Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

Going against the grain slightly here, but last 2/3 games i think he's looks pretty good.

 

Could be more mobile and better defensively, but on the ball and his closing down has gone up alot recently

 

He looks great on the ball, looks after it really well, but we might as well have 10 men when we don't have possession.

The sight of him ambling about with the armband on is what :anguish: was made for.

 

Forgot to mention pointing at team mates to pick up opposition players but doesn't do the same himself.

Southampton's first goal was all from his fucking shite free kick. Then the sitter he missed to make it 4-1 was shocking. Score that and all the shit that happened after that doesn't happen. Shite performance.

If Graham Jones is really the tough fucker he's meant to be, he's got to pull shelvey aside today and ask him what the fuck was going on today.

that freekick that led to their goal and then that lazy attempt to score from a couple of yards out nearly undid all the good work every other player did.

insult to the badge giving this cunt the armband.

The fact he's a mainstay in the side really represents Bruce, and his idendity he's put into this side since taking over from Rafa. Every manager will change things when taking over a new job, and his faith and reliance on Shelvey is so Brucey.

 

No idea what Hull fans thought of Huddlestone playing each week years back, but just reminds me of that. A reliance on a 'technique' player to provide creativity of passing range from midfield - he'll then off set that with run around merchants in Hayden/Hendrick like he did with Meyler and off top of my head Mason? at Hull.

 

All managers that are doing anything worthwhile in the game in recent years have had their midfield full of athletic players, with mobility that are drilled and coached into passing the ball, receiving it in tight spaces, rotating space etc.

 

It's like Bruce things he's some golden goose, a mystical player that can loft a lovely 60 yard diagonal a few times a game, and without his inclusion there is no hope whatsoever. Fanciful. Dozens of players in midtable or lower that are just as good on the ball as Shelvey, but can also get around the pitch!
