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.

Had a Swansea fan telling me last week that Shelvey was shit, was lazy and would never track back.

 

Asked him if he'd seen any part of any of our games since Christmas, of course not but he once stood hands on hips in a Swansea cup game and can never change or improve.

 

Pretty sure that's the same mentality that the England top bods have

I think he'd be perfectly suited to the slower pace of the International game as well. More time on the ball for him to get his head up to pick out a pass and Kane/Vardy would be in their element with the balls he could feed them from midfield.

 

Shame he'll only pick midfielders who like to pass it sideways.

Loved that Mirror article where they said he'd not make a good tourist :lol:

 

Well as long as "the lads" all have a blast seeing the sights in Russia while high fiving each other to an orgasm.

I'm assuming these people are receiving rejection phone calls and then they start telling people.

 

Which is why we haven't heard about Shelvey, he's not going to get any type of phone call.

... Until tomorrow, along with the rest of the squad. :megusta:

 

I wouldn't even care so much if I didn't chuck a tenner on him going when he was 10/1.

He's not been in the squad for ages so doubt he'd get a call just to tell him he's still not in.

Thanks for simplifying my point ?  O0

Lack of Wilshere could indicate a last minute change of heart after all who is there to pass a ball?

 

Southgate really isn’t going to pick Livermore before Shelvey and Wilshere is he?

My mate seems sure it'll be Loftus-Cheek.

Isn’t he more of an attacking central midfielder?

I like Loftus Cheek but he's not the in the same mould or currently of the same quality as Shelvey. I watched a bit of him in the last couple of Palace games, he's not ready for international football yet and is more of a backup for the likes of Alli and Lingard to me.

 

Wilshere not being included is a positive thing for Shelvey. I think it's a huge mistake though if Livermore gets the nob ahead of both of these. If he wasn't going to take Shelvey then surely he had to take Wilshere.

Henry Winter seems to think it’s all down to Shelveys refusal to play for the U21s.  Pretty pathetic if true.

 

What's this? Just Googled and I found a video of Shelvey refuting it but not really clarifying what the confusion is.

Can't believe Wilshere hasn't been picked. That's pretty crazy. He's one of the midfielders that has real quality.

 

If both he and Shelvey aren't included man ... wow :lol:

 

Livermore is so ordinary, has a history of drug use and nicking taxis and has just been relegated. Loftus-Cheek is better as an attacking midfielder and can be really carelesss in central midfield.

 

Southgate looking like he is going to bottle this world cup very badly.
