Don't think i've disliked an NUFC player more than him, apart from Colback.

Probably more for one reason only, Colback did put some effort in. This cunt just annoys me more every passing game the way he swans around totally uninterested. Ultimately though it's down to the prick in charge for picking him,

He is everything that's wrong with a modern day footballer...lazy, entitled, childish, prefers having a shit manager that will let him piss about rather than a good one who would demand discipline but make him a better footballer.

may old-fashioned is not what i really meant. 

but the cunt isnt suited to the modern game. thinks he's some kind of snide hoddle, standing in his own half spraying the ball to the opposition with his hollywood passes and not actually moving, or tracking back or pressing.

Ah right yea, my dad thought Hoddle was lazy aswell.

The thing with Shelvey is his overall play has totally regressed since Bruce came in, he was always annoying but you knew he could pick a pass out but he doesn't even do that now and he appears to not give a flying fuck, infact he seems happier as he can be as lazy as he likes and pick up 80k a week.

Allegedly on 80 grand a week also which makes it worse. He has ability no doubt, but it's easy to see more and more why first Liverpool and then Swansea were more than happy to let him go.

his "stats" for this game anywhere?

especially the heat map?

Very rarely more than five metres from the central defenders I would imagine, in fact for most of the game we were playing with a back 5 (this excluding the full/wing backs) as Longstaff wasn't that much further forward either most of the time.

He's always been like this but used to have moments of quality that made up for it. None of that this season though. He's now on a par with the likes of Geremi, Amady Faye and Alan Smith at their worst.

I agree with you 100% for the first year or so, my main issue was his inconsistancy and his overall shooting ability in the first couple of seasons. Agree also, that over the last season and a half (he had a period in the first half of last season when he did ok/average/reasonably well - depending on opinion), where his influence in games over this period is virtually ziltch; and his hollywood balls; 95% (if not more) of the time; go straight to the opposition and nowhere near their actual target.  He also looks like he is not bothered or trying throughout the games, which in unforgiveable, especially as he is the current captain of the team.

Every other club has him sussed tactically. They tell their midfielders to run into the box knowing he won’t track back.

He plays maybe 3 good passes on average each game and does nothing else. Doesn’t tackle, doesn’t press effectively, rarely scores. He’s a complete waste of space.

The same reason as mentioned before is why he’s still here. Nowhere else will come in for him.

He’s also a very unlikeable person. One of many at this club.

This cunt is a worse captain than Michael Owen.  At least Owen still scored goals despite his disinterest.
