He played 32/38 games in the PL two seasons ago and 37/38 games in the PL three seasons ago and was arguably our best midfielder in both seasons (certainly on the ball). It was only last season that he didn't feature as often, and that's because Yarmo, Norgaard and Damsgaard had the midfield positions locked down tight.

You don't have to like him as much as everyone else, but don't make stuff up to support your viewpoint.

I meant starting matches, I'm certainly not deliberately making things up, anyway my memory is hazyand maybe Im wrong, I just know a few years ago I thought he was poor. He is better now and has been for a while I just dont think he is as consistently wonderful in terms of what we get from him as everyone else.

Just my opinion, and I dont dispute he looks very comfortable on the ball and has a touch of class.

To assist your hazy memory his big improvement came after he spent six months training with Eriksen.

No surprise whatsoever that the recent upturn in results is down to how well the midfield (in particular) have been playing. Mathias can be a tad frustrating but his ability on the ball and his passing are top notch.

I don’t think Jensen has ever shaken off, for some fans, the disappointment of not being a midfielder in the Terry Hurlock image.

Doesnt frustrate me at all. He's class, his regular mugging off of other midfielders is not luck etc.

Not in this day and age; he’d probably get two yellows before half time!

In the form of his life. Showing both his quality and experience in the mayhem of the Premier League. I wrote him off too soon. (Just about to copy and paste this on the Vitaly Janet thread).

He’s a really classy player and having a good season… but please Matti, I beg you, have a shot now and again. You’ve got it in the locker.

In his defence, stats show that long shots per game continues to decrease. It’s just the way players are coached nowadays I think. But I agree, even a shot that doesn’t reach row say K gets the crowd excited

I know all this. But it opened up a few times on a low block, you have to give them different things to think about.

No need for the sarky response… and not really. Because the game is played live. So the stats might show a higher percent of something happening in general. But when nothing is happening, maybe try something different. He’s scored from outside the box this season, do you think he got told off for it? I worship at the alter of the MB stats but it can’t be a reason for lack of creativity now and again.

@olliebfc I appreciate you’ve been on this forum longer than myself.

But in the short time I’ve been on, people’s patience, courtesy, tolerance has faded. So now I have a very simple rule.

Regardless of if we agree, I will receive and respond to your opinion in exactly the same manner and tone as you do mine.

But If you want to be a smart arse and said “yeah, I know all that, thanks” then you’ll get the appropriate, capiche 😊

Interesting isn't it. Was saying to my mrs when watching Arse v Man Utd after that "we don't score goals like this"... Not saying be more like United, but it's true we don't take shots from distance. MJ would deffo be my pick to take one.

Shots outside the area were more or less banned under Thomas Frank’s leadership (excepting golden opportunities) and it hasn’t worn off yet!

Ok, so you don’t think Matti would have been told off for taking the initiative and a long shot in a game where we were hitting brick walls against a low block. Thanks for the clarity in your long response.
I’d say being a smart ass is pointing out ‘that the stats show xG is less when taking long shots’ like that isn’t obvious to 90% of bees supporters regularly on this forum.

Aston Villa are very happy to shoot from outside the penalty box. These shots from distance have resulted in 13 Premier League goals so far this season.

They haven't scored more goals than us though. Reality is that we have missed at least 4 high xG chances in the last two games so we are creating chances.

I think you’ll find most of what’s posted on here is hardly ground breaking new insight, but that’s not the point. It’s a chance for people to discuss their shared passion and love for their club, but that’s obvious too so you’ll have a field day with that one. Let’s just put each other on ignore and be done with it. Happy new year

Yes they are not doing that well on the traditional xg tables despite being so high in the Premier League. PG has indicated we are constantly developing the way we look at xg, I wonder if Villa are an unsustainable outlier or if we are seriously looking at tweaks with a nod in their direction with regards to shooting from distance moving forward?

I was really impressed with how Matty was talking to the players after Danjos goal, calming everyone down whilst still celebrating, a job to do and fi is mentality. TCUP thinking clearly under pressure, a very important quality and very rare.

Top work Matty

Jensen has been fantastic this year, fully deserves his starting spot right now. Damsgaard has better creativity and brings a different profile but Jensen has been the better player. In my opinion of course.

Also to add, I think I’ve never seen a player nutmeg so many opponents before, I think I saw two tonight. Is there an official counter anywhere?

The guy is mustard and our most technically gifted player IMO.

Hasn’t really been touched upon but it’s interesting that he takes the captain’s armband ahead of Henderson and Janelt when Collins isn’t in the team.

Just from watching him play, you can see he’s got great tactical awareness and ‘sees the picture’ on the pitch. That’s a great attribute for a captain, especially if he can convey that quickly and simply on the pitch, along with instructions from the bench.
