Gallowgate Toon Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 He'll need some carrying at times but he's our best shot at some creativity from deeper positions by an absolute mile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I know this guy isn't perfect, but I can't accept Colback playing ahead of him. In Hayden we also seemingly have a physical and mobile DM that can suitably support him now, so it's just not on really. Think Rafa tried to go a bit more defensive due to it being an away fixture, but when Colback is the option, there is no reason to do so, because he actually sucks defensively ultimately.

Hughesy Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Think we need to find a way to utilise him to be honest since, for al his faults, he can pick a pass and play it and our central midfield needs to be more creative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Yep, he has to play because he's the only one who can pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgs Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Comes on and gives away 2 fouls straight away to help fulham run the clock down. I'd ship him off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 That freekick at the end was one of the worst pieces I've ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Comes on and gives away 2 fouls straight away to help fulham run the clock down. I'd ship him off At the same time, his passing opened up for us to be able to put 3 or 4 crosses in. I think he has to start. He clearly has some mental issues he still needs to battle with though. Seems frustrated too easily. That freekick at the end was one of the worst pieces I've ever seen. Perez had two or three worse than that in the same game tbf. Or are you talking about the one he gave away? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Has to start from now onwards. I understand some of the criticisms but we had Colback, Anita and Hayden playing safe, side-ways passes last night and it got us absolutely no where. If Shelvey can get back to form he's a top 10 Premier League player, he should dominate the Championship. We're going to have a lot of the ball this season like in phases last night, we can't continue to do nothing with it or else we can't be surprised when nothing happens.

Altamullan Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I liked Gayle's movement and pace last night. Add Ritchie and Aarons pace and determination into the mix and Shelvey could be a vital piece of the jigsaw. He certainly has the ability to pick out passes to them from deep and more importantly, if we play the same formation, pop balls in to the space behind the opponents defence/midfield for them to chase. Add Mitro/someone capable of holding the ball up in the final third and it might just be good to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AY Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I think Shelvey should be played, or at least someone who can pass to tight spots and receive a pass under pressure. Hayden was shouting for the ball for god knows how long and Wor Jack turned and passed it backwards/sideways. Colback is just too slow and predictable on the ball for possession game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy2Sheds Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Automatically looked to play the ball forward. Different level to Colback, ginger fuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Has to start really. Shit attitude or not he's a far superior player to Colback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Will need him in home games when teams have no interest in attacking. Tries too many Hollywood balls for the premier league but they might be just what we need this season. If we can start on the front foot ala West ham at home we will pick up comfortable wins.

Mike Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Has to start really. Shit attitude or not he's a far superior player to Colback. Does Saivet still exist? I feel like he's played ten minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 If he doesn't try Hollywood balls he'd be absolutely pointless though. He has the ability to pull them off otherwise I'd be annoyed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hope he starts next game tbh but he's useless when chasing the lead. 10 men behind the ball and he's giving it big licks spraying it across the pitch for nee reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Gives away so many needless freekicks but looked good on the ball. Would have been much better if Anita came off instead of Hayden for Shelvey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 The whole Shelvey has a sh*t attitude? never noticed it really, Who has a good attitude? Colback/Anita? lets all smile and bum the crowd, like that really matters our strongest midfield possible now and once Sissoko packs his bags will involve Shelvey. Hayden Shelvey Diame Ritchie Aarons Mitrovic Gayle I would not look past having the team like this once they are all available/fit. unless any more are incoming.
