This. We need better.All he does is play the ball backwards or square all night long.

We'll agree to differ.That is literally the complete opposite of how Ryan Jack plays. The absolute antithesis.
Correct will be a big player for us in Vienna.
No, but I think he like Ejaria and Coulibaly needs to bring more to the table.Surprised Jack is getting a pounding when Ejaria and Coulibaly were so poor. Ejaria consistently goes missing and plays more backwards balls and he's meant to be the more attacking role.
Is this an attempt to make a scapegoat of Jack after a poor overall team performance? I don't think he was worst against Aberdeen. Did some people think he was the reincarnated pirlo?
Are you on drugs ?Ian Black mark II
Ian Black mark II
A lack of any other type of midfielder?Why do we play 2 midfielders who “break up play” at home to teams who are happy to sit in?
I like Jack and will admit to expecting much more from him tonight given the opponents.
Every pass tonight was to the side and he showed nothing creative for me - is he the source of the problem or is it our inability to pull players out of position.

He's part of the problem. His distribution is awful. Our midfield options just are not good enough (excluding Arfield).
Another big games goes by Ryan Jack.
Ryan Jack isn’t good enough for where we want to be
On the contrary, we'll need a Ryan Jack if we want to get to where we want to be.
What exactly did jack do to get a pass mark?
He was far better than the 2 rockets next to him. Pissing against the wind all night.I like Jack and will admit to expecting much more from him tonight given the opponents.

Ryan Jack is a sitting/holding midfielder, his job is basically a facilitator. He gets on the ball and gives it to the players there to create. He protects our back four.
The glaring lack of creativity against teams who sit in cannot and should not be laid at Jack's door.
Last night we had two full-backs who created nothing going forward, two wide-men who couldn't beat a carpet and two midfielders who didn't have a single positive effect on the 90mins.
Ryan Jack,along with McGregor and the two centre-backs largely did what he is there to do. If we're looking to aportion blame then the six I've mentioned plus Morelos are where that blame should be aportioned.
The selection of Flanagan in particular, in a game where we knew we'd have so much of the ball was baffling.

But they're not so as a CM he should take responsibility and try and make things happen, tell the other two to cover him if they want to hide, no CM regardless of their role should shirk responsibility when a team like us are creating so little. Put it this way, it doesn't matter who in the mhanky mhob played in that position, if the tempo is too slow and they aren't creating their holding midfielders would take responsibility.This is it. Its not his job to create.
Although I do think his range of passing was poor at times, but I wouldn't be dropping or complaining about him.
Thats just not the way it works.But they're not so as a CM he should take responsibility and try and make things happen, tell the other two to cover him if they want to hide, no CM regardless of their role should shirk responsibility when a team like us are creating so little.

Jack isn’t creative but he is good at his job. If the midfielders aren’t creative enough its down to Gerrard to sort that out, not for Jack to go out of position and start doing things he isn’t great at.
