Oregon_Geordie Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I reckon he lacks self believe and confidence in himself tbh. Maybe to do with his looks and the shit he gets on that front. As someone said above he clearly cares but he's a complex character no doubt. Just glad Howe has him fired up and playing with respect for the shirt, he's covering the ground and putting 100% in.

r0cafella Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Glad he got us the winner but he’s not very good and needs upgrading mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I think in a team that truly dominated the ball he'd be a handy player - I always remember Southampton away last year, when we were a man up, he controlled that game like it was a night at the Power League. He'll always have these moments in him, even if the GK has to take the blame somewhat, but it's a case of consistency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 He disappears in too many games for him to be considered useful. Once we secure survival and get to the summer, would like to see him replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Much more useful since Lard Arse fucked off, in that he seems to be grafting harder and has toned down the needless Hollywood passes. Still, I can't stand him, after years of unreliable, lazy, moody, petulant performances and 1 good game in 12 if you're lucky. His limitations are ten fold and whilst he's a necessary evil at the moment cos he's the only fucker who can pass in centre midfield, I can't wait til we ship him out and upgrade.

Good point re: Hollywood balls. There's a case to be made that giving him a degree of structure is good for him as it channels his key skill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 He's self-deprecating about the fk in the interview I heard - he says 'the keeper chucked that one in for us', which I'm not sure the keeper will appreciate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 The keeper gifted us the goal though. Imagine if that FK was against us, and the comments on here if it was Darlow that let that one in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 It was just so obvious. Atleast with the Ederson one there was the explanation that everyone had just had a brain lapse and completely forgotten the rules. Thinking fouls didn't count in the box if the ball was lost. This time there was absolutely no explanation for why anyone wouldn't think it was a penalty though. It was stone wall and there isn't anything that could have been said to VAR that explains how they could have thought Kav never made a clear and obvious error.

Holloway Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Could tell he was in the mood from the off yesterday, had an urgency about him that is all too rare. Also saw a few pics of him afterwards and he was beaming, which is rarer still Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 13 hours ago, Fantail Breeze said: He’s an odd one. He plays like he doesn’t give a shit, but you see his reaction when he scored today and he clearly does. He's clearly trying to do the right things, positionally and graft-wise you couldn't fault him yesterday. He's just too slow to compete in that area of the pitch but that's not his fault. He still needs to be replaced, hopefully in this window. We desperately need some energy and bite in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 He used to deliberately fail eye tests as a kid because he was the only one in his family who didn’t need glasses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 His fitness isn't up to scratch for a PL player, and that's before Bruce got his lamb fat soaked hands on him. You see a different player when he has some desire. We're all the same really, when we're fucked, we're fucked, but when we care enough we'll fuck ourselves that little bit more.

The real reason is a lot more the type of thing you'd expect from Shelvey. It is just a bit of banter, to be fair, between me and my brother," Shelvey explained.

Nine Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Hes sort of playing this DM/QB role for Howe but with probably more emphasis on the DM, I thought he was great yesterday defending around our box. If he was physically more gifted/fit he'd be a level above in that role than where hes at right now. Edited January 23, 2022 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the weasel cunt Maddison’s was given against us but that yesterday, and Fraser’s against Man City and weren’t is a disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
