VectisSaint Posted 24 July, 2017 Posted 24 July, 2017 Interestingly the club saw JS's potential very early on decided to hold him back from the PL limelight until he was a little older. They didn't want 'another Luke Shaw situation'. The club have played it very well with Jack IMO and they have given him time to not only mature as a person, but as a player as well. Strange to compare with Shaw, completely different situation. When Shaw made his PL debut, he was 17 years and 4 months, Jack was only 17 years and 3 months when we signed him from Argyle, it was hardly keeping him back from PL, he wasn't actually our player. Stephens also made his league debut when we were in the Championship (Coventry, away) so again difficult to "hold him back" from the PL limelight given we weren't in the PL then. But he has matured during his loan spells and at 23 is ready for the step up into the PL, and will, in my opinion, become one of the best CBs in the country in years to come.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 10 December, 2017 Posted 10 December, 2017 Really good performance today. To come in for his first game for a while, against that opposition, in a new formation and play like that shows the talent the lad has. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Saint-Fred Posted 10 December, 2017 Posted 10 December, 2017 Very good display today..tight to Sanchez for most of the game and did that really well. Stood up, got a foot in and often came away with the ball as well. He must have been really pleased with how he did. WTF was he doing catching the ball though?

krissyboy31 Posted 10 December, 2017 Posted 10 December, 2017 Very impressed with Stephens today Ran PEH close for MoM!

BotleySaint Posted 10 December, 2017 Posted 10 December, 2017 Jack did great today. Really dynamic, strong, composed.
Dark Munster Posted 10 December, 2017 Posted 10 December, 2017 Cue, Wenger preparing a January bid!! Hopefully his Chambers cock up will give him second thoughts!
austsaint Posted 10 December, 2017 Posted 10 December, 2017 Jack did great today. Really dynamic, strong, composed. He was very good today; exceptional in the second half.
musesaint Posted 10 December, 2017 Posted 10 December, 2017 Great performance today .....get ready for the club to cash in by the 19/20 season....if not before
Charlie Wayman Posted 10 December, 2017 Posted 10 December, 2017 He played well in an unfamiliar position and did a great job today, is better than Pied and should start again on Wednesday. probably a good understudy for Cedric.
Saint_clark Posted 10 December, 2017 Posted 10 December, 2017 He should be first choice at the back for me anyway, potential for a top class centreback to grow from our academy and lead the defence for many years to come there.
Chez Posted 11 December, 2017 Posted 11 December, 2017 Hopefully his Chambers cock up will give him second thoughts! Whilst the John Stones move might show an alternative outcome. Very similar type players Imo.
rooney Posted 11 December, 2017 Posted 11 December, 2017 Jack never lets us down. Had an excellent game yesterday.
