Don’t really understand the criticism from the commentators about Jake shooting. Quite entitled to have a crack from there, regardless of the score line.
Cracking player. Got a bit greedy with the ball on the edge of the box and perhaps should have passed to people in better positions, but who can blame the lad for wanting to shoot? Had a good game again today. Getting better and better.
He plays like he really believes he belongs in the premier league now. Great to see as I wonder two months ago if we might loan him out somewhere. Probably would've happened if Ward Prowse had signed.Textbook example of how to bring a young player into the team. We gave him regular sub cameos with the odd start from December onwards and now he really looks the part.

Still, he was entitled to take it on himself.
We just need a goal from him I think. After that the sky is the limit.
Not to mention that it was Ramsey’s excellent challenge that won the ball in the first place. I’m glad he took the chance, don’t think Ings was quite as clear through as he looked.
Both the defenders back off to cover the pass each way, it opened up in front of him, he was absolutely right to take it on.
