Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

Used to stick up for him a lot.  But I'm fed up of watching him wander about, pissing and moaning and now all of the ridiculous quotes to go with his shite performances.  We have eyes, Jonjo.  Stop talking utter bollocks.

 

Sick of the cunt, TBH.

The manager plays him every game so it's self preservation by him.

 

Same way as already mentioned by others, that Bruce lies about team performances to consolidate his position as manager and curry support in the media.

 

I hope all those that were loving his goal yesterday enjoy the quotes and the teams continuing demise.

Under Rafa he was 4th choice, couldn’t be trusted, showed no signs of improvement when used and the manager wanted him gone.

 

Under Bruce he’s got a new contract, plays every week, no pressure on him to improve and gets loads of days off.

Sums up our transition pretty well.

Nicely taken goal, but apart from that he got schooled all night by that Twine kid from Newport. He ambles around the pitch like he was playing in the 1980's.

 

Had him on strings, you could say

This is about where I am - I've liked him more than most, but he's been absolute pish this season (and for too much of his time here overall). The Bruce ring licking is just pathetic

There's still no one else to play there. Sean Longstaff is even worse at everything.

 

If it’s two in the middle, it has to be Hayden and Hendrick - even though Hendrick doesn’t look... the most skilful player to pull on the black and white.

Jonjo at least tries to pass the ball forward and create something, Jeff Hendrick next to him absolutely does nothing week in week out.

 

Shelvey is meant to be creative and he does a pathetic job of it, Hendrick isn't the same kind of player, Hendrick isn't in a team to create anything.

 

Shelvey is the one that gifted Man United the game (with Bruce), not Hendrick as well.

The most annoying part of watching this player is hearing the commentator every week talk about what he "has in his locker" the "ability he has" when he plays his 50th long pass directly to the keeper, has an unnecessarily difficult pass blocked, or plays a long diagonal that does not progress the team. You would think he was some version of Pirlo, and it was NUFC that was holding him back. Jonjo has attributes; his goal record from midfield is good and he is fairly progressive with the ball, but the negatives outweigh the positives, imo. You will never build a serious team with him as one the two midfielders. Defensively, he is lazy and has the dynamism of Anita and Colback. Going forward, he is slow on and off the ball. Shelvey will never be anything more than an decent player for a poor team or a bench player for a decent one. He'd have no place in a serious side.

His inability to run cost us the goal for 2-1.

 

A midfielder in a two needs to be able to run back as much as he does going forward. Watching him run is like watching someone try and move in slow motion. It makes no sense that he hasn’t been replaced. I guess he’s ones of Bruce’s good characters so an automatic starter
