Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

He should have been subbed after their first goal. He was stood watching his man run off him to score with his hands on his knees, he was knackered. Two days later and I still can’t fathom why Rafa chose to bring Manquillo on for Ritchie instead. We needed legs in midfield, Merino was the clear call.

 

Moar Leftbacks, innit. No More Goalz. Rafalan Parditez.

Badly worded, Ritchie is on the chase throughout the move, Shelvey can see Smith run into the space and does nothing. It’s done and dusted now but it was a poor substitution.

In the final seconds of a match, when virtually all of his teammates are in our box desperately trying to see the game out he should be doing he same. I don't care what position he's playing. He's a midfielder and started the game there, it's not good enough to just switch off responsibility because he's at number 10 or whatever. As a midfielder he should be thinking about where he would want to be and tracking the opposition.

 

It may have made no difference whatsoever so it's not a case of simply blaming him for the result. It just wasn't good enough from him, as rightly pointed out on MOTD.

 

:thup: Let's not forget that one of the most important moments of the Man U win was Gayle's double block when back helping defend for our lives.

 

Even if Shelvey was shifted to a No 10 role, I don't think Rafa would've told him not to worry about defending because of that, and I don't believe Shelvey is that thick to think otherwise himself.

 

Gayle's were completely different, like. He was in positon to defend a corner.

Funny how there's people still cracking on about ben arfa who disappeared in many more games than he was any good and never tracked a runner in his life.

:lol: p*ss off, you blatant WUM.

 

I beginning to think you most of you on here are seriously deluded. The statement is absolutely correct. Harping on about Shelvey not working hard enough, not tracking and creaming your pants over Ben Arfa is such a double standard.

 

Perez's miss was as bad if not far worse than Shelvey's and yet its getting nowhere near the attention. Probably because people know Perez is shite but the clique on here don't want to come out and say it in case it upsets somebody.

 

There's a difference between calling it as it is and being a WUM.

Straw man argument. I never said any of that.

 

But when you post shit like this:

 

Total cock up.

 

Ashley has a right to be p*ssed off at whoever assessed slimani's injury and advised him to make the deal..

 

Looks like we'll pay to get him fit for his holidays.

 

And the fact you've been banned before shows you up for a WUM.
