Hanshithispantz Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 You would scrap Henderson in favour of Cook? I assumed you might have been taking the piss as you've taken my quote out of context for some reason. I'm talking about playing in a 38 game season for a Premier League side vs a 32 team knockout competition with England (like the actual English national side). His achievements with the U21s are irrelevant, that's like taking Gayle's record in the Championship as a measure of how he performs in the Premiership. He isn't going to be a starter at the World Cup so his role is different, and as he doesn't offer anything particularly unique he's just backup for Henderson and Wilshere. Shelvey would be the same thing but with the advantage of actually being able to change a game if needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Most of our best performances at major tournaments have been the result of enforced change, 86 was Beardsley, 90 was Gassa, both I believe down to injury to Bryan Robson. We need that element, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 If England wanted to get the Russian fans on board picking a racist who looks like he takes Krokodil would've been a good idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Looks like we’re going to try and play like Stam’s Reading last year and pass the ball sideways in our own half all match and claim that we’re a really good footballing side. We've been doing that for a while tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I wonder if Swansea fans are confused when they see him chase down a CM then a LB and all the way back to the GK from our own box. Rafa has converted he's lazy attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Looked like he hoyed a punch - owt been said? I'm sure MOTD will do their best to get him a ban like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Won the battle of the baldys today. Some of his passing was outstanding today, should really have had a couple of assists. His shooting though has been dreadful all season for some reason. Mooy's a very tidy player and a good one, but he really doesn't dominate a match as much as he should, maybe it's the role he plays in and he would benefit from playing further forward.

toontownman Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 If he puts in performances at this level until the end of the season he will be on the plane with England imo. Or certainly should be. The talent isn't the question. The consistentcy in form and self discipline is what has held him back from being picked imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Our joint second worst player today according to Ryder who thought Yedlin was superior with an 8, lol ! https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-player-ratings-plenty-14479869 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Dropped a bit too deep in the second half but he was constantly looking for ways to unlock their defence. Not easy when they were all camped out behind the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Eh, I must have missed all that. When during the match? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Was it not when he ran past Hogg and closed down all the way to the 'keeper? Hence Hogg giving him a late one soon after? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBingo Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Another good game today....my only concern was the bit in injury time where he was standing with his hands on his knees (like Bournemouth) and totally gave up on his runner. Luckily they were utter shit and didn't take advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Eh, I must have missed all that. When during the match? 1st half he pushed one their players when chasing a ball as we broke. There player lost his discipline and ran over to have a go at the ref when the game was still going on and then 2 minutes later fouled Shelvey on the halfway line. Didn't look much more than Shelvey pushing to get passed a player trying to obstruct him at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, their arms got a bit tangled and Hogg went whinging to the ref. Looked like Shelvey did absolutely nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Wanted him gone after the Spurs game but now wholeheartedly agree that he deserves a call-up because of the lack of options. Best form he’s been in for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 he's been playing further up the pitch lately and been great. was disappointing to see him so deep again today. did well but needs to be further up the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooy did last year (and at the Kirklees against us earlier in the season), I think it's just the way Huddersfield play as a team now. They used to look to dominate possession in the opponent 3rd of the pitch, now they want anything other than the ball at their feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Shelvey's got a better long range pass. But then Shelvey's long range passing is just such an anomaly. He can put a ball in behind from anywhere. Good to see Slimani making a run for him straight away today and it nearly coming off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
