Guest chopey Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 At least TCD is consistant, he never rated Shelvey from day one, but I still think he's a good player if he wants to be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Shelvey has the ability to absolutely take the piss in this league, despite his weaknesses and flaws. Not convinced we will see that, but I retain hope that he can apply himself properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 On his debut I remember being so excited about him, but he just hasn't done it since then. A real shame. I was the same with Sissoko. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Certainly helped that West Ham gave him the freedom of Newcastle in the first half of his debut Fulham were also giving our CMs a huge amount of space and time too. At the very least, you'd think Shelvey would help to draw opposition out because of his range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I think there's a quality player in there somewhere, but if Shelvey can't be arsed with Rafa Benitez as manager, he hasn't a hope of realising his potential with us or anywhere else imo. Such a waste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Thought he was good when he came on like, would start him every time in the Championship unless there's disciplinary issues I thought he looked off the pace as usual. He did pick out a couple of decent passes when he found some space, but he also committed a couple of clumsy fouls. I think he's another one who's going to find it easier against teams who give him time on the ball. We didn't get much against Fulham, maybe some of the other championship clubs won't apply as much pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Thought he was good when he came on like, would start him every time in the Championship unless there's disciplinary issues His attempts at tackling the opposition were pathetic, he can't tackle for shit.

The College Dropout Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I was cautiously excited when we sold him. The negative side of his game is worse than I expected. If a teams fans is sitting in 16th and is happy to see a player leave - it's a terrible sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I look at him play and I really do struggle to see how he played in a 2 in midfield for Swansea for so long, he's just so poor at defending Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Monk's last 11 months where Shelvey played as a CM Swansea lost 9 games out of 28 that he played in. Is that 'a lot'? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Last season he was sacked and they were 16th or so. From what I heard from Swansea fans Shelvey was terrible / rightly dropped. I don't see what your point is. He joined us. Was largely terrible. Then rightly dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I still have absolutely no idea why we signed him. Especially given the fact we were in a relegation struggle when he arrived. He's a player we simply can't afford at the moment, good passer of the ball or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 He's been a disasterous signing and from what I've heard is continuing his "I'm not fussed attitude" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I thought he was OK yesterday. Certainly nowhere near our worst performer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I thought he didn't effect the game at all, didn't pull off any Hollywood pass, didn't create anything in the final third of the field, didn't work hard enough and really didn't look too bothered at all. It's not a question of being the worst player on the pitch, he wasn't, but he's not put in the performances we should be seeing. I'd happily see him sold, he clearly has a very high opinion of his limited abilities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Seemed to have a lack of options so regularly resorted to lofting a long range pass to Anita, etc... still a better option than Colback but not the answer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
