Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

This is worse than Lascelles not being in like. Imo at CB you have a group of similar quality players of which Lascelles is one so while a shame, I don't think the ones who get picked are much different.

 

With this though, it's crazy. There's no Englishman who plays like him. We'll get knocked out in the last 16/8 again due to not being able to unlock the defence and we'll wonder why.

At least it'll be a good group of buddies on tour.

Concerns about his temperament while dele alli is in the team lol

 

Everyone just conveniently forgets about Alli’s past indiscretions due to the fact he’s supposedly the far superior player.

What I find interesting about the Chelsea game highlights I saw was that he's started doing what we were saying he needed to 1-2 years ago which is move the ball forward much quicker. He wasn't exactly playing one touch stuff the whole time but he was moving the ball on as fast as possible which is in stark contrast to how he played when we first got him and he'd try to take way too much time on the ball before picking a Hollywood pass. Rafa seems to have done a great job drilling that into him.

I will be very sad if Shelvey doesn't make it on the plane. He has turned a corner on the discplinery stuff and has been far more influential and consistent for the last 4 months. He's in good form and would be a great option. England lacks a creative passer, for all Shelveys sins he won't shy away from making something happen.

Everyone going on about Livermore nicking a taxi and getting done for coke.  I'm more concerned by the fact he is yet another typical English centre mid and he is utter shite.  That's more worrying regarding his selection, than the fact he's been a bit of a naughty boy in the past. 

 

Guessing he won't go, either.  But the fact he was getting in the squad ahead of Shelvey is a joke.

He'll be rested and fresh for NUFC come the start of the season. I thought he needed an operation on his knees or something? That's why Rafa said he didn't run back in one of the games we lost. He'd stand holding his knees near the end of games. I'm sure I haven't made that up.

Was it not at Bournemouth when we lost a 2 goal lead to draw 2-2?

I don't want him to get picked, it's pointless with Southgate. When the inevitable England last 16/QF collapse occurs I'd rather he wasn't on the receiving end of unjust criticism because he misplaced a forward pass instead of imitating a Henderson/Livermore shaped crab.

There's defo something in the argument that players like Alli and co won't want him there and is a reason he won't get picked. Absolutly pathetic, if Southgate can't feel like he can manage him then he shouldn't even be a manager. Imagine spain doing it sith Barca and Madrid players.
