Glad to see a greater spectrum of fans appreciating JJ now, this really shows just how well he is playing now. Lost count the amount of times i have stood up for him on here. His main problem was inconsistency and also not doing the bizz against the top sides. Under Ramos he seems to have a new lease of life and its great to see that he is fulfilling his potential. He can easily be a 10 goal + a season midfielder. Keep it up JJ!

Someone started a thread at thye beginning of the season about what we were looking for in players this year. I posted that my biggest hope was that Jenas would grow mentally and start to impose himself on games more.

Some of us argued (Myself, Legend10, Sloth and possibly others) that great managers - with winning mentality etc - seem to be able to squeeze improvement from players.

Under Ramos we are starting to see more regularly Jenas playing at 100%. Instead of the 80-90 we saw under Jol.

From tribalfootball

Tottenham coach Juande Ramos says Jermaine Jenas can be a "star player".

Jenas has been transformed under Ramos and England boss Fabio Capello preferred the midfielder to Manchester United's Michael Carrick when he trimmed his first England squad.

"We have worked on his mental and physical preparation and helped him believe in his own potential," said Ramos. "He has made a tremendous effort to get there and he deserves it.

"He has a lot of capability and there is still a great margin of improvement with him. We just have to see whether he can keep evolving or not. If he does, he will be a star pl

See the Torygraph article/interview I linked to on the first page, B-C. Interesting that he's the one player Ramos said needed to bulk up a bit. Interesting also that Paul Hart at Forest said way back that he wouldn't start to reach his full potential until he was 24. Seems he was right.

He'll be 25 in exactly a fortnight. I get the impression that because he seems to have been around for ages already, some people forget that, and have been expecting too much.

good to see JJ getting some welcome praise at last - hopefully this will be the end of the appalling and undeserved treatment he has suffered at the Lane in the past

Simple song -
Super Super J,
Super Super J,
Super Super J,
Super Jermaine Jenas

and anyway, all this ''his energy and box to box running now is amazing NOW'' - its always been amazing, the fans that have backed him from the start have always seen it.

Next game, lets start belting out the Super Jermaine Jenas chant from this point.

and also, the scoring point that people are making.....

hasn't he been our top scoring midfielder for the last 2 or 3 seasons?

Not a swipe against Jenas, but beeing our top scoring midfielder doesn't say so much.

well it makes the points being made about his finishing being poor as inaccurate.

Keane misses hatfuls of chances, and could be blamed for a number of points being dropped this season (Brum, United, Fulham) yet he will never get the stick that JJ gets because he's a fans fave. JJ will never reach that level of praise.

To the tune of Hall & Oats "She's a Maniac"

He's a jenias, jenias on the pitch,
And he's playing like he's never played before,
