I think he'll play a lot more this season than people seem to think. Agree, he's one of those players who seem to have locked in for life here, I think Jacob Murphy's another one who scored for a 6 year contract or something like that. Tbf, Shelvey's not a bad player, I can definitely see him being used quite a lot for the next season or so before we upgrade across all areas of the pitch. He's a decent squad player.

Fair play if not, but I can see it from a mile off. He would get those 3 appearances no matter how fit he was returning from the summer break.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 He's making an effort at least. Whether it's good enough or not I'll respect him for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can move the ball on quickly,and forward.I’d keep him for another year and see how we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Quote Howe confirmed Shelvey’s issue after the game at the Estadio da Luz “Jonjo, it looks like a hamstring problem,” the 45-year-old said. “I don’t know any more than that at the moment. Really disappointing, he’s worked so hard to keep himself fit and be in a good place physically. Any injury would be a blow to him and for us, so fingers crossed it’s not bad. Looks like it was a hamstring injury rather than a knee, so good news in that respect, hopefully the hamstring injury isn't severe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out Steve Bruce was right all along as Howe is overtraining the players and systematically breaking them down. Unbelievable! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable! Or Shelvey's been doing gym work during the summer break without maintaining flexibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) I thought it was his knee mind. Looked like he caught/kicked the heel of the player and jarred his knee. Edited July 27, 2022 by reefatoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 he was playing really well last night, very composed on the ball and a couple of his over the top raking passes were very close to making a difference. he covered a decent bit of ground as well, actually looked faster than normal or maybe a bit thinner...

Yeah, if he was a player who could really sprint and relied on it this would be bad news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Before his injury, I thought he looked really good last night, sharp, quick, pressing, nice quick early balls that were short and not the Hollywood type, yes he sat on top of the defence, but it allowed them an out as they could play into him. Hopefully his injury isn’t a serious one, mind I’d worry if we are starting with him next season or if he’s a regular starter. That’s the sharpest I’ve seen him given it was a friendly!

Jaqen Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Still think Jonjo sitting with Bruno and Joe ahead is our strongest midfield. Be a shame if he misses the start of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Given they way we’ve played this is a pretty big blow for the start of the season. I wonder if he’ll play Bruno deeper? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
