Quote from: LukeJames on April 10, 2021, 08:12:20 PMFucking hell 😂Sigh.You've given no baseline for the statistics to compare to.You've given nothing to set context for them.Without doing either they're meaningless.In one of the many parts of my posts you didn't bother quoting I gave you both (for this season only) by stating points stats for the entire season split into what I see as 3 clear sections, up until covid, post covid with jack and without. I then gave an additional stat of the change in goals scored pre and post covid and there is a stark difference, even accounting for the 7-2 anomaly.Onto last season, he missed 2 games and we lost them both but it was part of a run of 3 defeats and we had 3 defeats (or more) in a row 3 more times so you can't suggest any causation.So the only period where Jack being out (and coming back) had a clear and provable impact was in the championship where Smith was using what was mostly Bruce's squad.This is why the stats you gave mean nothing, they're not wrong, they just don't have any use.
Whilst I never want Jack to leave us, I also don't think it would be the end of the world if he did. DS always struck me when he was at Brentford as a coach who had 'systems', where players were interchangeable. You can't really do that when you have one of the best players in the world - you build the team around him, naturally.I think we'd see the best of Dean after a couple of windows without Jack.The above is obviously much less preferable than keeping Jack, and having him fit, for as long as possible.
WTF is going on in these threads lately? so much bitching it reminds me of pissed up Villa fans fighting each other at Wembley....
I realise that this is in no way a reflection of quality, but I still find it surprising that in the top English league, no one has mentioned that DS is the top placed English manager,

His loyalty to Traore is the biggest puzzler. I can't recall the last decent performance he put in for us. The home game v Palace maybe. He has been awful for what seems like months.
