madras Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 6 hours ago, buzza said: he was playing really well last night, very composed on the ball and a couple of his over the top raking passes were very close to making a difference. he covered a decent bit of ground as well, actually looked faster than normal or maybe a bit thinner... Certainly looked fitter towards the end of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 He was looking as lean as a cat last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Before his injury, I thought he looked really good last night, sharp, quick, pressing, nice quick early balls that were short and not the Hollywood type, yes he sat on top of the defence, but it allowed them an out as they could play into him. Hopefully his injury isn’t a serious one, mind I’d worry if we are starting with him next season or if he’s a regular starter. That’s the sharpest I’ve seen him given it was a friendly!

He also put one a plate for Murphy after doing this not long before his injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Still think Jonjo sitting with Bruno and Joe ahead is our strongest midfield. Be a shame if he misses the start of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Given they way we’ve played this is a pretty big blow for the start of the season. I wonder if he’ll play Bruno deeper? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) It's a shame for him as he looked in good nick. We'll be fine with Longstaff for a couple of weeks though, he seems to have a better on-field relationship with Bruno.

Happinesstan Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I'd be happy with either Willock or Longstaff. Willock has slightly outshone Longstaff, in the PSFs, but they both look up to the task. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 3 hours ago, NWMag said: Would guess that maybe Longstaff will play the Shelvey role You would think that, but Longstaff has always operated in more advanced midfield roles when he's played hasn't he? I think it will be Bruno in the holding role, and Shelvey/Willock in front of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Gutted for him, after the work he put in during the Summer and pre-season this must be awful for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Gutted for him; everything I've read about how he's been since Howe has come in has been first class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Typical Like the rest of the squad, shelvey was looking in fine shape for the new season and would've been very handy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I like Shelvey and the way he has impressed undet Howe is credit to him, however I can't help thinking his body is starting to break down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Feel bad for him. Don't mean to take the piss, but it would be ironic if he ends up not playing enough games to get his contact extension after all... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 That's shit for him and us. For all the criticism he used to get, often fairly often not, I really like him. Thought he was really good for us to the point of being underrated once Howe came in last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
