Leazes_End_Mag Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Absolutely outstanding today. Any decent manager would have 1 of their players do a man marking job on him though. The space and time he gets on the ball for someone that has the talent he does is a joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 he was great today but the amount of time and space he gets sometimes in the championship is ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Definitely Giggs as fuck. But this baldy cunt is the best player in the championship by a country mile. Ritchie is second. He was fucking tremendous today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 He's clearly a level above championship midfielders and so can find that space. I do think there's a lot of colback level midfielders in this division so shouldn't be that surprising Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Certainly our player of the season so far IMO, that said he's been rotated less than other players. No like for like replacement is why. Easily our most important player. As much as I don't like him I can see why Rafa is roatating Colback and Hayden to run themselves into the ground to give this fella time to boss the game.

toptoon Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Yet another outstanding performance !! My favourite player, easily our and this leagues best player and our most important player. Give him space to play and he'll punish you. England is crying out for this type of player. Dictates the game, turns defence in attack almost effortlessly with his superb vision and sublime range of passing. No one else quite like him currently. Won't get this much space every game to operate in but he's an absolute Joy to watch ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Ridiculous vision, could piss this league half asleep. Hopefully it's all finally clicked with him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Think he misplaced 1 pass all game, good movement to find space as well. He is also aware when to lay it off or play it back whereas previously he used to just try Hollywood shit all the time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 He's half decent moving on the ball as well like. Obviously being league lower helps but he's skinned a few fullbacks now before putting a dangerous ball in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Pirlo - like at finding space, hope he can keep it up against prem opposition when we romp this division, the glorious baldy bastard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elma Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Perhaps Rafa is getting him to do what he had in mind for him when he originally signed him from Charlton? He must have seen something then in terms of turning him into a key player for his system. Obviously he never got the chance at Liverpool but they've now had a full pre-season together and hopefully things are starting to click. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 He's very good when he's given space and probably our best player. I think people are going a bit overboard with some of the praise though. We're in the championship and I haven't forgotten his shite attitude and poor defensive contribution from earlier this season alone, but long may this continue like. If he's still playing at this level at the end of the season and hasn't gone back to his previous attitude, we'll probably win the league and be looking forward to him taking that form into the Premier League. Until then I'm a bit once bitten, twice shy about my overall opinion on him as a footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then I'm a bit once bitten, twice shy about my overall opinion on him as a footballer. I still think he's a liability defensively, but two things give me hope. Firstly, he's worked hard to address this by doing extra fitness work in the summer. Secondly, Rafa seems to have a lot of time for him. You get the feeling under another manager he could easily go downhill fast, but he seems to have a lot of respect for Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 He's the best English passer of a ball in the Championship by a country mile. When he gets it right it's a joy to behold. He'll take us up almost on his own if he continues at this level. The big test will come next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starts being lazy. Blaming others etc. He's come back from a poor start to the season very well so I hope something he clicked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Looking like Rafa has helped him get his alleged off field problems in check and got him concentrating on his football and working on his fitness. This Shelvey is a quality addition to any side outside the top 6 PL teams, however there's always the fear that the Shelvey we witnessed in the latter Swansea days and our relegation run in could rear his ugly head again. I trust Rafa to keep him on track and I think Shelvey does too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Hopefully he doesn't get an injury as we haven't got anybody who can do what he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Probably be my first priority in January. Not going to get anyone of his quality, but need a midfielder who wants to pass it forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Not sure if it's been mentioned but there was one moment where he was facing our goal midway in our half and he swung a pass to either Atsu or Anita tight on the wing in their half. It was absolutely sublime. Completely blind when he played it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
