Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

Himself and Hayden are the perfect mix for me like.

 

The whole central midfield 3 are a good mix with the pace and power of Diame, the efficient passing of Shelvey and the mopping up of Hayden. Thought all 3 were excellent today

 

It all gets ruined and unbalanced when you add a bit of ginger into the mix

:thup:

 

If we do opt for 2 up top when Mitro returns, which of Diame/Shelvey goes to the bench?

 

Diamé all day for me.

 

Shelvey would be my first name on the teamsheet in positions with competition.

I was so pleased with how he played today, it was like something clicked. There was a moment earlyish in the first half where he quickly skipped past a couple of players; it was like he remembered he was actually quite good at football. He'll piss the division playing like that every week.

I don’t regret going to sign for Newcastle. It’s such a big club to go and play for.

 

I spoke to Steve McClaren on the phone and I just liked every word he said and I just couldn’t wait to get up there.

 

I drove up through the night and it took about seven hours but I just loved to get up there.

 

It’s a massive club - in terms of size I’d put it on par with Liverpool.

 

It’s probably one of the best stadiums that I’ve gone to play every week at. The fans just are great. They get behind you and you seen last night exactly what they’re like.

 

They’ve just got the flags back as well in the stadium so it’s tremendous.

 

On manager Rafa, he said:

 

He’s got such a good pedigree in the game, obviously with where he’s been at.

 

He can’t be no fool if he’s been in charge of the likes of Liverpool and Real Madrid.

 

He’s lways won trophies wherever he’s gone and that’s something that we want to do at Newcastle.

 

At the minute we’re taking it game by game and step by step and hopefully we can achieve promotion.

 

On his goal yesterday:

It’s about time I scored to be honest with you.

 

It’s been well overdue. I think the stat was that I’d had about 31 shots without scoring so it’s about time I scored.

 

We played really well. We started off really well and we pressed and got the early goal, and that always helps you against a team like Brighton, especuially at home.

 

It was a great win.

 

Matt Ritchie wanted it (the free-kick), but I just said ‘no, I’m taking it’.

 

To be fair, it was on his side but I just had a good strong feeling that I was going to score it.

 

As soon as it was given, you can just see me running over to pick the ball up. I just said ‘I’m having it’.

 

He was asked, Is Mitrovic as crazy as he seems?:

 

Yeah. I saw him at the airport this morning.

 

He is just a crazy character.

 

He’s a top man though and he looks about 36 even though he’s only 21.

 

He is a top man and he’ll be a handful in that Championship this year.

 

On the pressure to win the Championship:

 

You’ve got to expect that.

 

It’s our fault that we went down last season and we owe it to the club to get them back into the Premier League.

 

I think that’s why many of us have stayed and are trying to fight for our places in the team to get us back into the Premier League.

 

But you’re playing for Newcastle in the Championship. The club shouldn’t be there, so it’s time for us now to get us back out of it.
