Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Çaykur Rizespor, on loan from Nottingham Forest)

Maybe what is unacceptable is that he's scored 1 goal in 39 Premier League appearances for us.

 

Lewis Cook has 0 in a similar amount of appearances, this season & last.

Jordan Henderson has 1 this season, 1 last season.

Jake Livermore has 0 this season, 1 last season.

Eric Dier has 0 this season, 2 last season.

 

All of their assists are similarly low. For whatever that is worth.

 

People are not arguing that Jonjo Shelvey is Frank Lampard. They're arguing that he's a better option than Jake fucking Livermore.

But just think of all the 5-10 yard passes Dier and Henderson can play!! WE'LL WIN THE POSSESSION!

Nah, Henderson's really good like. Putting both him and Dier together in the same midfield is football contraception though. Henderson with Oxlade-Chamberlain for me, with Dier as Henderson/CB back up, and Wilshire and Shelvey as back up attacking midfielder alternatives to Oxlade-Chamberlain.

He won't be picked like. He's seen as far too much of a loose cannon and had the exact reputation Southgate and the blazers at the FA run a million miles from.

 

Dele Alli ?

 

"Not that type of player." Apparently.

Looks one date rape away from beating somebody to death.

When it suits the argument aye. Really starting to dislike Gareth Southgate.

Alli has been performing to a much higher and more consistent level than Shelvey over the last 2 seasons mind. I think Shelvey definitely deserves more of a chance than Livermore and Cook though

I heard that clip from Danny Murphy the other day, agreed with everything he said. Brazil mentioned about Shelvey not playing for a big team but forgets that Livermore is in a team that will finish bottom of the league.

Different positions though. Alli is more of a number 10 whereas Shelvey would probably compete for Henderson/Wilshere's position. You also have to bear in mind the players Alli has around him at Tottenham. I doubt he'd be quite so outstanding with Dwight Gayle in front of him and Ritchie & Atsu on the wings

I doubt Alli would be as good in our team than the Spurs team, but he's a better player than Shelvey. I like Shelvey too

If he keeps up this form and doesnt get picked, it just shows dumb the FA and Southgate really are. Especially if Livermore goes

 

if he plays this way to the end of the season i think he'll be picked myself, there's often a form player that sneaks in

What a bizarre statement :lol:

 

He is not a goal scorer and that is not what you look for him to bring to a side.

 

It's like saying Carrick wasn't a goalscorer. What is wrong with you? :lol:
