Optimistic Nut Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 He's one of the best passers in the Premier League when he's on it, never mind Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 As much as I like him I can't agree with that. In his prime here Cabaye was out of this world, and in a far superior league. Cabaye was an excellent attacking midfielder but he was really patchy as a centre mid. Shelvey isn't very mobile or a great tackler, just like Cabaye, but his passing range is actually better, IMO, and he's got an extra bit of skill in his locker. He's obviously not been to that standard for us, yet, but I think he has the talent to surpass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 The way he sprays the ball around is quite incredible at times. When he's enjoying his football he's a real force. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprays incredibly incisive passes around with absolute ease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 The way he sprays the ball around is quite incredible at times. When he's enjoying his football he's a real force. Was it the Gayle chance where he just nonchalantley pinged it with the outside of his boot? Was involved in pretty much everything last night.

Ikon Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Aye his passing is class! So much quality when it comes to this part of his game. You can tell he is loving it under Rafa. Long may it continue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 As much as I like him I can't agree with that. In his prime here Cabaye was out of this world, and in a far superior league. Cabaye was an excellent attacking midfielder but he was really patchy as a centre mid. Shelvey isn't very mobile or a great tackler, just like Cabaye, but his passing range is actually better, IMO, and he's got an extra bit of skill in his locker. He's obviously not been to that standard for us, yet, but I think he has the talent to surpass. I agree with this, I think Shelvey has the potential to be a world class midfielder on a level beyond Cabaye, but there's just something missing in his commitment at times like when he allowed that player all the time in the world to pick his spot for the second goal on wednesday. That said, he's supposedly putting in extra work on building up his fitness so hopefully Rafa will continue to support him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 We need him to play every game for us, simply because we have no one like him. Maybe we could give him a rest a couple of times but i'm worried what we would look like without him At the same time it's important that he doesn't get burned out. I don't like the international breaks at all, but at least someone like Shelvey can get a rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Don't expect him to get another rest until Preston in the cup. He's crucial to how we play and I expect Benitez will have his fitness coaches working on him to improve his conditioning to enable him to play in the vast majority of games.

toontownman Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Looks great for us. Needs to cut out a few stupid errors but in general starting to become the player we thought he could be. Deserves the love he craves at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Had a 20 minute spell where everything he touched went to the opposition. Wish he would cut that shit out. Poor passing today from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Nowhere near Cabaye for me. I don't think he can play in a team on the back foot. Doesn't know what he's doing. Cabaye was slow and fairly immobile but he thought quickly. Made a surprisingly high number of interceptions. And at very least when the tough got going he would engage in the battle. I hope I'm wrong but I can't see Shelvey being a good PL player. Hope it wrong. In this division - he can boss it. And he's one of a few players with no good backup.

Yorkie Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Even when he's playing at about 6/10 like he was today, he's just all over it. Owns the pitch. I've got boatloads of time for him tbh. He had a bad start to his career here and wasn't the signing we needed, but he's really pulling his weight atm and he's at the heart of everything good about us.
