We need to talk about young Jack
This was his best game for the best part of a season, there were flashes of the old impetuous Jack. The way he won, carried and distributed the ball were fantastic and those little slips, oh my the slips.
One thing remains though, we're down to ten men with minutes left and all we need to do is keep the ball sensibly, recycle it and give ourselves a break from the frenetic nature of the proceeding 20 minutes. Many of our players are booked and many others on the verge of cramping up. Why the f**k is he trying to push forward, take players on and make players run for the ball?
Play it to feet and don't give the f**king ball back!
To go a bit Ray Wilkins here he really does need to stay on his feet
I was quite surprised that after his silly tackle, Flamini actually had the wits to behave himself. Almost as if he cut out the bull**** hardman stuff and remembered he is quite a decent player
Bollocks to your bollocks, he nearly lost us the game
I love the boy but someone really needs to beat some brains into him, he's been away with those mongy england lads and they've brought his IQ down even further.
Balls. We were absolutely c**ted in the final stages and our efforts to escape Besiktas' pressu
inevitably resulted in some mislaid passes, most of which were in relatively non threatening areas.
The alternative was to camp out on the edge of our box and hoof everything clear for 15 minutes.
Jack did absolutely nothing wrong and the team did fantastically to see out those very difficult last 15 given their obvious knackerdness.
What *are* you talking about? He wasn't even booked. was he?!
Could have been sent off for a couple of tackles in the first half
particularly the one on Ba - fortunately after they changed refs at half-time he calmed down a leetle bit
Sure, he rides the line with his tackling occasionally, but if there was an endemic problem it would
have manifest in his disciplinary record, which is far from terrible.
And as he matures, it's likely to only get better :shrug:
