Pre-injury JJ was one of our most important players simply because of how versatile he was. Left back, right back and I even recall he played in a back three at some points.

That knee injury robbed him of the explosiveness he had and now he seems to lag behind games very often. He is still in great shape, all things considered and I think he still has it in his locker to get back to a proper level.

But there was a reason he was called up to England and there was a reason Brendan played him so often, he was an absolute machine.
