Jonjo Shelvey (now playing for Burnley)

He’s ridiculously underrated on here. Always been a decent enough player for us and was probably our best player in the Championship.


Remember his form for us under Howe was keeping Bruno out of the side for long periods last season and massively contributed to us staying up. 

 

Not having that, like Bruno was slowly integrated into the side and rightly so. There was no way he'd be 'kept out' of any side in favour of Jonjo Shelvey.

 

I think he's rated with fairness and perspective on here. A fine passer of the ball but lacking in athleticism. Needed a decent manager to get the most out of his specific set of skills in the context of what a top-half level CM should be in 2023.

 

Edit: under inept fucking cunts characteristic of the previous regime, his limitations were obvious.

Yeah that's complete bollocks. Howe didn't want to change a winning side and when Bruno did come in, it was in a number 8 with Shelvey.

 

I'd be surprised if Shelvey is seen in the PL from next season. Forest will find out that he's well off the pace.

Feel like shit. Just want him back [emoji38]

 

I won't miss Shelvey running backwards, holding the CBs hand and demanding the ball.  Thus reducing the number of players we have ahead of the ball to retain possession once we've progressed it.

 

Seriously, he's just doing in this video what Schar and Botman do for us now. 

 

Won't miss him.

Atrocious today for Forest, gave away a penalty and then chickened out of a header which led to second goal.

 

Any fleeting moments where I think we shouldn’t have let him go evaporated entirely when I saw that ?

Ah, Forest fans getting the full Shelvey experience. A package of highlights from his debut featuring his unbelievable passing range followed by weeks of fuck all other than long balls and free kicks wafted into the stands and petulance, either by refusing to track back or doing it really poorly leading to a pen, red card or goal against.

 

Someone'll bump this again in August when he has his next good game for them.

Making 30 signings and starting a midfield of Colback and Shelvey is genuinely amazing. 

Their decision to sign Wood having seen him play for us for a year was even more baffling.

Wood was laughably bad yesterday. He stayed on the pitch for 70-odd minutes too :lol:

I’ve not seen a premier league level player with worse movement, it’s bordering on a disgrace considering the level.
