I thought he did ok personally.
Like how he acts as a sweeper keeper. Risky but allows us to push high. That will be very effective in home games I think.
Still giving away needless free kicks instantly putting us under pressure and forcing everyone back.
When has Rafa previously dropped him from the starting 11?
I've never been fond of managers that let you piss around all the time in training sessions. Bellamy describes it like an army drill but that's exactly how it should be imo. Fully professional and rafa makes sure everyone knows exactly what they need to do and who is boss.
I like how we're in a much easier league allowing him less pressure to build the club and get his methods in full flow.
Plus with going on a good unbeaten run in this league will give everyone so much confidence in him regardless if it's in the Championship.
Only a matter of time before Shelvey hits one of his 30 yarders that finds it's way into the back of the net.
From then on he will be awarded the shoooooot chant at every opportunity.
(Which no doubt he will oblige and give away possession)
He'll boss it in the Championship. He had loads of chances last season but just couldn't put them away.
The important thing is he gets himself good chances nearly every game and in this league that will be more frequent.
Think Gamez was signed as our first choice LB,agree Rafa may not be impressed with Janmaat as a defender (hence trying him at RM) but can't see Rafa putting him on the bench.
