Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

I think Shelvey will go to the world cup. I don't know why, I just think every manager has their wild card and Shelvey will be Southgates.

 

He scored in front of the England manager on Saturday, that will do him no harm.

 

Only 2 more friendlies left before the start of the World Cup though. Not exactly an optimal amount of time to get him in.

 

If he does go it'll be through injuries to other players.

Those 2 friendlies take place after the squad is announced I think though.

I think Southgate has had a proper brain fart with his decision not to include Shelvey. With the amount of pace he'd have around him, his vision and passing would be lethal. . When you consider Jake Livermore has been getting a game lately, it's a real kick in the chuff for Shelvey. I guess England's loss is our gain

Can see Shelvey not going to the World Cup, and the new England manager putting him straight in for the first matches in the new season.

 

Reminds me of how Stevie Mac handled Beckham.

He won't be picked like. He's seen as far too much of a loose cannon and had the exact reputation Southgate and the blazers at the FA run a million miles from.

 

I don't blame them either tbh, although i wouldn't understand Lascelles not going at all.

But he isn't a loose cannon.

Fair play to Murphy.

This utter shite about 'he can't be trusted' :idiot2:

 

Dele Alli is more than likely to pick up a card or two, or three but you play guys for their ability surely? Not whether you think the opposition may try and get them a booking or sent off.

Rooney was an absolute liability for years but apparently his 'edge' was an asset that made him the player he was.

Different story for Jonjo though. The double standards from the FA, former players, pundits and commentators is sickening

Maybe what is unacceptable is that he's scored 1 goal in 39 Premier League appearances for us.

 

Lewis Cook has 0 in a similar amount of appearances, this season & last.

Jordan Henderson has 1 this season, 1 last season.

Jake Livermore has 0 this season, 1 last season.

Eric Dier has 0 this season, 2 last season.

 

All of their assists are similarly low. For whatever that is worth.

 

People are not arguing that Jonjo Shelvey is Frank Lampard. They're arguing that he's a better option than Jake fucking Livermore.
