Didn't take long for Shelvey to become part of the defence. Other than the odd Hollywood pass, he doesn't get much further that the halfway line.

8 changes man. Believe. I'm not being funny but if we're looking at who will do a job out there, I wouldn't be putting him in ahead of a number of players out on the left. Not singling Joelinton out, although it looks like I am, but he isn't a fit for us wherever he plays. If we have two up top and he's wide, (although I dont rate Ritchie or Murphy much higher than Joelinton,) I'd still use one of those players there, I would also prefer to see a front two of Wilson and Gayle over Carroll/Wilson. I'm not sure if Gayle is injured?

Steve "I'm doing things my way" Bruce Joelinton in from the start Nothing's changed you bellend

Where is his post match interview, I need to hear the gimp?

Poor Callum Wilson and ASM, Miggy, playing for this knacker

Bruce, "we're not in a relegation fight"

10000% holding out for a draw now. I'd want to be sick if we walk away with 3pts

Its over

To think Rafa turned Longstaff into a 50m player nearly

Absolutely playing not to lose. I'd start Wilson, Gayle, and Miggy and Fraser. I'd want an attack out there, Bruce puts out a back 5 plus 2 extra midfielders who literally act as CBs

Bruce against teams that high press never goes well

Shelvey creative The lad literally joins the defence every time he plays.

To be honest the argument about him not playing the right position etc, there isn't a position he can fit into here and be better than another player. Its clear the reason he plays so many games is to justify the ego of the idiots behind the signing and recommendation of him in the first place. His key attributes from all the games I've seen,and there have been many, because he literally starts every game, he can hold the ball up relatively well, and bizarrely considering he's here for attacking purposes he wins tackles. Can't think of any attacking qualities he has that justify him being part of a front two or three?

He's got to be up there, surely. Really feel like it flies under the radar a bit as well. He's been a fucking horrible signing. I mean there'll always be Torres who'll go down as arguably the worst flop when it comes to transfer fee Vs. return, but even he scored somewhere close to 50 goals for Chelsea including some crucial ones in the Champions League. There's Shevchenko for Chelsea as well but, again, twenty-odd goals in a couple of seasons. Hardly the apocalytpically bad return that big Jeff has for us. Carroll? Kepa, maybe, if we can include non-strikers? Weird ones like Drinkwater, if you can call that a 'flop'? Soldado? Benteke to Liverpool for 42m is very similar. Wilfried Bony, Vincent Jansen,Eliaquim Mangala,

If Ross Barkley had a little brother.

This thread reminds me of characters replying to each other in an RPG.

Didn't bother watching, thought it would be a waste of eyesight

Clinton Morrison. Bruce is one of the best managers who has managed me. He's a top class manager. The new improved Soccer Saturday.

Play with no fear these, quite the opposite to us.

Lewis gets on my tits, so badly wish we had gone back for Jetro.

Just sack this prick and get Eddie Howe in. I'd even take Nigel Pearson right now.

Lost the dressing room. Called this weeks ago. It was evident in many players faces and body language.
