The College Dropout Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 A big worry for me is that Howe rates this lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 41 minutes ago, WarrenBartonCentrePartin said: Got in earlier than usual yesterday so saw some of the warm up. It was green and yellow bibs playing keep ball. However, this special little egghead had an orange bib on. It immediately became obvious he was playing for whichever team had possession - presumably because he’s seen as the focal point in our midfield. While nothing major, it was just a slightly concerning insight into how he’s presumably viewed by the coaching staff. There’s no need to persist with him. He’s replaceable and could easily be replaced. I got in early as well and was surprised at how late we came out to warm up. It’s been a while for me at a live game so this might just be standard procedure ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Pundit Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Shelvey's a twat, he's been a twat for a long time and I don't think he'll ever change. He's a typical example of a footballer who could be a lot better but choses to waste his ability and employing a shit attitude, he should never be in the first team again.

It's off the ball and general attitude that's missing . He's done it a few times now when someone new comes in he puts it all in, he's actually had a few good games for us recently then he reverts to type and is a fucking waste of time . Like a multitude of these cunts they shouldn't be at the club. The list is long and growing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 His ability on the ball is also massively overrated, other than aiming aimless floated balls that get cut out, what is his ability ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list is long and growing Wasn't there yesterday owing to illness but attitude is a key issue throughout for us now and I cannot help but feel that's because influential players with bad attitudes are seemingly held in such high regard (because there is no one near their technical quality). We then have try-hards who get shit for not being good enough and get berated... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get a CM and he still plays Shelvey, Howe can fuck off cause then he literally wants to lose and seemingly knows fuck all about contribution Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) I am no fan of Shelvey's, he should have been moved on several years ago. But having the only player in the back 9 who is comfortable on the ball drop deep to pick it up and play a forward pass isn't really an awful idea.

Does nothing else at all. No interceptions, no duels, terrible tackles, doesn't free up space, no helping out the defending, why the fuck use him?

Guest HTT II Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I think I hate this plonker honestly, everything about his game and his mannerisms and the way he carries himself out in the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 If he has a few yards he can hit a raker of a longball but more often than not he just blind hoofs it without even looking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ManDoon Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) 6 Attempted challengesx, 50% win rate. LOL I put all the data in the Match thread if anyone wants to read it. Edited January 16, 2022 by ManDoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with Schar being good with the ball. We don’t even have runners going beyond Wood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ManDoon Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Oh yeah he's dreadful, he has basically no anticpation of the game, times his challenges horrifically, doesn't even really block passing lanes or pressure opponents. I'd love to play against him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 So fucked off with this guy's half-arsedness towards the end of the game yday. In his position he should be setting the tone so much more but instead he's selling out his teammates with garbage passes. Pretty sure one of them ultimately led to the equaliser, when he gave a shit pass to Joe in the middle of the pitch who ultimately lost it or caused a foul or something. Just keep the ball for fuck fucking's sake. If we don't sign a CM we're fucked. Genuinely believe we coud just about get away without a CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Trippier played a ball up to wood that was fine, but his touch was very poor on his chest and he lost it. Not on Shelvey that one. Grainy image I know, but he doesn't control it with his chest at all and loses the ball. I feel like I have a vendetta against Wood lol, but yeah that;s what happened.
