barry'sboots Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I hope he's not at the game wearing that white Nike romper suit! He might never escape Liverpool if they see that offering as the new "shell" suit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I think Jack being out is a blessing in disguise. It really puts the onus on our squad to show that we aren't a one-man team, and that little flurry against Fulham was the first sign that that's actually true. Hopefully it can be the start of a string of good performances. Main thing is that we're looking after him and not rushing him back. We want him to have a long career and not be wrecked by the time he's 28. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate optimism but let's not stray into bullshit territory trying to find the silver lining in this; there is none. Our best homegrown player in a generation has missed 8 games already and stands to miss at least 3 more. It's devastated our hopes of Europe this year and all we've proven while he's been injured is that we're at Fulham's level without him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, if Jack being out means we miss out on Europe, I can live with that. Playing midweek European games would have been beyond us as a club right now. We need much further depth to our squad before we go down that road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I reckon he will be out for a while to be honest I think its time for the rest if the team to step up and start playing without grealish. This is a team game not a game of one person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 If he's out until May as reports suggest, I don't see him going to the Euros sadly. He will have to come back and play out of his skin I would have thought, even though he clearly should be going. Like Maddison he's got injured at the wrong time of the season. Mount, Foden and now bloomin Jesse Lingard (who's done nothing but sit on his arse for 18 months before he joined Spam) have probably edged ahead of him and all three have always been pretty reliable when it comes to injuries unlike Jack. I'm pretty exasperated that a shin injury keeps someone out this long. Having had shin splints before and recovered pretty quickly, I was always under the impression that they were a minor injury and not capable of keeping someone out for three months FFS.

We want him to have a long career and not be wrecked by the time he's 28. Blessing in disguise is an odd way of looking at it. The fact that the team has to stand up and play without their stand out player could be seen as a very slight positive I guess. I dont think you get many Juve or Spurs fans saying, great Ronaldo or Kane are out, it'll be good to see how the inferior players end the season for us. Problem for me is, and part of the reason that I had enjoyed the season so much, is that with Grealish we are very competitive against the top teams, when years before we would have just rolled over against them. Complete breath of fresh air this season in that respect. I don't think we beat or probably even give a game to any of Tottenham, Liverpool, Leicester, Man City, Chelsea, United etc without him. Do we beat Arsenal twice without him? I dont know. I really hope I'm proved wrong but given we are ending the season against a lot of those teams, plus Everton twice, it's a real real shame that our season could well fizzle out now. The one positive for me from this is it shows the owners that if we are to base our forward play around one player, then we absolutely need high quality cover in that position going forward.
