Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

Was there any reason given on the commentary for Shelvey's absence from the squad today? Odd that Longstaff was named ahead of him, and Shelvey might have offered a different option in the second half to Ki, who was far from his best today...

Was thinking the same, where is he?

Cost us two points today because despite being in his prime, having played central midfield all his career, he's still unable to do the defensive basics like pick up runners.

 

Thats why he'll never be more than a bottom half premier league player. Thick fucking cunt.

Exactly why he's ended up at us and Swansea. It's great pinging 40 yard balls across the pitch but if you can do the basics required as midfielder you won't get anywhere

Ritchie didn't cover himself in glory, but Shelvey has literally barely been on the pitch and watched his man walk straight past him, not even bothering himself to look like he's tracking him. Inexcusable and pathetic.

Both Ritchie and Shelvey have the same problem, for all they are great going forward, they aren't up to much going the other way.

Really? I feel like Yedlin has looked more exposed now that Ritchie's popping up on the left precisely because he put in a shift defensively.

Complete opposite to Hayden in terms of energy and tracking.  Thought Hayden was actually very good today, gives an energy (and speed in running) from CM that we don't get from anyone else. Then Shelvey comes on and strolls around like he doesn't have to do owt
