Commentators cream over Shelvey every time he touches the ball too, they obviously want him on the plane to Russia
He played well 2nd half but literally every pass was described as delightful. He could have played a 4 yarder back to Big Mart and it would have been delightful.
Maybe it isn't a love of the slide tackle, maybe he just cannot help it. Like tourettes or something.
He's had a really good season though, it's nice of him to allow the boo boys to let their hair down a bit and give him a well waited earful.
I'm still confused as to what he was doing. It was like he was in 2 minds of whether to just slide down the side of the ball to shield the cross or to go for the ball.
It was Watford, which was like 1/4 of his entire game time. Bonus Ryder.

Was content to jog around at times as the game passed him by
He ran his bollocks off the poor cunt.
Was about to say that. You could see his silly hair waving all over the place every time he lost the ball busting a gut to get back.
From memory he ran his bollocks off against West Ham and/or Watford (I think it was) and was subbed off breathing out his arse in one of them. Then he was told he wasn't fit to wear the shirt after being here about a month which was followed by him being Hatem'd by Schteve. He must have played about 5 minutes since then, I really don't get the "his performances reflected it" at all like.
He was obviously a bit of a soft touch but the whole thing was really weird.
He's only 30 like, providing he keeps in shape he should be able to keep his current role for at least another couple of seasons like. I cannot see any reason he couldn't play all 38 games next season outside of injury and suspension.
Merino will hopefully be better equipped next season too but Hayden can probably be replaced.
