Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

Well for the statisticians, Cabaye’s little pass into Ben Arfa with his back to goal inside his own half is an assist. Hayden’s 10 yard pass to Schar v Cardiff before he skinned everyone goes down as an assist. Almiron v Everton and Longstaff yesterday aren’t yet I know which ones had a bigger part in the respective goals.

 

Almiron's at Bournemouth last season - carried the ball about 50 yards - was chopped down on the edge of the box and Rondon smashed in the free kick!

What a crock of shit!

Longstaff hasn’t looked anything like the player he was under Rafa and as someone pointed out above, Shelvey is going through a purple patch, and yet some of you still want Longstaff in the side over Shelvey. Makes no sense at all. If Shelvey had been in the side today we’d have looked more dangerous without a doubt. Even if it was just at set pieces because Longstaff’s have been terrible all game.

Shelvey can usually pick a pass when he's on the ball - which isn't much because of his lack of involvement. But one player can't make a passing team. The whole team is shot to shit due to lack of coaching. None of the four Steves seem to have any idea how to get players moving into space.

Shit player whether scoring or not, whether in the team or not!

 

You don't do half measures any more do you. or did you ever. He's not a shit player, but he is limited depending on the opposition.

 

Nah he’s shit, shit state of affairs he’s seemingly a key player for us now under Bruce in 2019. Rafa had him sussed!

Other than stopping when he should have run towards that ball, was he noticeably shitter than anyone else on the pitch? He started pretty well.

 

Of course not. He gets criticised every week even when scoring winning goals. We're a far better side with him in it.

 

We weren't last season.  Obviously things are different now.
