Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)


Recommended Posts

I used to loathe Shelvey, I mean everything about him.. but he did turn things around last season and was visibly putting in more of a shift, none of the previous managers (including Rafa) could get that out of him, but he’s obviously bought into what Howe is trying to do. But then on the flip side, why should a player be that difficult to motivate?

 

I’ve never doubted his passing ability, it’s one of the best in the league, it was his overall contribution when we didn’t have the ball. Letting players just glide by and then getting sent off needlessly. I really thought he was done after that first game after the takeover. But he came back well and did his part for the team. Then in pre season he was looking in his best shape since signing for the club, it’s a shame really as we might have seen what he’s really capable of.

 

Too soon to say he’s finished at the club but depending on who else comes in, it might be difficult for him getting back in the team.

For someone who’s never looked up to pace,why has he chosen to use a personal trainer now? I stand corrected if he’s always used a one since he signed for us.

I’m pretty sure it’s not the first preseason he has put in extra work to improve his fitness. Recall similar interview/blurb in the past,  maybe pre Bruce days?

It’s never showed in the past.If he is out for 12 weeks,I would imagine we’ve seen the last of him.

 

 

 


The rest of the season runs from January to May. He’ll be back im sure.

He’ll be over his injury but if he isn’t going to figure in Eddie’s long term plans,and I cannot see that happening,there’s no way he’ll play enough games to trigger a years extension to his current contract.If he returns in January he’ll have lost the extra fitness he’s gained by having a private trainer.
