Think trying to evaluate our forwards today is a bit of a pointless exercise.
They all did their bit under very difficult circumstances

Yeah I think people expect some of our players to pick up the ball, beat everyone and stick the ball in the net.
It is a team game.
Sam set us up to defend and that left Jack isolated.

Always gonna be difficult for Jack/Wilfrid and Paddy with 10 men behind the ball, to get anything going in the opposition half, to be fair
Yes all three struggled, spent their time & energy chasing shadows.

The four times Jack got hold of the ball he lost possession, admittedly the system didn't help our attacking players.

Sums Jack up in a nutshell really. Hopefully we will get about £20m for him, and then we find a better winger.
Might already have a few that are about to leapfrog him in the next 1-2 years: Gnonto, Summerville, and Rutter.

I’ll give him a bit of applause for all he’s done for us, but I won’t be shedding any tears if he departs.
Will you be shedding any for the rest of the dross we have got, apart form a couple of players they can all be shown the door in my opinion and those I do want to stay will already be gone on release clauses or transfer requests.

Not surprised. I think it was Joe from Just Joe that indicated West Ham as one of the clubs that he could slot right in as at least a squad player.
If Leicester shows any ambition, they may even go for Jack as they were clearly interested in January, particularly if they sell, Maddison, Barnes, Tielemans, etc.
