It’s where he played for the U21s last month FWIW.

I saw that earlier today on BBC Sport and thought of you
In truth I am not much of a fan of this suggestion either
Whatever you do, don't pick Dan Burn who has been the best English left back for about five years now. He's too tall.
It's live on YouTube
I watched the first half and it was as dull as f***. Jack under instructions not to run forward or try anything vaguely interesting.

Pretty sure he played at RB in his previous appearance.

Sorry, you’re right! I read that as full back not left back.
In any case Google says he’s playing at RB again tonight.
When has he shone in midfield? What game ?

Since his first start in that awful game against Villa the only team to have beaten the Albion when JH was in the starting XI is Chelsea.
And they don't count because they are ****s.
And they don't count because they are ****s.
Once he gets in the team, he makes himself undroppable, be it under De Zerbi or Hürzeler. Both managers are happy to find a position for him, even if it’s not his best.
Is it because of his speed? His strength? His shooting? His passing? His defending?
No.
It’s because he is a teenager but has the footballing brain of a 30yr+ top half Premier League footballer.
Yep. I love the fact we replaced Gross with a youth player and gave him a season of playing with Pascal before he left.
Even by our standards that is immaculate forward planning!

In an FA Cup Final 35 years ago I remember David Coleman describing an Arsenal midfielder David Price as fulfilling that unsung role. Effective at everything, making life easier for those around them.
Ronnie Whelan was another player of that ilk.

I think managers will always just play a player they feel they can trust. And with Jack the bare minimum you get is hard work, running himself into the ground, and that counts for a lot in terms of that trust.

This is good, but does need to be managed. It’s fine just now, but once O’Riley, Milner and others are back/have joined I think he’ll be rotated for his own protection as much as anything.
Going to be a top young player if he carries on like this - and I can see Chelsea excitedly rubbing their thighs already…

Was brilliant today. Looked in tears and being consoled by Danny before going off. Hope not a recurrence of the stress fracture injury :-(
