Carl Sagan Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 On the commentary last Friday they mentioned he was the only Republic player to play every minute of last season or something like that. Great testament to his quality and since he hit the international scene he's added a huge amount of guile and skill to his attacking play. Do hope he gets more starts in the run-in. Always thought he had the potential to become Derby's Steven Gerrard. Congratulations, Jeff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Funny though, i enjoy watching him and glad he is doing well for Derby but I've heard from a fair few people he is a bit of a nob when he goes out of an evening. He won't go to prison though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Well done to him. When he's on form he's a very good player. Frustrating that he goes in and out form during a match, but if he was at his best all the time he wouldn't still be here. One of our own, terrific servent to the club.

Monkeytennis12345 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 He's done very well to get to 200 appearances, especially with his 'ability' to go missing during many of them. A very very frustrating player as we all know that he 'can' do it, but only when he feels like it. I fear he won't make it to 300 in a Rams shirt. I bet he starts on Saturday, though.

LesterRam Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 I think he would surprise a lot of people if he had a decent run in the team, he's almost untouchable when he is under a motivational manager like martin o' neill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Ennui Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Based on what, exactly? A couple of assists for Ireland? "Untouchable". What does that even mean? I've been impressed at times with his footwork, increasingly so this season, but he lacks aggression (50-50, Jeff? Jeff? Oh, he's wondered off) and he severely lacks end product. I don't think he's played a through-ball in his life. And does anyone know what his position is? He doesn't make a tackles so he can't be box to box, but he has zero vision so can he really be an attacking mid? He needs to score more goals or at least get into the box consistently for an easy layoff because he has zero creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazloW Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Wow. So many uncharitable and just plain old nasty folk on here (shockingly). FWIW I've never really understood the criticism of Jeff. I think he is a cracking player and actually seems to have added something to his game this year.. Of course, I have a tendancy to be realistic in my expectations of a young championship midfielder and thus measure my assessment of him against that. Anyway, don't think this thread was meant to be about critiquing his ability, it was about congratulating him on an acheivement. So, congratulations Jeff. I for one hope you're here celebrating 300, 400 and more games for us in the coming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Ennui Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 He's not young anymore. He should be peaking now and I don't think he's as good as we all wanted him to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Ennui Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I write all this out of frustration more than anything. The bloke is clearly talented but I don't think he has the brain to be an effective footballer. I get mad every time he shies away from a challenge. If he can prove me wrong I'll be delighted.

Alph Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Class player in the final third. Not too hot at the build up though. Can be sloppy too often. Congratulations. Hope to see him on the ball in the final third waaaaay more often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StockholmRam Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 All that money so many of you spend watching football live or on the box and not having a clue as to what it is you are actually seeing.... Ball watchers. Bah. Try for once just looking at a player when he doesn't have the ball... See what he creates around himself by movement and use of space. Then you might have a clue as to why Jeff has already amassed 200 league games at such a young age. His position true to best of ability is as permanent receiver and he rolls the play on by either taking the ball into a dangerous area or by being available to the time old pass and move. He can dribble in dangerous areas too... Im not saying he is going to be a world beater but some of the negative comments on this thread are lacking basic football knowledge... Next time you are at a game take a look around you. See most of the eyes glued to the ball!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
