (but he was better). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am also quite intrigued to see what damage Jack could do to an Iceland defence which will not be of the same calibre as the Belgians.

Grealish is much more in the Best/Gazza mould. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Hoddle, imo. I think Barry was more like Hoddle. I was just thinking the other day that Waddle, Beardsley and Barnes are players more like Jack. The big difference between these great players and Jack, is that Jack can't score freekicks. Someone needs to have a word in his ear about that and get him practicing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame Jack doesn't take more free kicks though as I'm sure he's capable. Perhaps there is a policy that if you're the one who gets fouled someone else takes the kick. Maybe he just prefers not too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way his game has progressed so rapidly I'd say it's just a matter of time before he starts pinging free kicks in the top corner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he just prefers not too. It is a shame, maybe he spends more time in training working on other aspects at the moment. But most world class players (which Jack will become) score freekicks and it would be great to see it bump up his goal tally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
